He was the lovable -- but somewhat odd -- pet on the hit television series Green Acres. Yes, Arnold Ziffel was a pig! And although the idea of a pig as a house pet seemed bi- zarre at the time, the four- legged "oinkers" are making a big comeback. Miniature pigs are all the rage now, and are quickly breaking ground in popularity with dogs and cats as house pets. Former Port Perry resident, Linda Broere, told the Star that she always wanted miniature pigs. After extensive searching, she and her husband Rick got in touch with an experimental labratory that was willing to part with a pair of Yucatan miniatures. The Broeres keep the pigs in a hobby barn on their Brock Township residence and allow the them to live naturally -- in PART every sense of the word. The end result -- about three litters a year, and the Broeres have no trouble getting rid of them. ive pet buyers have travelled from as far away as Orangeville and Niagara Falls to purchase a miniature pig from the Broeres. Sowhatis the attraction? According to Linda, minia- ture pigs are small, cute and cuddly -- just like any other pet. "The ones that are handled a lot become very affectionate," Linda said. And the big selling point is that the miniature pigs are very house-trainable. "They always go in the same spot," she added. The Broeres sell the minia- ture pigs for $75 each. e don't want to give them away, because if it doesn't work out we don't Wanted le eating them," she said. "But we didn't want to make it so expensive ICIPACTION CHALLENGE ACTIVITIES nesday, May 30th, 1990 that people could not afford it." The couple also owns a Viet- namese miniature pig. The Vietnamese type is considera- bly more expensive. Although the couple do not have any of that type for sale, they can di- rect perspective buyers to the right sources, Linda said.
