Hi
My name is Carole and currently am the proud owner of 4 pure bred Mangalitzas, here in France it has prooved very hard to obtain the paperwork necessary to register them as pedigrees. However the new arrivals from Austria will be just that pedigrees.
I started off with 3 females, Bessie the mother and 2 of her off spring Silvie and Piggy- Sue. I was fortunate to buy them from someone who has now become a good friend, known fondly as Hilarysmum- I am sure she will be able to add to this site. She has some history of them but they came originally from a zoo in France.
Oscar the male here is totally unrelated and it took us nearly 18 months to source him , he arrived at 8 weeks old but still raring to go.

So far we have sucessfully bred 10 babies and they are sold all over France and all including Kate and Donna k are as keen and dotty as I am about this breed.

Thanks for this dedicated site as I am sure it will be an insperation to all pig keepers not just us with Mangalitzas, this breed needs recognition.

Hi Carole,

Glad to see you here After I read your post I thought Dotty would be a great name for a pig!!! It's really lovely for this breed of pig to have it's own website, Well done Kate.
I'm really looking forward to watching the forum grow I hope Ocho is behaving herself, is she growing much? We are so looking forward to having another Manglitza around the place!
Donna

Hello all,
Sorry its taken so long to introduce myself but I think Carole my OH did it for me!!!

Iam so pleased to see so many people already interested in these fantasic pigs as we are, please all spread the word.

Will be spending the next few hours wading through all the topics.

THANKS to the admin for a great site for GREAT pigs
