| First a little history from Origin of the domestic pig : The domestic pig originates from the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa). Clear evidence was obtained for domestication to have occurred independently from wild boar subspecies in Europe and Asia. The time since divergence of the ancestral forms was estimated at approximately 500,000 years, well before domestication approximately 9,000 years ago. My experience with tame pigs : Pigs like to roll in mud, which has given them the reputation of being unclean animals. Nothing could be further from the truth ! They actually take a bath in the mud . If given the space for it, pigs will make a "WC" in the corner of their sty. Pigs are very intelligent, - they are actually more intelligent than dogs are ! And now to the models Please let me kick off this topic with pictures of the pigs from Bullyland [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The oldest models from the early 1980's, - except for the Mikro one to the front, left, which is from 1996. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]After that can some rather wiry-haired pigs [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Here is a mom and her piglets from a set of farm animals.

| Adorable piggies! Especially the potbellies. I only have a few Schleich pigs so far. I haven't seen the 2016 mini pig sets locally yet, but I will snatch those up when I do.

Thanks Susanne. Perhaps, but I don´t know. Is it in the catalog by Mr. Laue ? _________________ Yvette

| [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]OK, it's far from being the only pig I have at home (I have much more than that, actually), but this one is the only one I took a picture of: my Toy Major Sow.
