I don't think the ears hang right for her to be half Spanish and half Saanen. They are not only semi-pendulous, they're wide all the way through, really wide- airplane ears. My opinion is that she is half Nubian and half Saanen, or half Spanish and half Nubian. She looks sort of thin to me. Poor thing.

That kinda looks like a Saanen/Pygmy cross to me but it is hard to tell from that viewpoint in the picture. Looking down on the top of the goat makes it difficult to tell how large the goat is and the proportion of the goat. A good shot of the face, from the front and a side picture of the body would be helpful!! The shot of the baby is cute but not super helpful. Maybe try posting some more pics!!

This is the baby (Annie) on the left side now, she is one month old in this pictureCan you identify the breed? - Goats

This is her mom Blossom now, she looks dairy-ish to me, she is very small boned but she is also very young, she is an August 2006 baby. The lady I bought her from had the bucks running with the herd full time. She had over 150 goats and wasn't sure what kind she was, she said maybe pygora?

and another picture of her, she's not as thin as she looks in the picture but she is very dainty in build, and her horns are very small and thin. I wish I could have gotten a good picture of her face, she has black lines running down both sides of her face, I've never seen one that looked quite like her until now.

So....Any ideas on what breeds ?
