Welcome to Canadian Mini Pigs! We enjoy acreage living on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. We keep busy with our active kids and a varied and fun selection of miniature pets! While miniature pigs are our focus, we also share our property with some of the finest Southdown Babydoll Sheep, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Miniature Donkeys, Holland Lop Rabbits, Netherland Rabbits, bantam chickens, Shetland Ponies, and some not-so-miniature pets like our dogs, turkeys, our geese, ducks.
We are proud and excited to be one of the first handful of APMA (American Mini Pig Association) approved breeder members in Canada, and the only AMPA approved breeders in the province of British Columbia! We breed some of the smallest breed of minis available; American Mini Pigs. Note this does not mean that we advertise them as micro, teacup, or tell you that they will remain the size of a cat! We are registered with the AMPA (American Mini Pig Registry) and the purebred Juliana's are JPAR Registered (Juliana Pig Association & Registry).
We have traveled extensively and spent a lot of time meeting with other AMPA breeders in our search to align ourselves with outstanding breeders that would help us acquire excellent breeding stock. We knew that first and foremost we wanted healthy pigs, we wanted documented and recorded generations on size, well socialized pigs, and confirmation that would reflect the ideal standard. When we first started out, our search took us south of the border where we connected with other breeders, some of them drawing us in by their extensive knowledge and experience breeding and raising quality piglets. We have acquired breeding stock so that the pigs produce the finest conformation and outstanding personalities. They have shipped their piglets all over the US, and even overseas! We are thrilled to offer their lines of beautiful piggies here in Canada! We have since acquired some wonderful breeding stock from a few of our trusted Canadian breeders who have allowed us to bring in some fun patterns such as piglets that have "chipmunk" stripes, very short snouts and short legged piggies.
