In brief, to be recorded in the NAWSA Registry and to receive a Certificate of Registration, with NAWSA number, certain requirements must be met. Registration forms for qualifying lambs must be submitted along with the registration fee. Animals must be under 24 months old to be eligible. The BREEDER of the animal must submit and sign the registration forms, as they are the only ones able to verify the sire and dam. You must be a member of the NAWSA to register animals.

Mountain Niche Web Registry is the NAWSA Registrar and offers an easy to use online form for your Registrations.  You must be a member of the NAWSA to use the online form system.   

The breeder of the lamb is the person who must sign and submit the Registration form for to the NAWSA. The person who is responsible for the breeding is the breeder, and therefore the only person who can verify the pedigree of any lambs born from that mating. 

If you have purchased a bred ewe, or have other questions filling out the forms, please contact Mountain Niche Web Registry  at  nawsa@mtn-niche.com

To be eligible for registration, both the sire and dam must be Registered with the NAWSA and meet or exceed all of our breed up guidelines.
