We think he's a a Nigerian/Angora or Pygora... very thick haired!

He's Handsome! Congrats.

Thank you all!

By the way, he is roughly the same size as Momma & Maude... a little shorter, but only by an inch or two... and his barrel is much bigger. I will take pictures tomorrow of Falkor & Momma side by side for better size comparison.
He is much thicker in the leg bones also.

I'm a little confused by your post...

The seller listed him as Nigerian, which obviously he is not 100%.

Do you know for sure that there is Angora there?

I can believe that there is a pygmy influence in there in the build...although I'm not sure I see the ND influence.

ND, Pygora, Nigora, Pygmy...whatever doesn't really matter...He's lovely, just curious.

He's a cute boy!

She posted him as a Nigerian, because that is what she was told he is. Just like I was told that my 2yr (then)old does were pure nigerians.

I definitely see angora in his THICK coat... the area that I shaved on him yesterday evening looks wooly.. I will try to get a better pic of him up today, showing what I mean.
I could be wrong and that could just be Pygmy influence.... but

I'm not sure that I am sold on the angora either. I'm pretty sure he's not 100% nd, but, even with the hair, I don't think so. I had a Pygmy cross buck (no angora) who had hair just like this buck.
Anyway, you'll have to post pictures once you finish cleaning him up! I'm curious to see what his body looks like under all that fur!
