Not me!  Harry saw me reading the article in the Guardian and now wants one for Christmas instead of a puppy!  Not that he's getting a puppy by the way or the DS he is hounding me for!!

What a waste of money for just a couple of thousand more she could have bought a proper full sized one from me. :pig: :pig:

 ;D Love the photo. Just out of interest has anyone seen a fully grown 'teacup" pig ? Only any runt I've ever hand reared has eventually grown to be the normal size for their breed.

What's going to happen to these teacups when they weigh 300 kgs and have rooted up the Croquet lawn  ::) :pig: 'Beckham' brand sausages - the sausage with kick ?  ;D

The british kunekune pig society has a statement on their website about the origin of "teacup" pigs and has anyone ever seen a fully grown one?

Personally, I think they're ugly. I'd have a Kune Kune any day!
And yes, I do have Kunes' and yes I breed them.

Apologies to those who do sell them at these overinflated prices! Not intended to offend!!

I like pigs  :pig: :pig: :pig:
I also like small cute things - puppies, kittens, babies  ;)
But a small, cute pig  ??? Yes, they're cute, but really ? What purpose do they really serve - other than being a way to show off  ;)
You would never eat them (would you?) and for that kind of money I'd prefer to have a really good dog (or LOTS of pigs  ;))

I personally wouldn't eat my Kunes Kunes. They are my babies! (and they are quite fatty!).
I bought them as pets as they have great characters and I can trust them with my kids and their friends (unless someone has food).

Just makes you wonder who'll end up with them in 3 years time.......some grateful petting zoo!!
