When goats have earned titles, typically the stars and plusses are added to the registered names as
suffixes. Show awards are added as prefixes once the animal wins the required number of
Championships under the required number of judges as defined by the registries. In addition, ADGA
and AGS have a modification of the permanent Champion prefix if milk production merit is also
awarded. For instance, an ADGA permanent champion will have the CH prefix, and when she earns
her *M, the prefix will be changed to GCH. For AGS, “AR” is added to Master permanent Champion,
MCH, if AR milk requirements are met. These modified champion titles also apply to bucks.
