Colors

she's got pretty close markings to my kabooki ( see picture posted below) and they say kabooki is a broken chamoisse

 

you are welcome.


now nigerian chamoisees are very different

 

OK Heather. Where are you located at? I ask because what is that green stuff? Is that Grass? WOW I have not seen that in a while. We are so dry here and have been for a few years.

You goats are very cute.

 

if i remember right she's in pomona

 

ok so i forwardede it to my ex-dairy judge friend and she said its a red based chamoisee. she said the red makes the dorsal and points faded, kind of like a dilute of the original chamoisee giving her a solid appearing color..


after i read this i went duoy!! i have a red based chamoisee!! lilbit

 

chamoisee can really be any shade of brown red ar tan. With black white cream or red points. At least in alpines...All of these animals are some form or another of a chamoisee.

 

With alpines, most colors have french names, cou blanc is french for white neck, meaning they have a white front half and black back half. But if the back is any shade of brown or red this makes them a chamoisee. Cou clair is basically the same as cou blanc but the front half is any color other then white, usually gray tan saffron or brown. Cou noir means black neck, and they are black in the front and white in the rear. Pied means spotted, usually white with spots of color. broke is patches of white, like fire is above. Belted refers to a white patch that goes around the entire barrel of the animal.
Hopes this helps a little

This thread is exactly why I am working on a webpage for MDGA that explains the colors. There are so many different variations and patterns. It can be difficult to determine your goat's color! I still have a ways to go on the page, but I'll try to post to TGS once I get it finished.
