Dutch Landrace Goats are one of
the original breeds found in the Netherlands, and they are related to other
northwest European "Landrace" goat breeds. They are a medium sized, horned breed preferably with long hair. All
colors are allowed except for the typicalToggenburg
coloration.
In 1958 there were only two left. Those two were
bred with very similar goats found in the area. Today the population has
increased and there are over a thousand Dutch
Landrace Goats kept by members of the L.F.N.L., the
Dutch Breeders Association of the Dutch Landrace.
