No Horns vs Horns & Overheating

[IdahoNancy]

My source for the Saanen heat intolerance came from John Mionczynski book The Pack Goat. In talking about the Saanen breed John notes, "A pink hide and pure white hair is linked to a tendency to overheat in hot weather, and this holds true for Saanens that have been crossbred with other breeds." pg 28. He believes there may be a common link between pigmentation patterns and different traits in a goat.
