The American Pygmy is an American breed of achondroplastic goat. It is small, compact and stockily built. Like the
Nigerian Dwarf, it derives from the West African Dwarf group of breeds of West Africa. Between 1930 and 1960, animals of this type were imported to the United States for use either as zoo animals or for
research; some were later kept and bred as companion animals and established as a breed in 1975.
Seven color variations are recognised in the breed standard: caramel with black markings, caramel with brown markings,
brown agouti, grey agouti, black agouti, black with white markings, and solid black.
