Mini Nubian is a hybrid breed. They are the cross from Anglo Nubian & Nigerian Dwarf goats. That means they have different stages of looks depending on the generations and the percentages from Anglo Nubian and Nigerian Dwarf goats. The most significant parts of breed characters of Mini Nubians are their long ears and noses.
When we register Mini Nubians, we need to show the stages of their ears and noses.
The tricky thing is sometimes babies were born with dished nose or straight nose but while growing up, their noses also grow much more Roman shape. We found that the genetics works with this part. This is why I like to wait a little while before registering our baby goats.
In this page, I will also introduce how they developed over the years.

Roman Nose (Convex)
Straight Nose
We have to be careful with this section because even if they look straight right after birth, they develop their noses and quite often their noses become pretty nice roman noses. Nose development takes about 3 years like anything else.

Some stays as straight, too
Dished Nose (Concave)
We have to be careful with this section as well because even if they look a little dished right after birth, they develop their noses and quite often their noses become either straight noses or light roman noses. Nose development takes about 3 years like anything else.

This tiny runt came out as one of the quads and looked like she was a little deformed at birth. Within a month, she has transformed to be a nice looking Mini Nubian doeling. We will keep watching her development. We are holding off from registering her until she shows her better nose.
