The Poitou donkey is one of the oldest and most distinctive donkey breeds, originating from the Poitou region of western France. This breed is renowned for its unusual and striking appearance, primarily due to its long, thick coat that often becomes matted and shaggy if not regularly groomed. Historically, the Poitou donkey was bred for its size and strength, making it an excellent choice for heavy labor and breeding purposes.
One of the most remarkable features of the Poitou donkey is its large, rounded ears, which are typically much longer than those of other donkey breeds. These ears, combined with the donkey’s robust build and long coat, give the Poitou a unique and easily recognizable appearance. The breed was traditionally used in crossbreeding programs to produce strong and resilient mules, highly valued for their endurance and work capacity.
