    Pilgrim, Sebastopol or Embden Geese

    I just wanted to know out of Sebastopol geese, Pilgrim or Embden. I want a breed that are really friendly (and i know you have to handle them a lot as goslings to achieve that). I’d also like a breed that are really loyal and attached to me. Any suggestions?
