Does anyone have a Kune Kune pig ?

We've had them on the yard for about 6 months and they havent escaped once (they have a stable and a part of the yard to roam .

We have two yes

I have 2 of them. One eats and sleeps and of story. The other one has spent the last 6 months in a batlle of wills with my OH as she gets out constantly. He rebuilds fences, she digs them up again. She is TOO bright for her own good!
 
Kune Kune's are very naughty and very good at destroying lovely old turf looking for worms etc. Our pair destroyed an entire orchard - it looked as though it had been ploughed. They are very good at pig agility though and can do a whole course of jumps when encouraged by a bucket of food.

They are rather good at escaping if they think there is nicer food available somewhere else which might not necessarily be where their owners want them to be - they are partial to gardens with flowers in and vegetable gardens, feed rooms and even houses if the door is left open by mistake.

They will also eat/drink anything (like drinking buckets of booze although this was of their own doing not ours. They escaped into a marquee and drank the entire bucket of slops from emptied glasses and spent the rest of the day wobbling around the place and falling over into flower beds) so they are definately worth having about as mobile compost heaps.

Kune Kune's = Serious entertainment but can be frustrating at times.

This is no good, I have a Welsh D that will do all that for me.
 
i breed them and the only one thats ever escaped is Nigel, a castrated boar who can jump over a 2'6" electric fence. He is my boar - Elvis' best friend so I have had to add stockfencing all round just for Nigel!

I am waiting for one of my sows to farrow, she's been bagged up for ages and is the size of a house

I worked on a small yard for years that had 3 kune kunes, they were called Horace, Morris & Boris

They were great, seriously entertaining!
They did a good job of digging up the paddock they were in though, but it wasn't generally used for horse turnout. They had a bed made up in the corner of the field shelter and all 3 would snuggle up together in it

They were sods for stealing any food they could, and I used to have to wrestle the empty food bowls off of them before I could wash them out.
Morris was all pink and used to get sunburnt so we had to lather him in suncream in the summer - the stupid animal used to lay stretched out on the yard sunbathing in the heat of the day

He also used to roll over so you could scratch his tummy

They had huge personalities and were really intelligent.
The cutest thing about them was when they'd gone wandering into the top fields, you could stand on the yard, shake a scoop of food and yell "Boys!" and all 3 would come charging down the field as fast as their little legs would go, grunting and squeaking in excitement
