Meet the Pigs
The Girls
Paradise Spot 61 (Porsche) - one of the two pigs that were bought for Robert as a birthday present and started off our venture into the world of pigs.
She has produced some lovely litters and is a great mum.
Loves to have her tummy rubbed and enjoys her food!
Paradise Spot 60 (Mercedes) - the other half of Robert's birthday present and sister to Porsche.
The Spot bloodline is very rare and in 2004 there were only two registered females.
Mercedes is definitely "The Boss" and keeps all the others in their place.
She is a lovely natured girl and a fantastic mother.
Clash Spot 7 (Lamborghini) - she was bred by us and is the first gilt that we kept for breeding.
She has now joined our breeding herd and is proving to be an excellent mother.
"Ghini" loves her grub and gets quite vocal at feed time.
Clash Spot 50 (Morgan) - another girl bred by us. She has now started producing litters herself and is a lovely natured girl. She also gets quite excited at feeding time.
Clash Spot 83 (Mazeratti) - one of our January gilts that did very well in the 09 show season. She has now joined the breeding herd and is expecting her first litter.
Clash Spot 82 (Maybach) - sister to Maz. May also did very well in the 09 showing season and is also expecting the patter of tiny trotters.
Clash Grand Duchess 36 (Lotus) - one of two gilts we have kept from a Grand Duchess sow that we brought in to introduce another blood line.
She and her sister Lexus have joined our breeding programme.
Clash Grand Duchess 35 (Lexus) - sister to Lotus.
The Boys
Clash Grand Duke 30 (McLaren) - "Mac" has now taken over as our senior boar after we sold Ferrari.
He is a big softy and loves to roll about in the biggest puddle of mud that he can find after a hard day at work.
Chapel Prefect 2 (Jensen). Jensen did exceedingly well in the 09 show ring, winning Reserve Male Champion at the Great Yorkshire and winning the Pig of the Year heat. He has started working and is producing some exceptional litters.
Twiglet
And last, but by no means least, we have Twiglet. He was very poorly when he was about 3 weeks old and we brought him into the house and hand reared him.
Our Collie, Jo, adopted him and they became inseperable with Twiglet often sharing the dog bed with her or, more often than not, claiming it for himself!
Needless to say, Twiglet is still with us and he is now Mac's best buddy and keeps him company when Mac is not working.
