| Registering -vs- Recording Registered Angora Goats are those that have been proven to meet the minimum American Colored Angora Goat Registry breed standard listed on the Goat Registry Inspection Form available in the reference materials section of this website. Registration may be based on one of two criteria: 1) Sire and Dame are registered. 2) Physical or Photo Inspection. Recorded Angora Goats are those that have not been proven to meet the minimum American Colored Angora Goat Registry breed standard. The breed standard is shown on the Goat Registry Inspection form available in the reference materials section of this website. Recording or recordation is for the breeder that would like to have a record to preserve the bloodline history for tracking and pedigree purposes and to meet show entry requirements when necessary. Upon presenting documentation that one of the two criteria for registration have been met, a recorded goat may be upgraded to fully registered status. To record a goat complete the Recordation Application Form that is available on the Fee Information & Forms page of this website.

Both inspectors must certify that the inspected goat meets the American Colored Angora Goat Registry breed standard listed in the reference materials section of this website.
