Description

Kunekunes (pronounced “cooney cooney”) are a small breed of domesticated pig. In fact, they are smaller and fatter than most domesticated pigs (hence their name). They have round bellies, stubby legs, and short snouts. Most also have one or more chin tassels, called “piri piri,” which are a distinctive trait of the breed. Kunekune coats vary in color and pattern, ranging from speckled or blotchy to solid hues of brown, black, white, tan and gold. Coat texture may vary as well, from short and silky to coarse and curly.

“They are an example of that true saying, The dog has gone back to the food it had put out, and the pig which had been washed to its rolling in the dirty earth.” – 2 Peter 2:22
