The Sable goat breed is a breed of goat whose heritage can be traced to Saanen goats from Switzerland; they were brought to the U.S by the Europeans. Also known as the Sable Saanen, these goats were recognized as a separate breed. However, before they were given that recognition, they were often culled.
The Sable goat breed have been identified to have recessive genes which have given them a certain characteristic of having different color variations. The Sable goat is fondly referred to as a “Saanen in party clothes.” Saanens are also considered to be breed variations of Alpine goats. Sable goats may come in any colored combination except for light cream or white. It is worth noting that white Saanens do not thrive well in sunny, hot climates and their productivity rates significantly decrease. Hence, they are not ideal to raise in tropical countries.

The Sable goat breed is the result of a play of genetics; the combination of recessive genes from the dam and the sire. In the books, a photo of a Sable goat does not do justice to its complex color patterns.
According to goat-related health books and publications, the color patterns of the Sable goat breed can be quite complex. A colored coat is said to be the result of two recessive genes from each parent. As long as farmers and breeders continue to raise and promote Saanens, the Sable goat breed heritage will live on.
