In two years they will be 65 lbs and 14 inches tall.

Smarter than dogs, pigs are actually quite clean and are very affectionate. They are also clearly adorable.Pigs with confused cat

The breeder, Jane Croft, said they don’t need walks like dogs do, and won’t cause allergies like cats.

Although they are the latest trend, these pets are a commitment for life, as they live for 18 years.

“They really are fantastic fun, highly sociable and make amazing pets,” said Croft.

“They will sit on your lap while you watch TV so you can scratch their belly. They will even talk to you and have you giggling for hours.”

    You know Paris Hilton just got one, right? Does that mean they’re officially passe?

    Paris isn’t the only celeb getting these little cuties. These will be very popular the next couple of years. They are loving, cute and very smart.
