The Olde English “Babydoll” Southdown Sheep were one of the oldest English breeds. They almost became extinct after WWII . In 1986 Robert Mock began a search for miniature sheep, meaning 24 inches and under when shorn. After finding 2 flocks and promoting them as miniature sheep, others were found in various parts of the country. In order to keep the lines pure the Olde English “Babydoll” Southdown registry was formed. Since then the love of Babydoll Sheep has expanded and the registry has grown.
Babydolls make outstanding pets, for the young and old. They are sweet, gentle, non-destructive and have a calm nature..They have a very strong flocking instinct and Do Not do well as singles. So if you plan on getting into Babydolls , plan on starting with two.
