The Adventure Begins
TANJAR™
Celebrating 16 yrs of stud breeding
Est 2010
Naturally small, correctly proportioned, true‑to‑type Babydolls — in miniature form.
Welcome to Tanjar Babydoll Sheep,
a dedicated and registered Babydoll Sheep stud located in the South West of Western Australia. Our breeding program focuses on preserving the true heritage qualities of the Babydoll sheep — including genuine miniature height, correct structure, and the calm, gentle temperament the breed is known for.
We specialize in true‑to‑type Babydoll sheep, offering carefully selected breeding stock across white, coloured, and Moorit‑carrying lines. Every sheep is assessed for phenotype, structure, temperament, and suitability for stud or companion homes.
At Tanjar, our philosophy is simple: Healthy sheep, correct Babydoll traits, and transparent, ethical breeding.
Why Choose Tanjar Babydoll Sheep
At Tanjar, we breed with purpose and clarity. Our focus is on producing well‑balanced, true‑to‑type Babydoll sheep rather than high numbers. Every sheep in our flock is assessed carefully for:
- Correct Babydoll phenotype
- Sound structure and natural movement
- Height and proportions consistent with the breed
- Calm, friendly temperament
- Genetic diversity and long‑term health
- Coloured and Moorit potential
- Suitability for stud, breeding programs, or companion homes
Coloured & Moorit Babydoll Sheep
Tanjar is known for producing coloured Babydolls and maintaining Moorit genetics with accurate classification.
We follow strict phenotype‑first assessment and only classify sheep based on visible, proven traits — not assumptions.
This protects the integrity of the breed and ensures buyers know exactly what they are purchasing.

Breeding show‑quality stock since 2010. Supplying clients locally, interstate, and overseas. 
|

All of our quality stock has been officially measured at under 61 cm.
Babydolls are required to be shorn for the show ring. As they are classed as a meat breed, they are judged on muscling, condition, structure, soundness, and overall balance. |
From 2013 to 2020, when Babydolls were exhibited in major shows, they were always entered and judged under the Southdown breed category in all ASSBA‑affiliated shows.
