When selecting a Netherland Dwarf buck you are looking for the foundation of your breeding program. Think type first, color later. You are most likely looking for strong traits you would like to see in his offspring. When selecting a herd buck I look for no more than 1 major fault, although I tend to be somewhat critical. If you are unable to get a related trio, compare the buck to your does and look for offsetting faults. The first generation may not always produce the desired results. This is where a good line breeding program will help you. Find an experienced breeder in your area to assist you.
