This
is my pet Sinbad, he is a Pygora Goat - many people have never
seen a Pygora. But Sinbad is a special pet and companion most of all
because he is very friendly and loyal.
I am a person with a disability. Sinbad goes with me on walks and
carries a pack for me. I also clip him once a year and spin his very
soft Angora Mohair into yarn so I can make scarves and other handcrafted
items out of it. Sinbad lives on our farm with our other animals and he
gets along with them, too. He is just a sweetheart and my special
friend.
Pygora's are a wonderful breed of goat.When I decided to buy Sinbad I
wanted an Angora goat so, I could spin the mohair. I had goats years ago
and, I found that I personally liked the smaller breeds better. Well
after doing some research I found the Pygora goat, which is a registered
breed of goat. They are a cross between an Angora and a Pygmy goat. The
breed has the mohair like an Angora goat but, is smaller like a Pygmy
goat.
When I bought Sinbad I also bought another Whether Pygora goat named
Sampson at the same time. Goats are herd animals and it is best if they
have a friend to hang out with. Sampson is older then Sinbad so he is
the boss (even though Sinbad doesn't seem to rember that most of the
time). Since Sinbad was a baby when I got him he likes to go for walks
and play more then Sampson. They are both very gentle and friendly goats
and love to be petted. The more attention they can get the happier they
are. Sinbad loves to play "king of the hill 'with Sampson. He and
Sampson all so share the pasture with my Miniature horse named Tory.
