Vietnamese Pot-bellied pigs, a miniature breed of domestic pig, have made popular pets in the United States, beginning in the latter half of the 20th century.
These pot-bellied pigs were soon crossbred with a variety of other small breeds, such as the Göttingen minipig, with separate locations breeding different lineages.
These crossbred miniature pigs soon gained attention, even more so than the original Vietnamese Pot-bellied.
As a result of this, many pet pigs are now of unknown genetic descent.

Domestic pigs are highly intelligent, social creatures.
They are considered hypoallergenic, and are known to do quite well with people who have the usual animal allergies.
Since these animals are known to have a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years, they require a long-term commitment.
