I knew about Kune Kune pigs but these seem TINY!

Just wondered what people's thoughts on the matter were? I think they're cute, but I would have thought it would have been better to try and keep the Kune Kune pigs breeding, as they have only very small breeding programmes in the UK now.

Sorry, but cannot see point as pigs are not really pet animals, does Ross know about Blue Tounge do you think.

Oh dear the little girl within me says 'I want one to keep in my bedroom'! They are very cute, and apparently pigs are supposed to be more intelligent than some dogs. They can be house trained. But like you Oola, why are Kune kune pigs not popular enough to breed? I guess it is all to do with commercial profit rather than protecting a breed.
