I have a one year old goose, supposed to be a Sebastopol. Bought the egg from a seller who claimed the parents were both fully curly whites. My goose came out white, but completely smooth. She has bright blue eyes. I dont know if she is a smooth Sebastolpol or an Emden. She has 4 ducks for company but I want her to have a goose friend because everything I see says they'll be unhappy on their own. Thing is I dont really want another massive dominating goose.

Could anyone recommend a breed of goose I could keep domestically in the UK that is small, docile and would make a good companion for her?

Or am I seeking a unicorn?

If you can find a female Sebastopol I enjoy all of my girls.

If you get them as goslings too it's much easier to have them less reactive and more chill just in my general opinion.

Other breeds I've heard are good are (Buffs, Dewlap Toulouse, Toulouse). Idk if you have access to Pomeranians or Buffs but they are also well liked.
 
American Buffs are very calm and a medium to small breed, Brecon Buffs are said to be the same but I have no experience there.
My Classic Roman is also a very calm goose and they’re a small breed. Here in the U.S they’re hard to come by compared to he tufted variety but over in the U.K and Europe you’ll have a bit more luck, but you’re more likely to find them under the names “Smooth Roman” or just Roman.

Your goose might still be a Sebastopol, Sebbies sometimes don’t develop the curled feathers and remain smooth.
