Correct Answer
A. NubianExplanation
Nubians stand out from the others mostly because of their floppy ears. Boers also have floppy ears, but Nubians are dairy goats and so will look more slender in the legs. They come in all different colors and patterns and so looking at their size and shape helps make sure you aren't looking at Boer with unusual markings (there are some Boer breeders developing all-red and spotted lines!)Rate this question:

American Pygmy

Correct Answer
A. American PygmyExplanation
American Pygmy goats are a charming breed known for their small size, stocky build, and friendly personalities. Originating from West African Dwarf goats, they were first imported to the United States for zoos and research purposes between 1930 and 1960. However, their adorable looks and gentle nature led to them becoming popular pets, eventually being recognized as an official breed in 1975. Today, they're not just cute companions; recent studies have even suggested that living with an American Pygmy goat can have positive effects on certain cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Who knew such a small creature could make such a big impact?Rate this question:

Oberhasli
-
Saanen
Correct Answer
A. OberhasliExplanation
The Oberhasli is a Swiss dairy breed, coming from Swiss Alpine heritage. It has a very specific color and pattern combination called "CHAMOISEE" which is the reddish "bay" color with black legs (knee to hoof), black dorsal (spine) strip, black stripes on either side of the face and black muzzle. Alpines can also be Chamoisee though, so it is hard to be 100% certain, but when you see this color and pattern Oberhasli should be the first thing to come to mind.Rate this question:

Which breed is this?
-
Alpine
-
Oberhaslie
-
Saanen
-
LaMancha
Correct Answer
A. AlpineExplanation
Alpines can be tricky to identify because they come in so many different colors. They are usually tall and slender goats. But it is sometimes easiest to identify them simply because their colors don't match the required colorings of one of the other breeds! (Note, that in Alpine conformation, all-white or Toggenburg coloring is discriminated *against* and so if it looks like either of those it usually isn't an Alpine)!Rate this question:

Alpine
Correct Answer
A. AlpineExplanation
The Alpine, a medium-sized goat breed originating from the French Alps, exhibits a unique and visually striking color and pattern referred to as "Sandau." Exclusively found in this breed, the Sandau coloration consists of a solid black coat covering the majority of the body, with distinct white stripes accentuating the facial features and a lighter, contrasting white underbelly. This distinct and aesthetically pleasing combination of colors and patterns, characteristic of the Alpine breed, makes these goats easily recognizable and appreciated for their distinctive appearance in addition to their notable milk production capabilities.Rate this question:
