Pygmy Goats are a breed of miniature domestic goat.
The pygmy goat is quite hardy, an asset in a wide variety of settings, and can adapt to virtually all climates
They originated in the Cameroon Valley of West Africa. They were imported into the United States from European zoos in the 1950s for use in zoos as well as research animals. They were eventually acquired by private breeders and quickly gained popularity as pets and exhibition animals due to their good-natured personalities, friendliness and hardy constitution. Today, they are a common sight as house pets and in petting zoos
Pygmy goats are often affectionate if they are treated with respect. They can also be trained, though it requires quite a bit of work.
