A Guide to Selecting,
Caring, and Training
Donkeys
are gaining in popularity across the country. They are used in trail riding, as
pets, to guard livestock from coyotes and wild dogs, and as show animals.
Donkeys are also used to breed mules, which are a hybrid produced by crossing a
male donkey with a female horse. In The
Book of Donkeys, Donna Campbell Smith will cover the origin and history of
donkeys world-wide. She will include chapters on breeds and types, care,
housing, breeding, training, and the use of donkeys in the same format as her
previous three books with Lyons Press. The
Book of Donkeys will stand alone as an introduction to the world of
donkeys and donkey keeping.
