Oberhasli

The Oberhasli is a Swiss dairy goat breed. This breed is of medium size, vigorous and alert in appearance. Its color is chamois. Does may be also black, but chamois is more common. Chamois is also called bay and may range from a light to deep red bay with the later more desirable. A few white hairs through the coat and about the ears may be present. Markings are two black stripes down the face from above each eye to a black muzzle, with a nearly all-black forehead, black stripes from the base of each ear coming to a point just back of the poll and continuing along the neck and back as a dorsal stripe to the tail, a black belly, black legs below the knees and hocks, ears black inside and bay outside. Bucks often have more black on the head than does, along with black whiskers, and black hair along the shoulders and lower chest with a mantle of black along the back. Bucks frequently have more white hairs through the coat than does. The face is straight, and a Roman nose is rare.
