I just read this and a alpine buck and pygmy doe is a recipe for disaster...from the looks of the pictures it dont look like she is PG but if she isnt that far along its really hard to tell. I personally would go to the vet and get some lute and give it to her just to be safe. How old was the buckling before you wethered him as they are fertile at 8 wks, and can get the job done. This type of breeding would be hard on her as the babies would be too big for her to have. Or call the vet to see if you can have her sonagramed...That way you would know for sure. This is why I dont run my babies all together unless the males are wethered. Good luck and hopefully she isnt bred.

Yeah, like Chaty said, the pooch test isn't terribly accurate...so you aren't in the clear yet. I think it was recommended to you to lute her in your original post about the two being together so long.
