Breeding nubians to kinders

I have someone interested in four of my month old kids--a kinder doe and buck pair and a nubian doe and buck pair. The kinders have the same sire and the nubians have the same sire. So he was going to breed the kinder girls to the nubian boys and the nubian girls to the kinder boys.

Does anyone see an issue with that--other than they can't be papered, of course. I'm not sure what you'd get. But I was wondering if there would be a size issue--with the nubian boys to the smaller kinder girls. Would it be hard for a smaller kinder doe to kid with nubian blood in her kids?

Boy if it were me I'd go for the other way around. It could really mean trouble I think. No personal experience with that though so maybe someone else would say difference.

It would depend on the size of the does and bucks. If they are large nubians and the kinder does are alot smaller i think you are just asking for trouble.Them being first timers too it's a big risk.Things could go fine but if they don't it's not pretty.
I'd use the kinder buck on his sister before I'd use a big guy.
