Not just you! She is a beauty!

 

She looks like a diva already

 

Not just you, I agree! She's gorgeous! ♥

 

Yep, you're right! Pretty girl!

 

I'm so attached to this little doe, I can't part with her. I really like her Mamma too.

Question: Her dame is registered and has good milking lines but her sire isn't. Dame and sire are both PB nubian. What options do I have registering her and would it make any difference in breeding her for her offspring?

I'd like to breed her with my ND buck for some mini nubians. My Nigi buck is registered and has a decent pedigree.

 

Aww, she is beautiful! Congratulations on your first kidding!!

 

SO nice

 

She is very cute! Congrats!

Here is some info. on registering...

ADGA recognizes the following breeds: Alpine, LaMancha, Nigerian Dwarf, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, Sable and Toggenburg.

Purebred - the offspring of a purebred sire and purebred dam of the same breed that conforms to breed standards. LaMancha and Sable are the only breeds that can upgrade from the American herd book to the Purebred herd book.

American - the offspring of a sire and dam of the same breed that conforms to breed standards and also has the correct number of consecutive generations of ancestors who conformed to breed standards (minimum 3 generations for does and 4 for bucks).

Experimental - (1) When two different breeds of Purebred or American goats mate, their offspring are eligible to be recorded as Experimental and must be shown in the Recorded Grade class. (2) Purebreds or Americans that have serious enough defects to disqualify them from being registered in their breed, must be recorded as Experimentals.

Recorded Grade - Does who do not qualify for either the Purebred or American herd books.

If a doe meets breed standards for a specific breed, she can be recorded as Native on Appearance (NOA) with a written statement of this breed appearance signed by a current ADGA member (not a member of the applicant's family) that the doe being recorded conforms to a specific breed type. A certificate is issued at the same cost on a brown certificate and the goat is called a Recorded Grade. This goat's daughters by a Purebred or American buck of the same breed would be 50% American, and the great granddaughters would be American, provided there has been three consecutive generations of correct breed type (see American section). ADGA does not record grade bucks.

However, AGS and ADGA don't accept mini nubians...but there are some smaller registries. I think MDGA is a popular one...but honestly...I don't know anything about registering miniature dairy goats.

 

Thanks! I will have to read and re-read this to unravel its meaning. I guess I only care if it makes it easier to sell the kids. I really like her markings and she's such a strong doe.

 

Beautiful!!!!

 

This one has my heart and her personality is spot on for me. I'm keeping her. I know I won't love them all, but, this one got me.

Funny, her brother is the love bug. He loves to snuggle and cuddle in your lap, yet, I still like Willow, she's my sassy monkey.

 

She is gorgeous! Cant wait till my Nubian kids again! Just so exciting not knowing what they will look like! She is absolutely precious! Congratulations and enjoy!

 

It was pretty fun guessing their colors before they were born. I thought since the buck looked like [fill in the blank] and my Lucy is [fill in the blank] her kids will probably be like [fill in the blank]. The buck was black and white spotted and I really expected some black but alas, we got brown and spotted. LOL

 

Congrats on your super sweet looking baby girl... I also agree with everyone here,, she is a keeper..

 

She is beeau ti ful!!! I hear you on being special. I have a couple too!! I am finding the bucklings are more loving, cuddly and friendly. Not so skiddish! Hmmmm, must be the male thing!!!

 

Okay, here's some more pictures because I'm in love and have to share:lovey:

 

I just want to kiss her little face.

 

She is lovely. The first picture reminds me of the snow spray around windows? Its like God's sprayed some beautiful white spray on her to bring out her beautiful features around her face! Other kid looks like a cutey too! Congrats!

 

Her little brother is a handsome boy and a snuggle bunny. He looks a lot like his Ma Lucy.

 

So cute! They look like they are living in paradise too! Absolutely beautiful!

 

Thank you! I love all my goats but of course babies are soooooo cute!!
One of the reasons we decided to get goats was because our property is perfect for goats. We have 9 acres, mostly wooded, some flat/grassy and some very hilly with great rocks to play on. Oh and lots and lots of berry brush to eat.

 

Oh, little Willow and her family moved into their new pen today (girls only, unless you are a kid) and there are rocks there. Jump Willow Jump!

P.S. The little barn isn't finished, but it was urgent they move in, you know.

 

Oh how gorgeous! She is like a cross between BAMBI and a Nubian and a PRINCESS!!!
Paradise indeed. Love the way mum is watching on! You must take some more pics of your little buck too. He looks like a sweety and he looks like a BUCK kid. Some buck kids look more feminine than the doe kids sometimes! I have a wether who has the most beautiful long ears - wasted on a boy!!! Great pics!

 

Little Shane is VERY bucky, in fact I may have to sell him soon or wether him. He's already chasing Willow.
Here is Shane playing with Willow (they are inseparable). I have a really fun video of them playing. I'll figure out where to post it.

 

I posted a video in the video file: http://www.thegoatspot.net/video/jumping-beans-20.html
