The Full Fluffle.

AMF Boise

Solid Black Buck · DOB 3/25/2025 · 3 lbs 12 oz (Fall 2026)

This is our Boise boy. He has earned three legs with class and variety wins and is Grand Champion eligible. He’s registration eligible, and his leg certificates are included, so the new owner can register him and apply for his Grand Champion certificate. He’s a competitive animal who places respectably in tough classes, though he hasn’t yet taken Best of Breed or Best Opposite Sex of Breed.

The real story is his pedigree. Boise is straight Cody, top to bottom, with no filler and no outcrosses to work around. Every generation behind him is the same proven line, so what you see in him is what you can expect to breed. If you’ve been trying to get Cody into your barn without paying show-string prices, this is your shot.

Honest evaluation: Boise’s strengths are above the shoulders. His head is large, bold, and wide, with a short, well-filled muzzle and plenty of width between the eyes. His ears are thick and well-furred with rounded tips, hang with no ear control, and sit on a full, well-defined crown. His coat is dense and glossy, and his bone is short and heavy. He’s deep and full to the table through the hindquarter. Where he falls short is up front. He could use more width through the chest, and his head mount sits a little low, which is what keeps him from topping the table and why he’s priced as a herd buck rather than a show prospect. Paired with does strong in shoulder and head mount, he has a lot of head, ear, and crown type to offer.

He’s an eager, reliable breeder who will breed any doe you put in front of him, and he has settled six does for us, with hopefully two more in our barn right now. We want to be upfront about our results. He throws very big kits, and our does run petite with smaller litters in the summer heat, which is where our losses came from this year. Only two of the six litters produced live kits. One litter of three had one peanut and two healthy normals. One litter of five came during a heat wave, with four regular-sized kits lost on the wire and one peanut alive in the box. The other four litters had just one or two very large kits that our petite or first-time does couldn’t deliver. We recommend pairing him with a larger, experienced doe in cooler weather.

He’s sweet tempered and easy to handle, with one honest note: he likes a clean cage with good enrichment, kept out of sight of the does, or he’ll get himself dirty. Give him that and he’s a low-maintenance, hardworking buck.

We’re going to miss his energy in the barn. He’s currently bred to two of our does, and we’re hoping to keep some of his genetics before he moves on to his new home.

$500, which includes his feed and care through Convention, transport to Convention, and all associated convention fees. He will not be entered in the show; we’re bringing him to Convention for pickup only.

Available after the King City show on October 3. Message to hold him.

TBB Agent Argyle

Broken Black Tort Buck · DOB 5/6/2026 · Weight at 5 months: 3lbs 13 ounces

Argyle is a sweet junior (almost senior) buck who is a false dwarf, or normal — which utterly breaks our hearts, because he is GORGEOUS and has an amazing temperament. As well typed as he is, a false dwarf buck isn’t suitable for a breeding program, since he’ll throw very large kits that can injure the doe during birth and lead to dystocia, and he would be disqualified on the show table for exceeding the breed’s maximum weight.

He can be a little shy at first. He’ll hang out at the back of the cage when you come up to him, but leave the door open and busy yourself with something else, and he’ll work his way to the front to look out and see what you’re up to. A few oats or a sprig of parsley will tempt him forward faster. Out of the cage, he explores at his own pace, curious without being spastic about it, though he has been known to throw in a joy hop or two when the treats are especially good. Once he knows you, he’ll come up and boop you for pets; it just takes him a minute to warm up to someone new.

He hasn’t been specifically worked for showmanship, so he’d be starting from scratch there. What he will be is a wonderful companion, and that’s where we’d prefer he lands: a household looking for a friendly, good-looking buck to simply enjoy and welcome into the family.
