Dwopple is a Nigerian Dwarf wether - that is the term for a neutered male. Dwopple is a name from a book series (Redwall) that my sister and I read. He was born in January along with his sister, Song (she's in some of the photos). All of our kids this year were named after characters in those books - Song is short for Songbreeze.
Dwopple and Song were dam-raised (raised nursing their mother and not a bottle). Even though it is commonly believed that dam raising produces skittish, unfriendly kids, Dwop and Song are actually very friendly.
Dwopple is a rather stubborn and loving goat, taking after his sire on many accounts - including that of fence jumping. This dude is a master fence jumper! Oh well. He is much sillier and more fun-loving than Song, who is very prissy and delicate, just like their dam. I love him!
