Gottingen Mini pigs are one of the smallest and most carefully bred miniature pig lines in the world, originally developed in Germany for medical research. A blend of Vietnamese, Minnesota miniature, and German Landrace genetics, these pigs are known for their compact size, uniform appearance, and docile temperament. They’ve since become popular as pets and in educational or therapy settings due to their intelligence and manageable nature.

With short legs, smooth coats, and a proportionate build, Gottingen Minis are gentle, curious, and easy to train. Though smaller than many other mini pigs, they still require responsible care, enrichment, and space. Their clean habits and social personalities make them well-suited for thoughtful pet owners and specialty environments.
