Juliana pigs are also referred to as "Painted Mini" or "Mixed Breed". Some debate they're not a real breed to begin with, but this claim is not true! Juliana pigs are 100% registered breed in the U.S. The Juliana pig is a cross mix between several different breeds of smaller sized pigs. This breed of miniature pigs trace their ancestry all the way back to Europe, where they selectively breed mini sized pigs to optimize their smaller size, temperament and intelligence. Over time Juliana pigs were imported to the U.S. and soon became popular as pets! Purebred Juliana piglets have very recognizable physical traits such as small to medium ears, short snout, hair, and tail. Juliana pigs have a variety of colorful spots and shades. They typically are a mix of colors (silver/white/black/pink). They have a very sweet gentle disposition and love to play! On average our Juliana pigs are between 10 to 16 inches tall and they typically weigh 20 to 40 lbs or less full grown. This is the size of a toy to medium sized dog (our teacup pigs will always fit on your lap). Also, the length of our Juliana pigs will be between 14 to 20 inches full grown.
