Thankfully the Kiko world has a fix to all those crazy issues and lack of registries getting along. It's called the National Kiko Registry and I love it!

Hopefully it all works out ok for you. Shame to see so many people that this will affect and maybe put out of business.

Works out fine for us, All of ours are ABGA. Just wanted to get the info out there, incase there are beginners that aren't aware of the complications. Sounds like kiko registries are just as complicated.

Im a state Rep for usbga, all of my foundation does was dual registered ABGA and IBGA but i tranfered to USBGA because they are interested in what people have to say and are willing to answer questions, Im not bashing anyone USBGA was create by former board members of ABGA that was edged out due to politics, like the kiko registries i think all boers should have DNA test because ive seen alot of animals that have had inbreeding of different breeds.

Yes the Kiko registries are a pain too. The AKGA will only accept IKGA if both parents are DNA AKGA and the IKGA will accept the AKGA if they have both parents in their data base and are IKGA registered. Neither accept the NKR under any circumstances. Just some of the issues that drive people mad.

NKR accepts both the AKGA and the IKGA, which is why I like them.

They all have their issues and finding out who can be registered if the parents are of different registries can be a chore. Another thing I REALLY like about the NKR is that they only have 50, 75, 88, 94+ where the IKGA (don't know about the AKGA) has everything in between. What they do is add the parents percentages up and divide by 2.
Example: My goat Sis has a 97% sire and a 75% dam. In the IKGA she is 86% which means she can not produce PB kids btu instead high percentage kids. In the NKR they consider her to be 88% because they count PB and above (94%) to be 100% when the determine the percentage of the kids. So in the NKR she is 88% which means she will produce PB (94%) kids for me which means bucks can be registered and prices go up, all resulting in more money for me.

If you have a great goat and the dam is IKGA and the sire is AKGA shouldn't you be able to register that goat for what it is, such as a 100%? I think you should but with them the goat would be 50%. Well this goat should be 100% not a 50%. But with the NKR you can mix and match registries, thus having your goat 100% and registered.
