COAT
Coat length should be 4-6 inches long and straight, wavy
or forming spirals. It should not be too thick nor should
it be fluffy or fuzzy.
Fleece: Texture should be light and silky similar to the texture of
the Angora Goat. Appearance can range from an almost straight loosely
waved to an obviously waved coat.
Colours: It is normal that all colours may show bleaching and discolouration
over the top coat, referred to as sunning, this is quite expected and
acceptable. Any solid colour is preferred and considered the ideal
for the breed. Although a small white mark on the chest, and/or toes
is permissible. Parti [Patched], Phantom, Brindle and Sable though
not preferred are considered an acceptable colour.
The preferred colours are as follows:
• Chalk: This colour should be a white colour but when compared
to white is rather a chalky white in colour.
• Cream: This colour should be a creamy colouring sometimes
with apricot/gold hinting, all shades of cream are acceptable.
• Gold: This colour has also been referred to as “apricot” should
be the colour of the inside of a ripe apricot to varying shades of
rich Gold in colour.
