I have Nubians and to get a purebred you have to breed two purebreds. You can breed up to American, for example if you get a doe and she's obviously Nubian but has no papers and no tattoo you can get her recorded as grade. Breed her to a purebred buck and the baby is 50%. Keep breeding up from there and the end result will be an American because she can never be a purebred. Does that make sense? We won't even go into LaManchas now! For now they CAN be bred up to purebred as they are still a fairly new breed.

I have one American doe and the only reason I bought her is because I recognized the farm her sire was from. I know the breeder personally and she would never let a buck live past birth unless he had something to offer. She is a beautiful doe and gives me some of the prettiest babies born here. Her babies will always be American and their babies will be American because there will always be that little something in there that keeps them from being a purebred.

OK...tell the truth...are you sorry you asked this question!! LOL!
