sadly most people don't realise that micro pigs can end up the same size as a Vietnamese pot bellied pig.

They are not a specific miniature pig.  The have and are still being bred from the smallest pigs in the litter and so generation after generation they will tend to get smaller.

Possibly (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2179951/Micro-pig-grows-25-stone-takes-owners-home.html) ;)
