The Myotonic Goat Registry recognizes that there is a minor portion of
the breed as a whole that is naturally smaller than the majority of
myotonics. The breeding of these naturally smaller myotonic goats is
becoming more commonplace as breeders turn to the pet market for sales.
The Myotonic Goat Registry has in the past placed these myotonics in a
separate category of their own. We now see the need to define and
certify these myotonics at a particular stage in their lives.
Rules
All goats must be
MGR registered prior to Mini certification and at three years of age or
older, no more than 21" at the withers for either sex.
To be certified
all goats must have two pictures of a side view, even though the goat
was previously registered with the MGR.
The goat must
qualify for registration as a purebred (94% or more), display myotonia,
and show no distinct signs of crossbreeding.The MGR reserves the right to make final decisions
concerning distinct signs of crossbreeding. Myotonics of less than 94%
purebred will not qualify for certification
but may still be classified as Mini.
A signature from a
witness must verify measurements and method of measurement must be
explained on this application.
