Breeding program

Harlequin Generations

HSSR’s generation system documents the path toward American Purebred Harlequins while keeping the breed’s future visible to breeders.

The approved outcross

A registered Babydoll Southdown is the only approved outcross for registered Harlequin sheep in the current HSSR program.

A deliberate path

The open registry closed at the end of 2022. The program uses defined generation designations to support genetic diversity and the miniature standard.

Use the official tools

Consult the generations guide and official forms whenever you are planning a pairing or registration.
