4.0 out of 5 stars A must for the lover of miniatures pigs (or just cute pets), October 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pot-Bellied Pigs (Hardcover)

The printing is a bit of a disappointment, with a free use of bold underlined caps for no obvious reason. Looking beyond those, however, the book is chock ful of the most adorable pictures of miniature pigs (called by the pros 'Potbellied Pigs', and you can see why). Anybody on the look-out for a cuddly, intelligent pet need look no further! Puppy, eat your heart out - these micro swines will send you all rushing to the nearest pet shop. The text includes many sensible facts about keeping them (apeasing neighbours and municipalities, among other things), feeding them (preferably at the family table, it seems), and even breeding them. To be pigheaded here is a compliment, they appear to be at least as bright as dogs, and can do all sorts of tricks (when they care to). In all, the book is a bargain at the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pot-Bellied Pigs and Other....., August 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Pot-Bellied Pigs (Hardcover)

The strengths this book offers different from the other pig books is, a lot of registry information, also many varied photos, and the best boarding tips I've seen. The author has a knowledge of pigs from their US arrival in the 80's. Weaknesses are: the annoying print, the very small training section, and that some conformation ideas have changed, and also having the same girls repeatedly in the photos. Overall it added to my pigly knowledge though, which is what I'm after.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good starter book, but lacks depth for care, December 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pot-Bellied Pigs (Hardcover)

This book will provide some basic info for potential potbellied pig owners but is very general in most topics. Print style is annoying to the point that one would think the author needed to fill up more pages by enlarging the font.
