Pet thorough bred Kunekune piglets
Our 5 much loved Kunekune piglets from the Champion Makino herd are now ready to be rehomed as pets. Born on 05.05.2021 they will be ready from the 30th June onwards.
We are looking for good homes where they will continue to receive love. Because they are very social, they will need to go as a pair or where there are already other Kunekunes- unless they come to live with you in your house with access to the outside. 🐖😃Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you don't mind muddy pig trotters in your house and needing to have your food out of reach at all times.
If you haven't got time for a dog but would love to have a pet, get Kunekunes!! All our ones have so many traits associated with dogs, they come up to greet you, letting you know they want a scratch, attention or some food and they are highly trainable because of being regarded more intelligent than dogs. They have a healthy dose of confidence though, like most pigs. Our piglets are used to chickens and a dog already.
Unlike other pigs, Kunekunes pigs eat grass happily for 90 % of their food. Most Kunekunes do not root with their snouts. But I couldn't guarantee that.
Are they miniature? No, not in what most people understand under it. They are still classed as miniature Kunekunes because the official definition is being shorter than 49 cm ( they are roughly becoming adult knee height).

$120 for one and $200 for a pair.
An ideal pair is a neutered boar piglet and female piglet because a boar and a sow get on extremely well usually. If you do want to breed at some stage, we can help you finding a suitable boar on loan.
Because we know getting new pets is always an unknown, we will take them back of it doesn't work out.
If you are interested, you can view the piglets in Ngaere with the parents.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
