Pygmy goats can make fine pets, but they are going to require special attention and care. They will get along with your pet dog just fine usually.
My friend had one that used to follow the kids on their pony right along with the dog, and when the kids were in school, the dog and the goat were always together.
Goats LOVE to play, and they can and do jump n about everything. They will happily jump up on the family car, bounce over the hood, and jump off the trunk, then run around and do it all over again.
They are browsers,like a deer, so they prefer tree leaves to grass, and they will totally wipe out fruit trees, bushes, roses, lilacs, and most of the flowers in your yard, so you can't just make a backyard pet of one if you have any bushes or flowers out there.
