The Danish Landrace is derived from goats which have been in Denmark since ancient times. At the beginning of the 20th century, some crossing with goats from the German Harz region and Saanen took place. After the Second World War, the number of goats declined rapidly and a group of enthusiastic breeders collected some of the remaining animals. Unfortunately in the following years, many animals were used as recipients for embryo transfer of Angora or Boer goats or for crossbreeding with Boer for meat production.

The Don breed was discovered in 1933-34 by an expedition of the All-Union Institute of Sheep and Goat Husbandry studying goats in the former Lower Volga territory.
