best breed for pets?

[gaillardia]

I am still in the research phase. Need you opinons, please. Which breed would make the friendliest pets? I live in Colorado, so they must be cold hardy.

Whatever appeals to you.....the bulkier the animal, the more cold hardy they will be. My pygmies were pretty cold hardy but needed to snuggle with each other in winter. My most cold hardy milking doe has a lot of Nubian and Boer in her. She is impervious to the cold. She is also quite hefty.

As for friendly, that is more about the individual and how they are raised, rather than the breed, with the exception of....um....is it Kikos that I've read are pretty wild? Someone will chime in if that is wrong!

Well now...you're gonna get lots of different answers to this one Cause we all have our favorites

Personally I prefer pygmies and pygmy / ND crosses.

I was wondering if nubian ears would get frostbite? They are too noisy for me, I love my angoras.

Nubians are my FAVORITES!!! I'm in South Alabama, though. In a colder climate, I'd try Saanens. I had one who was quite loving. Raised a few Sables on the bottle and they were really, really sweet.

I our pygmies/ Nigerians! The kids can't stay out of their pen either (they make me share )

Based on climate, temperment, and lack of vocals I would go with saanen goats. Love my other goats but for a full size cold climate goat pet I lean towards the saanen.

My two friendliest goats are both Nubians. However, they are extreamly vocal, so if you don't want the noise then you might not want nubians.
