    No pig stays that small. Even though the smallest pot-bellied pig was around 60 pounds full-grown, most average 150 pounds. Ever read the royal dandie website? The words are all wrong and the paragraphs make no sense. I'm pretty sure its a big giant SCAM.

    Royal Dandies are a big scam! They get bigger than 20lbs! I checked out the website a couple years ago. Stay away! A pig in NYC is no life for a piggie! How about a Guinea Piggie?

    My family actually looked into getting a pot bellied pig instead of a dog when we moved into our house, but as it turns out the city did not allow swine of any kind, so we got a dog instead. Make sure to read all the fine print so you don't end up having to give away a new pet.

    I can't imagine that they would be legal considering the space that you will probably have and the space that they would require, alone!
