I could be wrong but it seems there is not a breed of goats without horns. Being without horns is refered to as "polled" and is considered a genetic defect. It can appear in any breed. Yes, there is no breed without horns. Polled is a recessive gene and 2 polled animals should only be used for breeding if the owner is ready to accept a possibly heartbreaking mutation. It is called hermaphrodism. Rare, but possible.
It's a part of the breed. A longhorn wouldn't be a longhorn without the horns.
This is a breed characteristic, they are actually sheep and are called Jacob sheep.
No domesticated goats do not lose their horns. Some farmers disbud their goats when they are little kids so that the horns do not grow. There are also some goats that are born hornless due to a poll gene.
It depends on the breed standards for your country, most dairy and miniature breeds are dehorned but meat and fibre breeds are left with their horns. Any animal that you are showing that has horns needs to be well trained so that it doesn't hurt anyone with its horns.
Their butts are so big that they actually balance themselves.
sometimes it depends on the breed
This is just a breed characteristic.

ANSWER Why do you have freckles? Why do you have brown hair? All goats don't have beards, just like all goats don't have horns. GENETICS

Correct. "Polled" is the term given to cattle and goats that never grow horns. For example, Red Polls and Angus are cattle breeds that are naturally polled. Appenzells are a naturally polled breed of goats.
Yes. The does with horns will be dominant over the does that are polled, but problems between the two should be minimal to non-existent as long as there is enough fodder to go around for both groups.
No. goats are a different specie's.
Some goats use they're horns for sexual intercourse with other female goats, believe it or not this is 100% and COMPLETELY TRUE!

La Manchas like all goats can have horns or be naturally hornless.La Manchas do have horns. Dairy goats are often dehorned because stupid humans prefer to mutilate animals rather than learn to live w/them; in fact, shows require dairy goats be dehorned whereas meat goats do not. La Mancha bucks have beautiful circling horns, the does' horns are upright like Alpines'. Horns for goats are like panting for dogs, they help regulate the body temperature. Horns also provide protection against predators.
