1. Vietnamese Potbellied Pig – This little pig is probably the most popular breed today. They have attractive shapes and tame personalities. Their exaggerated backs and big bellies (a sign of overfeeding in other animals) are perfectly normal and healthy. They have an average height of about 35 cm and an average weight of about 45 pounds.
2. Juliani pigs (painted piglets) - these little guys are really small, with an average height of 25-40 cm and a weight of 13.5-45 catties. Like pot-bellied pigs, they are docile and like to play with toys.
3. African pygmy or guinea pig – the real little pig. These piglets weigh about 18-36 pounds and have an average height of 35-56 cm. They are active, alert and intelligent. Compared to pot-bellied pigs, African pygmy pigs have a straight back. They like to be close to people they like.
4. Yucatan (Mexican Hairless) Pigs - These piglets can be small or not. Larger breeds can grow to over 180 pounds, while small ones only average 45-90 pounds. They have an average height of 40-61 cm.
5. Ossaba Island Pigs - The average height is 35-50 cm and the weight is 22.5-81 catties. They have a fantastic temperament, can get along well with people and are very intelligent. The piglets can live up to 25 years, so they can be raised from the time their children are very young until they graduate from college.
6. Teacup Pig - A "teacup pig" is a miniature pig, a cross between a Tamworth pig and a Gloucestershire pig, and the piglet is only the size of a teacup. This miniature 'teacup pig' has taken the UK by storm and has become a new favorite among animal lovers.
