A vision- a dream
Appendix Babydolls
AABMGS has an appendix breeding program.
Thru this breeding up program we have been able to track the pedigrees and percentage of Babydoll genetics
That each grade has to be able to qualify for papers. As an added security all the Coloured purebred AABMGS papered sheep will be DNA tested. You can find this information and more on the AABMGS website
