Pygmy Goat Color ChartThis chart is not officially recognized by the NPGA but I have tried to follow the breed standard guidelines as closely as possible. I have been working on the new color chart for the NPGA and much of this is taken from my proposed color chart. I have made a few personal changes and additions to this chart from the one I have submitted to the Breed Standard committee for review. CARAMEL
PATTERN: Body
color any shade of
white through brown.
Required
Markings:
Muzzle, crown, eyes
and ears accented in
white; vertical
stripes on center
front of socks same
color as body;
hoofs, sides and
rear of socks,
dorsal stripe and
martingale accented
in tones distinctly
darker than main
body color; Face:
Accented in tones
distinctly darker
than main body
color, amount ranges
from partial to
complete according
to age and
gender.
Optional Markings:
white patches or
bellybands anywhere
on barrel between
point of elbow and
stifle joint. LlGHT
CARAMEL: Pure
white to cream with
the required darker
breed markings.
AGOUTI
PATTERN: All
body colors are
acceptable. The
predominant
coloration is formed
by the intermingling
of lighter and
darker hairs
producing an
appearance ranging
from highly grizzled
to nearly
solid.
Required Markings:
Muzzle, crown, eyes
and ears accented in
white; hoofs, socks,
face, and forehead
distinctly darker
than main body
color. Optional
Markings: White
patches or
bellybands anywhere
on barrel between
point of elbow and
stifle joint; dorsal
stripe darker than
the main body color;
varying degrees of
grizzling on areas
of the body, such as
the chest,
shoulders, mane, and
tail. LIGHT
GRAY AGOUTI: Black
and white hairs
intermingled with
slightly more white
hairs to give a
light gray color,
making the topcoat
appear to be
silver/pewter in
shade
