3) Vietnamese potbellied

- the breed as its name come from Vietnam.
- weigh about 50 kg (110 pound)
- height to shoulders reach about 41 cm (16 inches).
- the color is uniformly black


Fig 01- A pig with triplets


4) Teacup pigs

- quite small, about 41 kg (90 pound) weight size
- their life span could reach 25 years old.
- since longer life span, this small pig could be a long term pet compared to cats and dogs.


From 4 breeds, I do not know which one is good for indoor, but some people said that Vietnamese potbellied and teacup pigs are the best choice for pets.


Fig 02- A cup, just for illustration


Fig 03- For illustration only.


It is because the Vietnamese potbellied and teacup pigs have distinguish characters such as:

- gentle and sweet to human
- intelligent, can be trained like many cats and dogs
- companionable, walk with human on a leash.


Pig life spans is in the range between 12 to 20 years, but pet pigs may reach up to longer life span. 


What do you think about pig as a pet?

  4. I think a pig would be a pretty good pet. Can they be litter trained like a cat? I also like the idea of taking my pig for a walk.

  5. Are you getting one? The ones I have been around are those you take to market. Usually, it was the runts we would nurse back to health. I really enjoyed having them around. Later, I showed hogs and I would have to walk the hogs daily since they were judged mainly for muscle and especially, the hams. But I hated to sell them. One champaign was female and we bred her hoping to sell the pigs. She only had 3 and at that time her uterus fell out so we couldn't breed her anymore. Still, we kept her around because she was practically a pet even if she wasn't indoors. Her pen was practically out the back door. But I have always enjoyed pigs and I would like to own one. Although, the lady I know who had one..her's was rather destructive so you would really have to closely train them.
