Grey saddleback Pomeranian. MrsMagoo, Kawonu, Oregon Blues all have them here on BYC also.

Yeppers, that is a gray saddleback Pomeranian. I only have Buffs as does Kawonu: Oregon has grays.

These are a critically endangered breed of geese according to the American Livestock Breed Conservancy (ALBC). They should be a mid-sized breed with the gander weighing in around 17 lbs and the goose around 15. They are fairly calm, should have a single lobe, blue eyes, more pink than orange bill and feet.

Here is a link to the ALBC page about them:

Congratulations!
