What kind of goat is she?

Weve had this goat about 5 months now and I still cant guess what she is. Shes about 7 months old now, and seemed really short but lately has went through a growth spurt. When I got her as a baby I thought she was a Nubian cross, but I just dont know now... shes much shorter then my Nubians her age.







Sorry the pics arents great, its hard to get her to go away good enough lol. Let me know what you think. [BTW its the white one I wanna know about]

Maybe a Nubian crossed with a Nigerian dwarf?

Judging solely on her ears she looks like a pygmy or nigerian dwarf/nubian. They have the length to be nubian, but they have the straight outwardness as a littler goat will have

Pygmies have straight out ears and horns that mostly sweep back. So, I'm going with Nubian/Nigerian cross.

I was looking at the ears as well.......most pygmy /nigerian crosses I've seen have what we call "airplane ears".....they stick out more at a sideways angle than droopey. Hers look more droopey than sticking out, but they do have an outward angle. Alpine goats have ears similar to pygmy, and large curved horns as well.
Maybe she is nubian X pygmy bred with another nubian.......she looks to have more nubie characteristics than just a straight one time cross.

But in the cuteness factor, she's a winner!

Thanks everyone. I was thinking Nubian with a bit of dwarf in her. They are pretty popular around here. There calling em mini nubians.



This little girl is a nubian with one fourth pygmy. I dont recall how old she was in this pic she was a little rescue... she looks but better now. Think she was like 2/3 months in this picture.
