    A face only a mother could love!!! I don't know much about them either. Are they allowed inside, or are they kept strictly outside of your home? I know they can get pretty big. I wonder how my dogs would react if they met one!

    How sweet they are. Your Herman reminds me of the little boar we had, "Pigaloo." What a nice personality most of these piggies have. :stew1:

    How cute Flower .My friends was big .He slept on his blanket on a beanbag chair.His name was Spanky
    He stayed in the house and never had any accidents on the floor.He went out on a leash just like a dog. He wore overalls when they went anywhere.

    Those 2 pigs live in the barn. But I do have one who lives in the house, Precious. She is totally house trained. I dont even need a leash with her. she will smack the door when she needs to go out.

    Pigs can live up to 20 yrs. Poppy prob weighs about 110 lbs. Herman-about 185. He is a big boy, but very sweet. People tend to be afraid of him b/c he has tusks.
