To be classified as a Nuwby at Purebred, Bucks must not exceed 62.2cm, Does must not exceed 57cm and animals must conform to the ideal breed standard, and have two registered minimum A Grade Nuwby parents.

The Nuwby goat is usually created by crossing Anglo Nubian, Kalahari and or Boer goats with miniature goats (usually ferals).
Any ratio of miniature to Anglo Nubian, Kalahari and or Boer is acceptable as long at the goat looks like a Nuwby and has ears and facial profile as described.
