Is the Zwartbles Sheep the right breed of sheep for me?

I have them as pets and we hobby breed lambs every year to keep the breed alive .
. . .
As domesticated animals, sheep make good pets because they are docile and easily connect with humans, especially lambs that are bottle-fed.
. . .
Trust me they are the best breed of sheep anyone could ask for :)) :D .
. . .
The pasture must be fertile and large enough to support the grazing of sheep for about seven hours a day (morning and afternoon).

Zwartbles sheep - The Pink Farmer

I first spotted this beautiful breed while driving through Moreton-in-the Marsh in the summer of 2005, when I noticed one on its own in the field of my local garden centre.
. . .
I turned the car around and went back to ask what it was, and my love affair began!
. . .
The Lambing of 2010 brought the girls up to 19 and the saw the purchase of Beech Hay Patrick to use as my new stock ram.2011 has been a good year for sales with three new flocks started with Kimberley stock, seeing 14 ewes and lambs find new homes.
. . .
A wonderfully easy and prolific 2009 lambing later saw the flock up to 15, though a few boys were destined for the freezer!!!
