Does she look like a full blood Nigerian Dwarf?

I know these are sheep, but it's still the same principle... The middle pair of incisors is replaced first with permanent teeth and every year they lose another pair of incisors on the outside of the previous pair of incisors lost to replace.

Yearling. Notice how wide & tall the two middle teeth are.

1 & a half lol - notice how the second pair of incisors is only half way developed...there's one permanent and one baby.

'almost' 2 years. The baby tooth in the previous pic was lost and the permanent tooth is almost all the way in.

For some reason, I see some alpine in there somewhere. Very cute, regardless.

Ok...so I looked at her teeth and her two front ones are just growing in. From what I have read that means she is around 12 months old?

I would be happy with that too!

None of my Nigi does have horns so I don't know what they should look like, but she does look ND, so maybe just a bit of something else. I agree with everyone else, she sure is pretty.

I would like to have hornless goats but this is a compromise between me and my husband. He think goats should have horns. I have looked up nigerians with horns on google. SO HARD to find. Thank you for all the input. I am kinda convinced she is but until I breed her and see that udder compaired to my nig/pyg crosses I dont know. Being a new goat owner has been such a rewarding experience. We both cant wait to get home everyday to spend time with them. I already have my first doe in milk and she is already letting me feel around and milk her a bit but her two kids are taking most of her milk. I may separating them at night so I can milk her in the mornings. They are 3 1/2 weeks old and very plump little guys.

She reminds me of my mini-alpines (nigerian/alpine crossed to make this breed).
