Beautiful!!!! Now I want a Saanen!!
As to polled kids... My polled kid had a single hair swirl in the center of her head & she looked like she had bangs in front.... Her horned sister had 2 small swirls above where the horns would have popped out. If you are planning to disbud, do it now. I do mine when I can feel the bumps, I never wait for them to break through the skin...
If you have no plans to disbud, then no worries, you'll have a definate answer on your doeling soon enough

No hidden recessives can cause polled, btw. Polled is a dominant gene.
The pic with the kitty and the one of the twins playing in the puddle are my favorite. The background of the one with the puddle is just phenominal.

Beyond cute.
I wonder if I can convince Dh that NZ would be better than KS, even though his family would be across the globe instead of down the street.....
ETA: or 30 hours away vs 30 minutes away. Time, what does it matter....?

Thanks, but I have no problems with horns on my goats. Was just curious as to how polled genetics works.

I love NZ have watched Xena warrior princess and and found out all those wonderful wild looking places were taken there. NZ the last frontier 
Your Saneen's are gorgeous! Wish we could just skip to spring, who needs winter!!
Swirlies over the horned area=horned
Some polled have horn buttons like my Cookie (never breaks the skin).
The one white one has definite swirls (buckling?) the other white one it is hard to tell guessing that is the doeling...

You got it, the one with dark bumps is the buckling, and the doeling has got 2 swirls of hair, but still hardly a bump coming up. I think it may just be slower coming through on girls, as was mentioned. They know their names now - the girl is called Willow, and the boy is Sausage.
