No, but there's some naughty hints about his brother Aberforth, owner of the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade, which is what those tags are referring to:
‘My own brother, Aberforth, was prosecuted for practising inappropriate charms on a goat.
The Hog’s Head bar comprised one small, dingy and very dirty room that smelled strongly of something that might have been goats.
‘Oh, Aberforth is just the tip of the dungheap,’ laughs Skeeter. ‘No, no, I’m talking about much worse than a brother with a fondness for fiddling about with goats,
But there were any number of things that would seem incredible about Dumbledore; that he had once received bottom marks in a Transfiguration test, for instance, or had taken up goat-charming like Aberforth ...
‘He were a headcase, that Aberforth,’ says Enid Smeek, whose family lived on the outskirts of Godric’s Hollow at that time. ‘Ran wild. ’Course, with his mum and dad gone you’d have felt sorry for him, only he kept chucking goat dung at my head.
And his Patronus (the Patronus spell summons a kind of spectral guardian animal and the form is unique to each wizard) is a goat.
