Our Pet Sheep (What can she be?)

We have this pet sheep(1yr old) and would like Guesses as to what breeds she might be a mix of? She sheds her fur in the summer and is about 36" at the top of her head. She is friendly with my wife and I, and is a good companion for our pygmy goat.
Thank you

Of course this is only a guess, but she looks like a alpine or toggenburg cross. Maybe with pygmy. Whatever she is, I like those "Goucho Marx eyebrows".

The facial markings remind me of a tog.

Well I was unable to find toggenburg listed as a subspecies of sheep, they appear to be a varity of goat. But I am certinly no expert on sheep. The most I know about them is they eat a lot, and they taste good. Especially the hair varity , which the barbados is.
The one pictured appears to be a Black Bellied Barbados or Barbados cross.
If I knew how to attach a picture I would. Instead here is a link,

Our Barbados cross sheep are really cute. And the one that is a pet (pictured at left ) is quite a character.
