What kind of female goats do you have?
I promise you there isn't another Pygmy he could not breed.
Nigerian Dwarf either
You said he was the runt of triplets and only a year old that probably explains why he is smaller
He will continue to grow

And, unless you are having a fecal run after worming, there's no way to be sure he isn't still carrying parasites...

x2 No way to know if he has them or if he does, what kind. Without it, it is basically hunting in a dark woods wearing a blind fold. You might get lucky and hit the mark (though you won't know it), but you will waste money on ammo, might cause harm, and may hit nothing at all and the mark lives on.

Definitely a Pygmy. Looks just like my wether, Izzy. He is King of the hay feeder. He doesn't have bloat, just looks very prego after eating his hay. lol He is 3yrs.

There is not such thing as a dwarf pygmy so I would guess they meant she is a cross between a Pygmy and a Nigerian Dwarf (two separate breeds---Pygmy goats are a meat breed and Nigerians are a dairy breed). Given her size, shape of her head and horns, and the coat coloring, that makes sense.
