MORE INFO ON THE REGISTRATION PROCESS
​WHEN YOU HAVE A LITTER, YOUR BOARS WILL TAKE ON THE SAME BLOODLINE AS THE SIRE, REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE UK OR US STOCK. THE GILTS WILL TAKE ON THE SAME BLOODLINE AS THE DAM OF THE LITTER.
​
WHY DID WE CHOOSE TO FOREGO THE COLOR CHART? ALL BOARS INHERIT THEIR FATHER'S BLOODLINE. THIS PRINCIPLE IS THE BEDROCK OF OUR BREEDING, AND THIS DECISION SOLIDIFIES OUR COMMITMENT TO TRACING THAT PROVEN LINEAGE, REGARDLESS OF UK OR US STOCK DESIGNATION. THIS FOUNDING DECISION HELPS US HIGHLIGHT THE INCREDIBLE GENETIC HERITAGE OF OUR SOCIETY! WE BELIEVE FOCUSING ON TRUE LINEAGE IS THE MOST VALUABLE INFORMATION A BREEDER CAN HAVE!
​
THE CYCLIC BREEDING SYSTEM (COLOR CHART) WAS ORIGINALLY ADOPTED IN THE UK WHEN THE BREED WAS NEAR EXTINCTION. THE PRIOR BLOODLINE NAMING SYSTEM WAS USED TO PREVENT INBREEDING, BUT AT THIS TIME, OUR GENE POOL IS LARGE ENOUGH THAT WE NO LONGER NEED TO USE THAT SYSTEM!
FOR THOSE WISHING TO DUAL REGISTER, YOU SIMPLY NEED TO PROVIDE US WITH YOUR REGISTRY PEDIGREE AND WE WILL PRESENT YOU WITH A NEW USGOS PEDIGREE. YOUR BLOODLINE NOTED ON THAT PEDIGREE WILL REMAIN THE SAME ON YOUR USGOS PEDIGREE FOR PURPOSES OF DUAL REGISTRY, BUT GOING FORWARD ANY LITTERS YOU HAVE WILL ADOPT OUR BLOODLINE NAMING SYSTEM.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE!
