My doe is 3/4 Nubian with fairly long floppy ears, not quite full Nubian style. I've bred her to a Saanen the last two years.

The first year, the kid had puppy dog ears.

One of my goats is half Nubian, 1/4 Saanen, and 1/4 Alpine. She has airplane ears. Her babies which are mostly Saanen and 1/4 Nubian have really long ears, but they have some control over them; they don't droop down.
