KuneKune pigs are extremely intelligent, inquisitive, mischievous, sweet tempered, and playful. They are also somewhat stubborn, and easily bored. KuneKune pigs can be trained much like a dog; they can be taught to go the washroom outside, walk on a leash and to do simple tricks.
Raising for meat
The Kunekune is a versatile, unique breed. Originally, the people of New Zealand recognised the ability of these pigs to produce tremendous pork from very low inputs, hence why they domesticated them. The quality of the meat is excellent, and their ease of handling makes them ideal meat pigs for the smaller producer.
