Different breeds and their characteristics:
 
There are very different kinds of goats. Depending on what your purpose for your future goat might be, you can get a good idea about the most common breeds in this link Pictures and Specifics .
 
(! The only thing in that article which is not a fact, is the part about the dehorning. As you will see, most of those breeds come from Switzerland and other countries. I can tell you, the goats walk around there with there horns just fine and people deal with them the way they are made; with horns :))
 
We raise Nubians, Toggenburgs, LaManchas and Boers; cross breeds as well. For Oberhaslis we can recommend you a great breeder close by.
