registering Dwarf Nigerians

[kandmcockrell]

Is there a site or something that details how to register?
I am new to that, but have the ability and want to register my boys and girls.

I have a lot of forms and certificates that the lady that had the herd before me had.

I am just not sure where i need to pick up and what i still need to do.

Thanks!

Which registry were they with?

Here are the website of common registries for Nigerians:

www.NDGA.org (Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association)

http://www.americangoatsociety.com/

http://www.adga.org/ (American Dairy Goat Association)

The seller probably wrote in her part of the registry process on the papers (to transfer it into your name), so you should just have to fill out your information and mail it along with the fees. You can also register a herd name and/or become a member of the different associations. I know that the NDGA and AGS have online forms for that, but I'm unsure about ADGA as I don't have animals registered with them.

If i have dwarf nigerians and nubians, it would be beter to register them with the adga right?

The Nigerian Dwarf goats need to be registered with whichever registry the parents were registered with.

Your going to have to look at the papers you got and see if they are AGS or ADGA papers. If they are AGS you just send them in with the transfer fee (cheaper if your a member). You can then Get them registered ADGA if you would like to.

We dont bother with NDGA and only have a few registered AGS. All ours are ADGA registered and thats because we show and there are never any AGS shows in my neck of the woods
