Identity confirmation
"Identity confirmed via Stripe Identity" means Stripe (not BreederHQ) confirmed the breeder's government-issued ID matched the legal name on file. BreederHQ does not perform the verification itself.
Registry passthrough
"Confirmed via ADGA registry" (or AGS, ABGA, etc.) means BreederHQ queried the public registry and found a matching record. Click the source-record link to confirm current registration status directly with the association.
Breeder's own attestation
DHIA records, disease test results, FAMACHA practices, and herd health history are the breeder's own attestation. BreederHQ does not open, read, or vouch for uploaded documents. Request originals and verify directly.
What you can see on a goat breeder profile
