Daisy is a 2025 Guernsey doeling from the Rathbun program, selected for balance, correctness, and long-term functionality. She comes from a thoughtfully bred Guernsey background blending Rathbun and Flyingcolors lines, both known for durability and practical, real-world performance. Her dam is Rathbun Petal, and her paternal granddam is Rathbun Lotus – photos of both are on this page and show the type this line produces.
Daisy carries polled genetics, inherited through both her sire and her dam – polled Guernsey animals are uncommon, and this trait passes reliably when both parents carry it. She is dual registered with ADGA as an Experimental Guernsey (due to color flaws) and with the British Guernsey Society (BGS) as HB. As a 2025 kid, she is still in the earliest stages of development and has not yet been appraised or freshened.
