We do allow creation of New breeds

There are times when new breed creation is requested. We love working to create new breeds. Our members have needs, and they are the ones who know what they are personally working towards, in their breeding programs.

DNA Breed Analysis testing

IGSCR has been completing Breed Analysis testing for months. It is amazing.

  • We recommend Breed Analysis on unknown goats.
  • Fullblood herdbooks will require Breed Analysis testing starting 2021, or Parentage if the ancestors are already Breed Analysis tested
  • How IGSCR uses Breed Analysis testing
    • used in conjunction with physical analysis of animals to view if the animal, its offspring and relatives meet standards
    • used in conjunction with Official Registered Lineages
    • We DO NOT, at the recommendation of the lab, use Breed Analysis alone, or use it as the only means to place animals in the herdbook level
    • We place the analysis amounts on the Registration Certificate
