Pet NIgerian Dwarf Goat | 2022

We are Susan and Jeff and we met Boots, a Nigerian Dwarf Goat when he was one day old. He was born on February 25, 2022 and is one of four buckings. He looks identical to his mother. We went to visit him daily until he would take a bottle from us. He came home with us when he was ten days old.
This video is a combination of photos and video of our first year with Boots.

I watch several goat channels but have not seen where you can have a goat inside. Boots is adorable ❤️ thank you for showing how fun goats are.i will watch you again ❤️🥰👍

[@highfiveadventures]

Thank you for watching and commenting we love to hear from our viewers. Boots is a all day everyday entertainment so there are many more videos coming 💯🥰🐐

Although i love the taste of goat meat, im so glad this cutie will get to live out its life! I dont see eating meat as cruel, more of a necessity and i appreciate all our animal friend's sacrifices.

Hi, I met Boots today at superstore. My first time to meet a goat. Amazing how smart he is and the tricks he has learned. Thanks for letting me pet him.

[@highfiveadventures]

Our pleasure!

[@kathyswift7500]

Just met Boots today at Henderson Lake. He was so sweet and gentle with my 5-year-old. ❤

[@highfiveadventures]

So glad you got to meet him too.He loves people especially kids 👏

[@b.j.7837]

Ohhh, he’s adorable! 🥰 What a fun, little buddy to have. 😀

[@nonishearer4126]

My family used to have atiny guy like Boots that we loved so much. He followed my husband around like a puppy. I'll probably never forget him. Thanks for sharing him with us.

[@highfiveadventures]

Glad you enjoyed the video 🥰🐐

[@benbrown411]

Love it!!! I just bought a herd of Nigerian Dwarfs to live on my homestead. I learned a lot about this breed watching your baby grow up! Thanks for documenting your experience and sharing!

[@highfiveadventures]

I so glad you were able to take away something helpful . Boots is still teaching us a new side of his wonderful character 🥰🐐

[@languageofhorses5324]

This was so neat. I'm thinking about getting goats and I found your channel while researching.🙂👍

[@highfiveadventures]

KZbin is a great place for research. It’s where we started and then found a breeder a couple of miles down the road. Best decision ever❤🐐

[@user-jp8ox9xi2j]

Such an amazing beautiful boy would love to cuddle with him.

[@highfiveadventures]

Only Mama Jeff gets cuddles 🥰

Great minds think alike 😊

[@pairbakumari6872]

Thanks. We’ve started to work on the video for 2023. He’s grown but still has his cuteness. 😂😊❤

[@PaulaGarcia-yi8ir]

Thanks for sharing! He's adorable! I'm getting 3 in a few weeks and we are first time Nigerian goats/any goats...so it was fun to see this video!

[@nolliesteers3083]

I found your channel today. I really enjoyed watching it. I am amazed. I never thought a goat could be trained and live inside a home just like any other pet.

[@highfiveadventures]

I’m glad you enjoyed our channel. Boots is extremely intelligent and I think because he is only around us he thrives on learning and the attention

[@daveOnYouTube]

The moment I saw this, I had to watch it. It's obvious how much you care for and love Boots, from all of the interaction with him, teaching him tricks, and challenging him to do new things (like try stepping into water). Some of my favorite moments was watching him drink his last bottle, the new trick in 60 seconds, watching him climb trees fearlessly, his curiosity when seeing deer, and also visiting the seniors. All precious. So, is Boots fully grown? I'm not sure how long it takes for Nigerian Dwarf goats to mature.

[@highfiveadventures]

We’re glad you are enjoying Boots adventures. He has been the same weight and height for the last 2 months so has he stopped growing? Or is he just in maintenance because of the cold winter temperatures? Not sure .

[@deborahhollingsworth9691]

I just love Boots!!! hi Boots.

[@deborahhollingsworth9691]

They are just adorable, I'm going to get one soon!!!!

[@highfiveadventures]

How wonderful. They will give you much joy.

[@cjjones695]

I absolutely love this video! Y'all have done such a great job with her/him. I want 2 girls so they can play with each other.

[@highfiveadventures]

Thank you. You will have so much fun.

[@sherrylaackmann3864]

So sweet 🎉

[@kikinnit]

How cute is that! Doesn’t he get lonely tho without his own kind hanging around?

[@highfiveadventures]

We are his herd. He loves being around people. It’s all he really knows. He no longer fits in with other goats. I’m sure he thinks Susan is a goat the way they play together. 😅

[@orionsbelt7963]

Hello Boots, we just saw a segment on the news about you. You are so cute!! Howdy from Edmonton

[@highfiveadventures]

Wow, Boots says hi. Great to hear from Edmonton.

[@roxyjohnson5112]

Boots is adorable and he seems fine without another goat with him. How was house training?

[@highfiveadventures]

He potty trained very well. He rings a bell at the door when he needs to go out.

[@sherrylaackmann3864]

How could we meet Boots??

[@highfiveadventures]

You must be from Lethbridge. Over the winter months we regularly go for walks around Henderson Lake but at random times. Usually early afternoon.

[@reuselisabeth9322]

Nun ist er ein Jahr alt und sehr aktiv. What is his name. And can He sleep always in the house. Sorry my englisch is not very good. I am from german. Have a nice day.

[@highfiveadventures]

His name is Boots. He sleeps in a crate/kennel in the house. He has the same crate in our car that he travels in on road trips. He loves to play, be active, learn new tricks and he also likes to lay in the sun or on Jeff’s lap. He has bursts of energy like a child. 😅

[@highfiveadventures]

Susan is born in Canada but her parents are from Switzerland, Swiss German, so she can read some German.

[@reuselisabeth9322]

@@highfiveadventures Ach wie schön. Da kann man sehen wie klein die Welt ist. Ich bin von Österreich und habe hier nach Ffm. ĝeheiratet. Byby

[@Trollsonn]

Is potty training along with regular training a goat similar to dog training with the 4 quadrants of conditioning?

[@highfiveadventures]

No clue. We give a name to a behaviour and reward him.

[@Trollsonn]

This video is by Nate Schoemer, a professional dog trainer and he explains the best most thorough way to train a dog backed up by scientific research from Russia by Ivan pavlov. If this can be applied to your goat, I might be tempted to get a dwarf breed type of goat too to be honest lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/joK1mJafZp2nrLs@@highfiveadventures

[@vickiel1284]

How did your human children take the news you had adopted a newborn and named him Boots?

[@highfiveadventures]

Our children are all grown. 😂 Yes, having Boots is certainly a commitment that we are enjoying. Unlike a dog, you can’t leave him alone. Goats are social (herd) animals and need companionship.
