Hi everyone, I keep reading that a Nigerian Dwarf goat needs at least 130 sq feet of room outdoors. But, I am not finding anything that says how you calculate the space needed if you have more than one. If I have two goats in one pen, do I double the pen size and make it 260 square feet? Or...

So, I ordered two Maremma puppies from a working ranch and a guy who had been raising them for decades. Figuring that he was the expert I asked him to choose two pups that would best suit my needs. One of the pups seems to me to have good potential as a LGD, but her sister is extremely small...
