This is a saanen/alpine mixed wether that I will be acquiring. The saanen was the doe. Oberhaslis are similar in color to Alpines, I think.So maybe this would be a good idea of possible color? This guy looks pretty saanen to me though.
I crossed our Ob buck to our Saanen x Nubian doe and got 2 doelings that looked pure Ob (dark w/ black trim). We're repeating the breeding again this year.
A first time cross between a pure Saanen and anything else will result in a white (Saanen color) kid. We have several Ober/Saanen X's. We are working on a breed now that will use a Saanen/Kiko bread to a Nubian or Oberhasli. We want some of the Kiko ability to fight parasites, with good milking qualities.
