I have 2 does that are this same color and was told they were pygmy. I did not know that caramel was a pygmy color. I have both pygmy and Nigerian. I had a supposedly pygmy that was the color of the one in pic, who was bred to either a black w/ white belt FB Nigi or my choc. brown pygmy. Her baby turned out caramel w/ white belt so I assume that the nigi was the father due to the belting, but now Im not so sure. Does anyone have a list of colors for both breeds?

The AGS Nigerian Dwarf Goat color chart/patterns doesn't appear to be as complete as one I have seen earlier, but can't seem to locate that one. Maybe it's too early in the morning for my brain to have fully kicked in. :D

Sorry, I duplicated a post. From the photo, he does look like he has Nigerian mixed in there somewhere.

I have 2 due in March and 2 due before then. Unless they are just tricking me and they are not pregnant.

Yay! More March kiddings!

I was wondering if he could be Nigerian Dwarf x Pygmy or Nigerian Dwarf x Alpine or Pygmy x Alpine. What do you think?

I hope I have 4 or 5 due in March. But I would say at least 3 at this point. Our young, first fresheners we breed to kid in March. The rest of the herd is due in January.

I have 2 due the last week of January, and 3 due the first 2 weeks of March. My Nubian won't come into heat even though she has been in with the buck since September. Did the same thing last year and finally came in on December 18. Not so this year. Unless she snuck one in on me.
