The Polled Dorset is an American breed of domestic sheep. It is a polled (hornless) variant of the British Dorset Horn. It was developed at the North Carolina State University Small Ruminant Unit in the 1950s after a genetic mutation led to the birth of a polled ram. After some years of breeding work, a true-breeding polled strain was established.
This breed was developed by the crossing of a Dorset Horn x Blackhead Persian around the 1930s.

The name 'Dorper' is a coupling of the first syllables of the parent breeds Dorset and Blackhead Persian.
