Re. peacock goat pattern

here's a picture of a Swiss peacock goat

http://www.schweizer-gitzi.ch/uploads/pi...nziege.jpg

The name's misleading and has nothing to do with the bird but with a mispelling of an old Swiss word "pfaven" which means "spots" and referred to the black stripes on the face of the goats.

Change the "v" to "u" and you have yourself a peacock goat

The color of goat in the picture above would be foun in a Passeiertaler or Passeirer mountain goat in Swiss and Germany, a local colored variation of the peacock goat (which is white/creamy in front and black in the back). The Passeirer is allowed in several color variations and can come in beautifull roan variations.
