The Nigerian Dwarf goat is a miniature dairy goat breed of West African ancestry. Originally brought to the United States on ships as food for large cats such as lions, the survivors originally lived in zoos. Nigerian Dwarf goats are popular as hobby goats due to their easy maintenance and small stature.

Fully-grown animals range from 16-21 inches (40-56 cm) tall at the withers for does and 23.5 inches tall at the withers for bucks, and weigh 60-80 pounds (27-36 kg).

They come in many colors: white, black, red, cream and patterns such as buckskin (brown with a black cape over the head and neck along with other black markings) and chamoisee (similar to an Oberhasli goat) with or without white spots. Some have white “frosting” on the ears. Both the Nigerian Dwarf Goat association and the American Goat Association websites feature pages that describe color descriptions, disqualifying features and conformation. Although most are naturally horned, most breeders dehorn them at a young age (usually 2 weeks of age) for safety to the goat, his/her herd-mates, and human care-givers. Some Nigerian Dwarfs have blue eyes, which is a dominant trait in goats.
