I just wanted to be the first to post here. I have seen them on TV and in zoos, and I will be interested in reading posts about them. I heard pot bellies make very good pets.

I read that they're smarter than dogs, and rank something like 3 on the intelligence level thingy, humans are first, chimps are 2nd, and pot bellied pigs rank third- more intelligent than dogs, and then dogs rank a little lower. From what I've read, its like having a two year old around, they're extremely curious. And you know what I found odd? That theres tons and tons of PBP adoption centers, how sad is that??

I don't think Pott Bellied Pigs are 3rd, as Dolphins are supposd to be smarter. The way I understood it was that it went Humans, Chimps, Dolphins, Dogs...but Pot Bellied Pigs may just be in there between Dolphins and Dogs. Haven't heard a lot about their intelligence.

my dad's cousin has 5 pbp's, they are very sweet, and really just like big dogs.. The 2 young ones live in the house, they are very clean, but a bit clumsy.
I can try find out info from him if anybody has questions on their pigs.

And they are incredibly clever. I'v seen them on tv doing tricks like dogs.. his pigs have never really been trained to do anything though
