All over the World there
are different animals being bred down in size using the knowledge of
Genetics.
In Australia... there are Miniature Cattle,
Miniature Goats, Miniature Horses, Miniature Donkeys, Miniature
Ponies and Miniature Pigs.... They have all been Bred Down from
the Original Breed of Animal.
... The word Miniature is describing
something Smaller than the Original ...
With any Breed of Animal there needs to be Standards
followed during a Breeding Program
... There is a copy of our Standards that we follow on the Menu Above...
We have been Loving, Breeding &
Training Mini-Pigs

The reason we have built this Web-Site, is so all Pet Pig owners have

We also give Email & Phone .... Support

Our first Breeding Stock was brought in Southern N.S.W,
I
was totally shocked as we were told by the Breeder to catch which ever one
we wanted.
Bill and Allan had to run around a muddy pen and corner the 2 female
piglets that we wanted and
try and grab them.
They finally both walked out of the pen very
happy with them selves after getting
the 2 piglets.
I wish I had a camera with me... they were covered in mud
and were holding 2 squealing piglets.
It
was then that we decided that our miniature piglets would be handled and improved to
be Adopted as Pets...!
We were able to study the genetics of the Potbelly Pigs in America
and other types of small pigs all over the world.
It would have been a
lot easier for us if we could of purchased a potbelly pig…
But it is illegal to have potbelly pigs in Australia, so we did a study
on pigs in Australia and we found pigs here with similar genetics as the potbelly pig but they were still 65
- 70cm high.

Breeders owe it to their
Breeding Stock, to know about Breeding and Genetics.
You can't just put 2
animals together and hope for the best.
We don't only breed Miniature Pigs, we also study
their genetics and their behaviour.
All the information on this web-site is from our
years of learning all aspects of Miniature Pigs.
Oz-Minipigs Breeding
Stock is very Selective as we choose our mini-pigs for their
Temperament, Type, Size and their
Personality...
We have Never Interbred
any of our Breeding Stock and we keep our Breeding Records up to
date at all times and
we now have an Identification Tattoo for all of
our Breeding Stock and the mini-piglets that are Adopted as Pets..

They have natural Grain for Breakfast and
Dinner and they have a Treats of Fruit and Veggies.
So they are Very well Fed.... according to
