The Spanish Goat Association does not keep a Herd Registry for individual Spanish goats. So far it seems that all we have is a group of really nice breeders who know who's who with Spanish goats, and who are very dedicated to preserving the breed. Spanish goat registration is not needed or particularly wanted at this time.
Spanish goats are expected to stand strong on their individual merits. The sire and dam can obviously affect the quality of the offspring, but let's face it—some of the best breeding pairs of goats can produce a kid that should be culled.
In order to keep the strength of the breed going, parentage is not usually taken into account when selecting good Spanish breeding stock. Instead, breeders evaluate goats on an individual basis.
This philosophy has a few effects; Spanish goat herds tend to improve annually, Spanish goats have successfully avoided extreme price inflations, and artificial insemination is not very common with the breed as last year's semen does not reflect this year's herd improvements.
The bloodlines listed on this site have been approved as Spanish by history and visual evaluations. We are still hoping to uncover more bloodlines as our search for the remaining Spanish goats continues.
