What am I???

Guess I was tired, I didn't notice her face either. I have dialup not sure I saw the 3rd pic. Hope her little ones don't inherit it. My avatar goat S'more is a mininubian (nubian/nigi) She looks just like Roll's doe Dolly except her "marshmallow" is bigger on her side hence the name S'More lol.

I saw two of her babies and they had a normal face. Her teeth still appear to be properly aligned. Although, I will look at her mouth again...it is difficult to look inside there. I planned on milking her, yes, and never thought of a genetic defect going on. She is about 4 years old and has had many babies that came out normal according to the person I got her from.

Wow, her teats are huge! I didn't realize they were normally that large. I guess when I compare my goats to hers, my goats are itty bitty. Must be super easy milking Smore's. She is cute :)

I was told she was bred to a pygmy (He was brown with black strip down his back and black on his legs). I always thought that pygmy goats were black with white going through them, short and very stocky. I'm confused!!
Here are some examples of pygmy coloration It sounds like she could be bred to a pygmy. But without seeing pics of him it's impossible to be sure. Yes, size plays a big factor there too.

Now as to what SHE is...I think the others who have posted have given you some good feedback there.
 
She is really cute! I think she looks like a cross between a nubian and boar goat. There really common around my area and she looks a lot like one of them. :)

Thanks for the link to the pygmy's. They are super cute :)
After seeing that I can say that the buck she was bred to was in fact, not a pygmy. The buck was at least a couple of inches taller than mine.

I think that I have received some pretty good feedback here.

Thanks again!
 
Thanks everyone for all of your feedback. I certainly appreciate it!!

Just can't wait to see what the baby looks like, I'm excited :)
 
S'more is a bit overly endowed in that area! She is a super easy milker tho. 10 minutes start to finish. She is milking about a gallon a day currently and that picture is pretty recent.Her milk is very sweet and she is my choice for milk for ice cream, has a nice cream layer quickly. She is actually my favorite goat. I will be awaiting news of the little one(s) arrival.
