Lalabugs - Kidding done

[lalabugs]

I purchased him to improve udder. Almond had a nice udder as a ff. Marshmallow needs improvement.

Those weights suggest full lamancha. Very unusual for a mini (50/50) to be that heavy at 7-8 months. If they are high percentage they could be. You should DNA them and find out who the sire is.
Bingo did grow fast and was heavy so there is that but as adults ours are generally 110 lbs (2-5 year olds)

Your goats are so pretty!

I will talk to the breeder to see if I can get a hair sample from her buck. She does not have the pb unregistered buck anymore only her mini mancha buck.

If they're mini mancha they would be 75L 25ND. Pb dam 50/50 mini mancha buck.

Thank you! We love them.

We do have 1 ND doe. DH had to have her. I've been trying to get her papers corrected. The breeder registered/transferred her into my name. However her DOB, sire & dam are all wrong! I have contacted the breeder. Who informed me they would correct it. I contacted ADGA. ADGA informed me the breeder can not just fix it. She has to write a statement saying what errors she made and how they need to be fixed. Sign it. I need to send that statement and her papers to adga to correct it.
Still np statement from the breeder. Do not want to breed her if I can't register her kids with the correct pedigree.

If you joined the MDGA then you may use their member services and the DNA for parentage is discounted. You will need hair from the kid and possible parent.

I am currently not a MDGA member, but can be. Thank you for the information. Waiting to hear back from the breeder.

Is ND breeder ADGA member ???
I would call one more time and explain to breeder what you want done with a timeline... Say ' in 14 days I am calling ADGA office to see if you have mailed the explanation necessary to correct paperwork' then do that. If you call and no paperwork at the office??? I would sit down, write a letter of complaint to ADGA that breeder defrauded. Are you an ADGA member?

 

[Donna R. Raybon]

And, it might be a good idea to ask ADGA to have breeder DNA parents and you DNA kid to ensure what you have on paper is truth!!!

 

[lalabugs]

Yes ND breeder is ADGA member. I am ADGA member as well. The breeder would have to send the statement to me. I would have to send in the statement and the does papers in together to ADGA for them to correct the issues. I am contacting breeder again today to give her one last chance to send me the statement I need. Then will be contacting ADGA further to see what can be done. Requesting DNA is not a bad idea.

My oldest DD decided that she would like to show this year. I am casually looking for an ADGA LaMancha doeling for her. My youngest DD has wanted to show. We had planned on starting next year with the ND doe for DD2, but my oldest DD is almost 6' not sure how well that would be for her to show ND?

We have contacted a local breeder to get more in depth information on showing. Almost all does I have found locally are closely related to our buck.

We have some clients that just bought 3 of our lamancha does because their young children cannot handle to ND's. The lamanchas... easy they love working with them.
Another client - same thing.
I think the ND's are just really hard for young children, I can say here, Littlest DD hates showing the Nigies. She loves the goats but doesn't like showing them because they are so terrible.
...and she is a teenager!

Working with both breeds... they are both fun but the ND's can be really frustrating - generally it's the juniors that seem to be difficult. I think next to the Nigies, the Nubian babies are the next hardest. Love them all though.

The ND would be to much then? We have not looked that much into showing yet. We will be going out to the breeders house next week to talk to her. She will show and explain as much as she can while we're out there.

We just thought because the size of the ND that it would be better for DD2, who is 7. DD1 is 15 and almost 6'.
