Texas Tiny Pigs

I bought a pig from this breeder in 2012 and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Jacopo was a great addition to our family for the 3 years he was our pet. Taking care of him was a breeze, and anytime I had a question, Savannah was quick to respond and give me pertinent information. Following the instructions in regards to the guarantee was simple. Emailing attachments secured the guarantee, and unfortunately, we had to follow up with it. Jacopo had a congenital defect and passed away. Savannah answered my 2am phone call and was very understanding about the situation. Instructions were followed, and Savannah said that when I was ready, I could select another piglet of equal or lesser value.
My sister and another friend have purchased a piglet from TTP and are equally satisfied with their experiences. I look forward to adding another hooved member to the family, once my heart heals completely. They really do become a part of the family. I miss my sweet son-​shine, Jacopo, everyday.

After months of research we decided we were ready for a piglet. We found one on their website that we absolutely loved and we sent full payment via Paypal. For two days — nothing. Then I get an email stating that the pig had been sold the week prior (even though the website explicitly states that the website is updated immediately, and all «available piglets» ARE available). This was incredibly disappointing. I asked for a refund and Savannah responded that she had new piglets ready to ship in two weeks, so we opted to see photos of them. She sent a blurry photo of a group of piglets and promised better photos a week later, when they would be weaned. Three weeks later, still no photos, and Savannah doesn’t respond to messages for days. I’m eventually told that the babies aren’t ready to be weaned yet, and that there is no estimate on when they will be. No further photos are provided, and Savannah continues to ignore messages inquiring about them. We ask for a refund if they’re not ready by a certain date, and she does sent it on that date. A partial refund. When we ask her why, she says that $ 200 is a nonrefundable deposit. This isn’t anything we agreed to (we sent a FULL payment for a pig that wasn’t even available, and then transferred that payment to a pig that we never received photos of, and that wasn’t ready to go home anywhere NEAR the time she had said) and it was nothing she had mentioned in any of our correspondence. When I explained this and requested a complete refund, she again, ignored me. Luckily, Paypal disagrees, and I received my money back via their claims department.
I understand that mother nature cannot be controlled (Savannah actually offered to pull one of the babies early but that it would «void the health guarantee»…how horrifying!) but when you tell someone you’ll send them photos or check in on a certain date, it is the least you can do to shoot them a note. Taking someone’s money and ignoring them is an absurd way to do business.
This was a disappointing experience start to finish — why work with someone like that when you’re looking to add a member to your family? Following this experience, I spoke with several other breeders before committing to one, and every one of them displayed more courtesy, concern for their animals, and general customer service skills than this person. Do yourself a favor, and visit the mini pig breeders association website (
) or Juliana pigs registry (
) for lists of breeders that have met a series of standards, located all over the US. Texas Tiny Pigs is not listed on either site, which is not surprising given her business practices. We now have an absolutely healthy, happy, adorable baby Juliana pig, and our breeder was pleasant, helpful and honest every step of the way! Please beware — this is a dishonest breeder with a track record of poor business practices — just look at the other reviews and check her rating/​reviews on Better Business Bureau. I wish I had from the start!

I had begun this journey in deciding to purchase my pig from Texas Tiny Pigs, if had to do it again, I WOULD NOT. This began with me splitting my payment into 2 different methods, upon reaching out to them to make sure it was ok, I was instantly messaged back numerous times until payment went through. I thought ‘great, they’re on it.‘WRONG’ I then heard nothing at all from them concerning details as to how this process works and was never contacted back when I reached out. Thats a lot of money to pay to be ignored. I finally threatened them and only then was contacted back. Upon receiving my pig, there was NO VET RECORDS as to the deworming or anything about his neutering, the website states these things would accompany the pig. I’ve had him a week now and yesterday and today he seemed to be bloated and uncomfortable, I took him to the vet because TTP didn’t return my email or text message as also promised on their website. I did take the feeding schedule sent with my pig from TTP, the vet was shocked by the dietary layout. I had explained my experience with this entire debacle and the vet suggested I leave a review for people due to food recommendations sent with the pig, after everything that happened, I have obviously taken this advice. This vet has been in business for over 20 years and specializes in exotic and farm animals. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS. Let me finish by saying I am so completely in love with this little guy and will love him despite how big he gets because, I don’t trust that either.

I have heard horrible stories about Texas Tiny pigs since purchasing our micro mini 2.5yrs ago. They are wonderful pets but Texas Tiny Pigs is not upfront about the true size of their pigs. Ours is double the weight they projected and she has always been on a regimented diet. She 100% indoors and leads a very healthy lifestyle. We adore her for who she is but I would not recommend this company. They provide false advertisement about the size of the pigs they breed. They will always blame it on the client and when confronted about anything, they refuse to return emails or phone calls.

I have two pigs from Texas Tiny Pigs. They will be 4 years old in few months. I gave TTP one star because I think their information was misleading and as an other reviewer said they are not upfront about the true size of their pigs. They were supposed to be around 30 pounds and my smaller one is 84 pounds and the bigger around 150 (Vet said they are healthy). Since I got my pigs I saw in their website’s «size replacement guarantee“which I personally find pretty cruel. Before I got them I was not sure how big they were going to be, but fortunately, I have a house and was ready for them to get bigger and destroy my landscape (their favorite distraction :). You may get a smaller one but you should be ready for your pig to get bigger than you thought.
I love my pigs but If I had to do all of these again, I would try to adopt one from a sanctuary/​animal rescue. Too many have been abandoned or surrendered by their owners because of breeders who promise an unrealistic size. Please, do your homework. There is a ton of information online about potbelly pigs (found my so called «miniature pigs» to act the same as potbellies) They can be great pets if you have the time for them but on the other hand, they can be challenging, aggressive and destructive if they get bored.

After considerable research, we ordered our family’s mini Juliani pig from Texas Tiny Pigs. Within minutes of placing the order, I had a flight confirmation from Texas to New Hampshire. The transaction was very easy.
Our piglet arrived well-​socialized, happy, healthy, and potty-​trained. We have had her for four months, and she is really a joy to the family. The website is set up so we can see photos of the adult parents, to get a good estimate of final size, as well as to see the overall health of the animals, and the care that they are given.
I also appreciated that I could call when I had a concern about my piglet. She seemed very off one day, lethargic, and not responding properly. A quick phone call to TTP, and they knew instantly that she had been receiving too much protein in her diet, and the remedy was a bowl of oatmeal. She was back to normal within an hour. That responsiveness saved me a vet bill, and likely the vet wouldn’t have known what was wrong.
I can’t say enough good things about our pig, and I’ve recommended both pigs in general, as well as Texas Tiny Pigs to many people.
