Dominant and recessive brown 1 in goats DP 2 1 2 (Received 2 May 1995; accepted 18 October 1995) Summary - Pygmy goats in the USA occur in a variety of colors including black, roan (called agouti by breeders), and badgerface. In a minority of animals the black areas replaced by dark brown or medium brown. The colors of kids from matings among black, dark-brown, and medium-brown goats were observed. The results are+)consistent with three (B dominant to wild type which is dominant goat / genetics / coat color / brown / Pygmy goat Résumé - Bruns dominant et récessif chez la chèvre. Les chèvres Pygmy des états Unis présentent une variété de couleurs comprenant le noir, le rouan (appelé agouti par les éleveurs), et ? face de blaireau? (?badger face?). Chez quelques animaux les zones noires sont remplacées par du brun foncé ou du brun moyen.

Recent work (Adalsteinsson et al, 1994) has documented the similarity of the genetic control of many goat colors to sheep colors. The relationship of brown to black eumelanin in goats is one aspect genetics that has been studied repeatedly with conflicting results. Early works  include those of Asdell and Buchanan Smith (1928) and Eidregevic (1941), who concluded that brown was dominant to black. This was further substantiated by Hards (1950). Lauvergne and Howell (1978) postulate that both brown and light analysis. Adalsteinsson et al (1994) conclude that light brown, typical of the Toggenburg breed, is dominant to black. The general conclusion one can draw from past work is that br
