AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

ANDDA has developed several "contests" for their membership. In addition, member's goats are recognized for achievements in the show ring, in Linear Appraisal and in milk productions.

TITLES: What do all those numbers and letters, before and after a goat's name, mean? Here's a quick explanation.

TOTAL PERFORMER PROGRAM: In 2006, the Board launched a brand new program. The ANDDA Total Performer Program is intended to be for those does that are winning in the ring, are on DHIA or performed One Day Milk Tests and have been Appraised and/or Classified. It is an ANDDA Program that is designed to be won by the elite animals that use these "measuring sticks" offered through AGS and ADGA. Only ONE Nigerian Dwarf doe is awarded this honor each year.

ALL-AMERICAN PROGRAM: This program recognizes those Nigerian Dwarves who have proven their excellence in the show ring. Two animals in each class are chosen as the All-American and Reserve All-American winners. There are classes for bucks and does of all ages.

MILK PRODUCTION: In addition to the JUJU awards for milk production for member's does, we recognize the top milk producers in the breed as determined by ADGA and AGS. The results of One Day Milk tests for member does will be posted annually.

LINEAR APPRAISAL/CLASSIFICATION: ANDDA recognizes those Nigerians that have appraised Excellent for the first time. ADGA has posted the LA results for all breeds, which gives us an informative comparison for how Nigerians stack up.

NATIONAL SHOWS: ANDDA is pleased to recognize the winners of National Shows sponsored by AGS and ADGA. AGS show wins are available from 1996 to present. Nigerians were eligible to show at the ADGA National Shows for the first time in 2010.

SPECIALTY RESULTS: We are also pleased to post the results of our Specialty shows, held around the country.

BEST IN SHOW: It is always exciting when one of our Nigerians win a Best in Show over the big boys and girls -- demonstrating again that they are true dairy goats.
