Lambs with their fluffy white fur already look charming, but one breed from Switzerland takes the concept of sheep’s beauty to an unattainable level. Get to know the Swiss black-nosed sheep. These are domestic sheep, whose homeland is the mountain region of Valais. Although references to them can be found in documents of the 15th century, they were recognized as a standardized breed only in the early 1960s. They are famous not only for their dearest appearance, but also for their bright personality.

Today, sheep from Valais are very fashionable among farmers and are in high demand from year to year. They are distinguished by a friendly and calm disposition, unlike their relatives – stubborn and often not too kind-hearted animals. But their charm especially stands out: black muzzles framed by angelic white curls, as well as black ears, knees and feet – these creatures seem to be revived characters of a good children’s book.
