The world's highly prized wool yielding 'Pashmina' breed is -Pashmina is a very fine, soft and warm wool used for making shawls.
It is obtained from the soft undercoat of the Changthangi (pashmina) goat, which lives at high altitudes in Ladakh and the Himalayan regions.
The fine undercoat grows in winter to protect the animal from the extreme cold and is combed out in spring.
So pashmina is obtained from a goat breed, not from sheep or a cross.
So the answer is goat.
