    How do you tell the difference between Nigerian dwarf and Pygmy?

    Newbie mini goat owner here. I am trying to figure out if my goats are Nigerian dwarf or pygmy? They where sold as Nigerian. But upon seeing some Nigerians, mine seem very stocky. It doesn't really matter what they are, I just want to know what I am looking at.
