When you say her ears stick out...do they stand up straight, or are they floppy? or, do they stick out to the sides?
If the ears are floppy (like a basset hound) then it is a Nubian. Also if the bridge of the nose is convex, kinda like this....) then it would be a Nubian.
If the ears stand straight up, the bridge of the nose is straight or has a slight inward curve, from the coloring you describe, it sounds like an Alpine. Although, they usually don't have spots, but more of big areas of coloring.
Nubians are the ones who would have spotting and speckling...if the ears arent sure if they want to stand or drop, then it would be a Nubian mix, or even a Boer mix.
Some Pygmy goats have spots too, but they are pretty small, but it could be a mix.
If you have a pic, send it to pawsnclaws123@aol.com and I would be able to tell you what it was.

I'd say Nubian cross with ?? brown/black could be alpine but could be Nubian too. Spots come in both. The ears...sounds like you're describing "airplane" ears - longer than normal ears but not drooping...combined with the long nose I'd say Nubian X.

Here's a pretty good site of goat breeds:

Also check out GoatWeb:

It's been a while since I've worked with goats, but that sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe Alpine?
