North American Babydoll Southdown Sheep Association and Registry
We registered all of our breeding stock sheep with NABSSAR in June 2014. While an expensive and time-consuming endeavour, we did this so our customers could easily register their lambs from us in one of the two registries. Starting in 2022, NABSSAR will be the main registry that all of our intact lambs will be registered with.
Having registered breeding stock ensures that our sheep conform to breed standards in soundless, height, fleece quality, carriage and many more traits.
Olde English "Babydoll" Miniature Southdown Sheep Registry
All of the breeding sheep at our little flock are registered with the Olde English Babydoll Miniature Southdown Sheep (Mock) Registry. We have been part of this registry since December 2009. For a small fee, we will register your lamb with OEBMSSR, except those that don't meet the breed standard (ie spotted).
The standard for the Olde English "Babydoll" Miniature Southdown Sheep was taken directly from the Southdown Sheep Society in England. It is the standard for the original sheep changed only to allow for colors. Only white or mouse colored sheep were allowed under the original standard. There are less than a dozen breeders in Canada on this registry. Not only are Babydoll sheep rare, they are hard to come by in Canada and the United States.
Canadian Scrapie Flock Certification Program
our little flock had been enrolled in the SFCP since December 2009. In 2017 we achieved the rank of Certified! Maintaining our high standing in the program means being followed by a Scrapie Certified Vet, lots of paperwork, fees and annual health inspections.
Scrapie has been present in Canada for almost 70 years. With the majority of countries around the world currently working to actively eradicate all transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, the continued presence of Scrapie in Canada is preventing access to international markets including the United States. With your help, Canada can take action to eradicate Scrapie.
In 2020, we decided to withdrawal our participation in the Scrapie Canada program, due to the increasing costs and demands the program continues to require. Our flock maintained it's Certified standing and we will continue to follow the same high health standards that the program required of us.
Canadian Sheep Federation
our little flock has been enrolled in the CSF since December 2009.
The mission of the Canadian Sheep Federation is to represent the interests of Canadian sheep producers, through the member organizations, and provide leadership to the industry aimed at furthering the viability, growth and prosperity of the Canadian sheep and wool industry.
