Native on Appearance(NOA)
Registration Procedure
Definition of NOA: A doe or buck for which parentage cannot be proven by registration papers, but adheres to the TMGR standard of its breed. (please refer to the TMGR breed standards.)
**** NOTE ****
If you paperwork exists from one of the qualified registries, it is strongly suggested that you obtain those registration certificates to submit to TMGR for registration of your animals, and/or go back to the breeder and re-create the paper trail.
Once your goat is registered with TMGR as Native on Appearance it will remain as such even if you later get a registration certificate from an alternate registry.
How To Apply:
1. Fill out an NOA application indicating which breed the animal resembles
2. Provide three (3) close-up photographs showing; right side, left side and a close-up of the head showing breed characteristics.
3. Provide a letter stating why the NOA status is being requested, and all known history and heritage of the animal. Include statements from previous owners or breeders when possible.
4. Submit a non-refundable registration fee of $6 for members - you must be a TMGR member to use the NOA program.
This fee includes review by the NOA committee of all information submitted. Requests for additional photos or information may be necessary.
Once the application is reviewed and accepted, the doe/buck will be registered as NOA with the designation of NOA as part of the registration number.
