Experimental Registration

Purebred Registration

American Registration


WELCOME TO THE MDGA
"American Purebreds" & "Purebred"
RULES AND REGULATIONS

Any Experimental Mini-Goat that is a 3rd or more generation cross, can be registered as an American Mini within it perspective breed.
To be considered for the American Registry Books the Mini-Goat must

      *Be 3rd generation or greater
      *Be 12 months or older
      *Conform to MDGA standard for that breed

(if standard is not listed below, refer to AGS or ADGA standard.)

Ways To Apply for Registration

A.  If already registered as a kid as a 3rd generation (or greater) Experimental, you can apply for American Registration by sending in registration papers and a "quality" full-body picture of the animal and a height measurement taken at no earlier than one year old or older.  $1 fee will apply.

B.  If never registered, just send in the registration application, with picture and height measurement taken at one year or older with a $3 fee.


American Mini-Goats are the first step toward Purebred Mini-Goats and can be shown with either Experimental or with Purebred Mini's once they are established.  Each successive generation 3rd thru 5th must be accepted into the American book by the above method.

Registering Purebred Mini-Goats

By the 6th generation----if the past 3 generations have all bred true to breed type and size, and been accepted into the American Herdbook---then the 6th generation will be accepted into the Purebred Herdbook .

This is a policy currently being developed by MDGA to help create our mini goat breeds.  If you have any questions or ideas about the process, please call MDGA at (541) 929-3500 or email to:
