Potbellied Pig Parenting

By Nancy Shepherd

This 110-page indexed & bound manual is a comprehensive guide that promises to enhance the relationship between you and your pig.

Put Pig O’ My Heart experience to work for your Pigs!

Since the mid-1970’s, Nancy Shepherd has opened her heart and her home to pigs—big and small, young and old, trained and not-so-trained—because, quite simply, she cares about pigs. Her interest and devotion has led Nancy and her potbellied pigs to championships and has gained her national recognition for her quality breeding stock. But Nancy is just as interested in producing adorable pets that are happy and healthy and fun to be around. Since 1989 she has been specializing in potbellied pig breeding, behavior and training.
