FAQ - Unregistered Sheep
Q: I currently have an unregistered ewe and unregistered ram. I am wondering how I would go about getting them registered and/or how I could register their offspring? Answer: The short answer is if there are no papers -> no record of lineage -> no proof the sheep is purebred. One of the main goals of most registries (and specfically Babydoll Sheep Registry Assoc) is keeping records of lineage/ bloodlines. Sheep without papers are considered "grade" sheep/ market sheep/ sheep of unknown origins... and even if the sheep looks just like a Babydoll Southdown, most will not allow for registration without the lineage. The Babydoll Southdown breed is used too often these days to bolster other breeds or "breed up" from using Babydoll Southdown genetics to risk introducing a sheep without record or lineage without registration.
