The body measurements, (body weight, BWT; body length, BL; chest circumference, CC and height at wither, HW) and three carcass traits (empty carcass weight, ECW; warm carcass weight, HCW and cold carcass weight, CCW ) were obtained from thirty two West African Dwarf goat (male and female) of one year old. Canonical correaltion analysis were run to identify the association might exist between carcass traits and body measurements as two sets of variables in both male and female. Clear significant correlations were obtained between body weight ,body measurements and carcass traits (P<0.05) in both sexes. The first canonical correlation coefficeint beingsignificant were (0.997)(P<0.001) and (0.998)(P<0.001) for male and female WAD goat, respectively. Highest contribution of the explanatory capacity of the canonical variable for the body measurements traits and carcass traits was maintained by body weight, body length and chest circumference in both sexes. This provide support that selection for increasing better carcass in WAD goat has to depend on body weight and length and circumference of the chest.
