Importing a pig or 2 !!

[cornishcarlos]

So, unless someone knows of a breeder in Thailand, what is the go for importing a couple of pigs from overseas ? 

Has anyone bought livestock into the country before and know the procedure ?

 

I'm after Kunekune pigs.. They aren't a miniture pig but they are small breed and damn cute ????????

I reckon you might have some luck posting this in the pattaya forum

Have you thought of contacting a pig breeder in Thailand ? If they dont do the breed you want they may know who does.

Judging by the English on the website there is a "farang" connection there too which may help.

Can't you just buy her an airline ticket like everyone else?

 

By the way, I know there are some hounds out there, but do you really have to refer to them as pigs? Sure they are not pretty but seriously!

 

Good luck in your search. ????

Seriously, you want to raise pigs...?

 

Have you any experience?  Do you know the diseases, flies, costs, and smell that stays in the soil for years?

 

If you insist on doing this...keep the pig pen down-wind and as far away from peoples homes as possible.

 

One other thought...if they are outdoors...you could have a predator problem.

 

Other than the initial costs...you are good to go...enjoy!   ????

Yes

 

Yes 

 

Covered thanks

 

Do you know the type of pig I am referring to ? They will be for pets, not for meat. Not that it's your business but I grew up on a small farm in U.K and have a very large selection of birds here in Thailand. So yes I have experience and yes I know what I'm getting into.

Thanks for the links to importing animals though ????????????

I read through most of that site but must have missed the reference to the Kunekune pig ! Can you highlight where you saw mention of the Kunekune ?

What I said was, if they do not have the specific breed you want, as breeders, they may know who does have them, or where to try get what you want.
