Miniature pigs aren’t just a baby version of normal pigs, they are actually a separate breed of pigs that originates from the middle of the 20th century. It all started when Western civilisations imported Chinese pigs that were smaller in stature, to use them for medical research. It was easier to work with them because they weighed significantly less than the common pigs researchers were used to. The mini pigs were later bred with other common pigs and this gave the variety of mini pigs we’re having today.

The most common mini pigs today are the Pot-bellied pigs, Göttingen minipigs, Choctaw Hogs, and Kunekune and all of the cross-bred specimens that derive from them. They are mainly kept as pets and it is safe to say that they are some people’s favorites. The smallest breed of mini pig is the Göttingen mini pig.

Despite their aesthetics, mini pigs are known for their playful characters. They even appear as little children with their love for games. This footage in particular shows us a the cutest black mini pig playing a game of tag with her owner in the back of their truck. The little guy is set on chasing his owner all over the place trying to bite him. The owner is even jumping on top of the tires while trying to escape the piggie, but the little devil isn’t giving up. Who knew chasing a mini pig could be such a workout? That little guy packs an attitude!
