The American Pygmy is an American breed of achondroplastic (dwarf) 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.[3]: 355 [4]: 35 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.[3]: 355 [5]: 40
It may also be known as the Pygmy or African Pygmy. It is quite different and separate from the British Pygmy breed.
