Hello and welcome to TAS from me in South Lanarkshire 
I'm a bit of a pig addict too  We've got Kunes, Large Blacks, Berkshires, OSB's and (at the moment) Tamworths.
You'll love your little Kune Kune - they are without doubt my favourite breed of pig 
Hope to hear lots more from you.

i'm in fishcross and the pigs are such fun well except the digging lol and sometimes they can squeal alittle.  i have neighbours in front of my land they say the pigs they can't hear hubby says the pigs are easier to keep than the ponies as to barbecue depending on the time it starts might not make it have  the farrier coming out today for shetlands should be fun they dislike getting their feet done its our 1st year of pigs and hens but soo far loving it except hubby keeps buying hens which turn out to have a cockerasl just gave 3 away and the silkie orpingtons might be cockerals lol just hoping they don't crow like barrry n co. jane
