The Kunekune pig is one of the smallest of all domesticated pigs. The name Kunekune comes from a Maori word which means 'fat and round'. This is perfectly descriptive of the appearance of this unusual variety of pigs.

With the growing popularity of the Kunekune pigs as pets, a lot has been studied and researched about the breed. Although they are native to New Zealand, these pigs have become a global favorite among farm owners and pig lovers.

The personality of the Kunekune is responsible for the growing interest in these animals as pets. Kunekune pigs are more likely to come when called and are also affectionate towards their family in comparison to other breeds of pigs.

These smaller sized pigs are ideal for different environments. They are gentle beings that are used in several therapy programs and also in pet shows.
