We have been loving, breeding & training  Miniature Pigs for over 10 years..!  

The reason we have built this web-site, is so pet pig owners have the information needed for having a pet miniature pig in Australia...!  
                              
 We also give support   

For all our miniature piglets that are sold

As we want the best for our mini-pigs and your pet...!

When breeding animals there needs to be breeding records kept, have a breeding standard and program to follow. Breeding animals is not just a matter of putting 2 animals together or for the fun of it, breeding animals should only be for the  improvement of that breed of animal. There is a copy of our standards that we follow at- Standards

Our first breeding stock was brought in southern NSW, 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 and try to grab them. 

They finally both walked out of the pen very happy with themselves 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 on the drive home that we decided that any miniature piglets that we bred would be handled and

a lot of improvement was need before being sold

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 our breeding program if we could of purchased a potbelly pig…

But pigs of any breed are not allowed to be imported into Australia, so we did a study on pigs in Australia and we found pigs here with similar genetics as the smaller pigs overseas 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 did make the mistake of purchasing a boar (male) from another breeder to bring in new blood lines, we were

 told that he was 4 years old so we thought that he was safe to use with out breeding sows, but he was really only 

 10 months old and not from the blood lines that we were told.

 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 individual identification for all of our breeding stock and the miniature piglets

 that are sold as pets..

 Our Breeding Stock are also Family Pets, they come to their Names, sit for an ice block or a pat, lay down for a 

 belly  rub and we also keep miniature pigs in our house yard.

 

 Our Mini-Pigs Graze on Grass all day...!

 They also have natural cracked grain for dinner and they have a treats of fruit and veggies.

 So they are very well fed, according to their size...

 

 We also Encourage You to Visit our Farm: to see how small our miniature pigs are...

 we have miniature pigs from piglets to 8 years of age, so you can see the different generations of our breeding  

 program. * You just need to phone - 02 65506441 and let us know when you would like to visit.
