NEW! RED and SPOTTED PIGLETS!

Why is a Valentine pig so unique?

Steve and Priscilla Valentine have always purchased their pigs from breeders in other states until a just few years ago. Then they noticed a decline in soundness, disposition, and straight legs. Breeders no longer were considering the pigs' health and future when selecting stock and many pigs were crossed with farm pigs.

That's when they considered breeding "Dumpling" and "Brutus". These two perky registered pigs with smooshed- in pug noses and classic potbellied faces were so good natured, Priscilla decided to raise just one litter and see if the personalities and conformation could be passed on.

That beautiful litter was so sweet and structurally correct from birth that Priscilla decided she wanted to improve the breed by raising her own stock. Since then, the offspring have gone on to become IPPR and NCOPP conformation champions. But most of all, this line makes good pets because the babies are so sweet and of course have the trademark smooshed-in face to die for!

(However, no breeder pigs are available, these precious babies are sold to people who will treat them as companions).

Priscilla is a full time professional trainer who loves doing what she does and she starts socializing the piglets the very day they are born. She gently shapes the pig's personality so it will potentially be secure and happy living as a pet. They are litter box trained, properly weaned, harness trained, vaccinated, and wormed. No one spends more time living and loving with their pigs than Priscilla!

If you buy a pig that is unvaccinated, improperly weaned, untreated for parasites , unsocialized, and comes from weak stock, both you and him may suffer. Because of the fragile nature of potbellies, Priscilla believes that it is imperative that they be professionally socialized and trained before a new owner takes them home. Otherwise, behavorial problems often erupt that could cost the pig his home.

Only two litters a year are usually available, and prospective owners are screened to make sure that a potbellied pig is the pet for them.

Caring for one can be a fifteen year responsibility, and pigs are special pets for special people, so we suggest that one educates themself as to size, personality traits, and habits of the breed.

We specialize in rare white pigs with silver saddles and unique black panda markings, but sometimes have all colors. The pigs are guaranteed against genetic defects for their entire life and come with our book and a potbelly harness.

Prices are $600 plus $300 shipping, total. PayPal is accepted.

No piglet has a personality as sweet as a Valentine pig, and they make excellent pet therapy pigs, because they love people! Eighty percent of our customers are people who already own a potbellied pig, and want the best this time around.
