I love how you spell "Saanen" every possible way except the correct one. Tongue (I agree--it IS a weird word!)

Alpine/Saanen crosses should be nice. Look carefully at the feet and legs though. Although they are definitely improving in recent years, Saanens are notorious for being predisposed to bad feet--long, weak pasterns, splayed toes, bad hooves. The Alpine influence should hopefully improve the feet, but definitely take a good look at the parents' lower leg structure before deciding on which kid(s) you take. While I have not been around many Saanens myself, I hear that the correctly built ones make wonderful packgoats. They have mellow personalities but aren't lazy, and of course they are exceptionally large, and quite strong if their feet are up to it. I hope you get a good one!
