Summary

The race of goats that live in the French Basque Country is the designated "of the Pyrinees". Here survives an original kernel of pure goats that are used nowadays for the recovery of the race. In France, there were three races of recognized goats, all of which have been standardized. This is why it is especially interesting, in order to obtain its official recognition, "to rediscover" a caprine population which was substantially selected for its resistance in difficult rearing conditions and which has an important variability, at least in the genes with a visible effect. This article includes a morphologic and phaneroptic description of the goat of the Pyrinees.
