The Ukraine
A very old breed, it predates the Russia and is one of the few high female ratio breeds available. A mix of local feral animals made up the first members of the breed but was quickly refined. It is also only breed which had milk as a breeding characteristic. Often mixed with Russia blood, the hybrid pups are often mellow, gentle, and great workers, taking largely after the Ukraine. They are a very loving, mothering breed that love their pups and family. For this reason they are trusted with fragile livestock and young children. They are however very sensitive animals and can be skittish if yelled at. Although they breed well, saying goodbye to their pups is a hard time and the mother often gets distressed. The male will as well with often times both parents spending years mourning the loss of a pup. For this reason, dairy and breeders often have mothers birth in a neck harness which keeps them laid down and unable to see their newborns, who are whisked away and bottle fed or put on another female of a different breed.
Very tall and lumbering, it is a light draft breed that loves to work on the farmlands. Often nervous in large cities, the breed is at home with a family and animals. While the height is usually taller, the weight is lighter than most animals of the same size. Dense muscle, rather than large muscle should be seen. The breasts, like all females, do not form until it is time to lactate but they should be extremely large. Milk should have a fat content of no less than 20% and be very sweet. The hair must be blonde but it is preferred to be a platinum shade with blue eyes. The hair is short and thick. The flesh should be a pale milk white with little tanning. The fur can be white, blonde, crème, agouti or diluted agouti. Black, brown or spotted fur isn't accepted although it may sport white markings. The paws are very large and you can hear the breed running or walking along. Often used for draft, they are happy workers. Dairy Petalia have a good life and can give milk until death of the same quality all its life. Producing a good 4 kg of milk per day. Because of its gentle, down to earth nature it is a great Petalia for a beginner.
