Anyone know burt the goat's breed

[SilverBirds]

I looked 5hem up, all the pics I saw of pygmy goats had short stubby legs. His are long and thin.

Yes, Pygmys are very stubby. I'm thinking he is a dwarf, either Nigerian or as others said Nubian.

Maybe. I'll look those two up.

When you search Nigerian or Nubian, it shows pictures of either babies, or pygmies. Most of them aren't real Nigerians or Nubians.

Mine showed mostly floppy eared adults. With a few floppy eared babies.

I'm no expert, but what makes me think he's part Nubian is the long body and legs, the Roman-ish nose, and the mid-length ears. I had Nubians and I always thought they were prettier than most other breeds and Burt is very pretty.

Couldn't find many full-body photos, but here are some photos of my Nubians when they were probably 1-2 years old.

They look like their having fun. The one with the striped face at the top of the post looks very close to Bert's face.

I agree that he looks like a Nigerian Dwarf and Nubian mix, aka Mini Nubian. If you search Mini Nubian you'll get a lot of variety. As you get further into the generations (ie Mini Nubian breed to other Mini instead of Nigerian to Nubian), they start to look more like actual small Nubians with the very long ears and such.

Biggest giveaway of the Nigerian in him is his color. It's called buckskin and as far as I'm aware only Nigerians or ND mixes can come in that color.

Here is a picture of my Mini Nubian Maria, with her 5 kids (yes 5! ). Maria is a first generation Mini. Her dam was a pure Nubian and sire was a pure Nigerian. Maria's kids are sired by a pure Nigerian. One of the biggest differences you can see is Maria's slightly floppy ears and her kid's long airplane ears.

Cool. I don't know what generation he is.
