BREED TYPES

 

An Australian Miniature Goat breed is considered to be; an Australian bred animal, not exceeding 57cm (does) or 60cm (bucks), that has at least 5 generations of verifiable "miniature" breeding behind it. Such an animal would qualify as a Herd book purebred having two parents that would qualify for purebred status. An animal meeting the requirements such as the one above is technically an Australian Miniature Goat (as described in AMGR Rules) regardless of its registration status.

GRADING SYSTEM

 

The grading up process has been set in accordance with the Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association (America) www.ndga.org, height standards (Does max 22.4", Bucks max 23.6") and adopted by the AMGR for the continued development of the Australian miniature goat breed.
As of the 1st Jan 2006, animals are only recognised as Australian Miniature Goats after they have been height verified and meet the height requirements as three year olds.
