It is recognised that under some circumstances a Breeder and a Buyer may agree a sale before an entire male has gone through the herd book registration process. In these circumstances it remains the responsibility of the Breeder to send the registration application form, photos, video and payment to the Registration Officer.
For further information about registering male kids please see Registering Male Kids .
Would members who wish to be added to our new Breeders List or renew your entry on the List for 2025 please use the Breeders List Application form . This is also available in the section of the menu marked “Forms”. As well as looking at the Breeders List, if you are looking for stud services or you wish to buy goats, we recommend you also look at Guidelines for Buyers and contact your Regional Advisor .

PGC Code of Conduct
As a member of the Pygmy Goat Club, I agree:
- To abide by the rules of the Club.
- To always behave ethically and present a positive image of the Club.
- To consider the welfare of my goats and the best interests of the breed above any personal gain or profit.
- To be honest in advertising and record keeping/registration of stock.
- To familiarize myself with the Pygmy Goat Breed Standard and to use it as a guide in breeding and evaluating pygmy goats.
Important Notice
The new pygmy goat society that has been recently set up has no connection whatsoever with the Pygmy Goat Club which remains, as it always has been since its foundation in 1982, the official body for the breed in Great Britain. The Club manages the only recognized registration system for pedigree Pygmy Goats.
