It is a common breed found on the coast of west and central Africa. Found in all colors, the West African Dwarf is trypanotolerant, enabling it to be kept in fly-infested areas. The African Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf in the United States, along with the Dutch Dwarf and the Pygmy breed in Great Britain all originated from the West African Dwarf.
