What do you think she is?

Below is a picture of a doeling that I recently acquired. She is smaller than my pygmy doe at nearly 9 months old. She is the same build as my full sized Nigerian doe and just slightly smaller. No "blockliness" like my pygmy. What do you think she is? [IMG]What do you think she is? - Goats[/IMG]

Well that is what I thought, but I had her at a Nigerian breeders house and she thought that her coloring was "off" to be a Nigerian. Seems like since she is smaller than my Nigerian and is built like my Nigerian, it is unlikely that she has anything else in her. At almost 9 months old, she really should be close to (if not already at) her full grown size.

I have one that looks exactly the same as that, except she has a white spot on her side.

Mine is mostly pygmy blood with probably some nigerian mixed in.
