The Dorper and White Dorper are a relatively new breed to Great Britain.
Originally developed in South Africa, the breeds quickly spread to all continents, making their mark in the USA, South America, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Asia.
Every spring they shed their wool, so require little maintenance for flystrike, and they rarely become cast (stuck on their backs).
