Since your buck was so young I would suspect that it took him a few months to figure it all out. Yes, they can breed a 8 weeks, but doesn't mean that they have the finesse to do so. If they were bred in June they wouldn't be showing yet so it is still really hard to say. On the mini I would start watching her udder since she has never freshened it should be fairly easy to see if it develops. I would do a pregnancy test to find out for sure. I use Bio-tracking for mine.

I can usually tell when a doe is in heat if they are not with the buck. They will stand at the fence and look in his direction and wag their tail...not so easy to tell when they are together.

As far as I can tell the Nigerian was bred in April...
Im suspecting the mini has dropped as her belly as went from firmly round to pear like (with the spine really thin and all the weight under her)...
