Registration Application Use this form for registering your miniature dairy goats (Experimental, American and Purebred).

View the 'How to Fill Out the Registration Application' page for detailed instructions on registering your Mini-Dairy goat.

If the sire of the mini-goat you are registering was not owned by you at the time of service you must include a Service Memo with the goat's application.  Attention breeders:  When selling a bred doe or allowing someone to use your buck, make sure to fill out a Service Memo so they can register the kids. 

Parents of kids must be registered with MDGA, TMGR, ADGA, AGS, CGS, or NDGA.  Only IDGR registered dairy goats can be used, but NOT Boer, Pygmy, Spanish or other meat breeds OR  fiber breeds will be allowed in the Miniature Dairy Goats.

GENERAL HEIGHT STANDARD

On all mini breeds the required minimum height for American and Purebred shall be:

Minimum height: 
            Does:  23”  Bucks   24”

Measurements are taken at the highest part of the withers with the animal standing in a normal stance.

For Maximum heights view the Breed Standard for your breed.

Experimental to American to Purebred

The advancement of Experimental to Purebred is a series of generations of registration. Experimentals are not required to meet the size limits or have perfect color in the Oberhasli and Toggenburg or proper ear set. 

Registering American Mini-Goats

To be registered as an American the kid must be 3^rd generation and fully meet the breed standards (kids are obviously not required to meet the height requirement, but should not be likely to go over height - If parents meet the height requirement, the kid will likely be fine).     

If you suspect that your 3rd+ gen kid may exceed the height limit for it's breed, then you may want to wait until they are a year or so old before submitting the application.  All papers are permanent - no upgrading Experimental to American or Purebred.

To be considered for the American Registry Books the mini goat must:

A kid can be registered as a Purebred if there are three generations of American and/or Purebred before him - i.e both his parents and all four of his grandparents must be registered as Americans or Purebreds and the kid meets the breed standards (not including height for kids).

If you suspect that your 6th+ gen kid may exceed the height limit for it's breed, then you may want to wait until they are a year or so old before submitting the application.  All papers are permanent - no upgrading Experimental to American or Purebred.

To be considered for the Purebred Registry Books the mini goat must:
