When purchasing a donkey several points must be considered. The first and possibly the most important one is the sex of the animal. Through domestication, donkeys come in three basic types, the male (known as a JACK), the female (a JENNY), and a castrated male (a GELDING).

Under NO circumstances should a novice consider purchasing and keeping a mature, entire Jack. He is a breeding animal, with all the instincts necessary to serve a herd of females and needs to be treated with a great deal of respect - leave him to the experts. 

A Gelding is not subject to these regular mood swings, and will remain fairly stable all the time. They are just as affectionate as a Jenny, just as trainable. All things considered, a gelding is probably the best bet for the novice donkey buyer. Once you have gained more experience, then you may consider a Jenny (and possibly a foal).  READ MORE of this article at http://www.donkeysocietynsw.org.au/buyers.htm
