Goat breeds in the USA?

Can someone give me a list of the non-common breeds in the US?

Guernsey

Kiko

Arapawa

I don't know what, if any other than LaMancha, have been developed in the US, but the above I've heard of, and the link below is a list of a huge number of unusual ones world-wide

Guernsey are here, though most of them are from a breeding up program, due to only a few being imported before importing goats became pretty much impossible. The middle eastern type goats with the big long ears that are so neat looking are not available here.
