Explanation:
Explication du TERMIUM:

Question délicate : existe-t-il des élevages ou l'on puisse se procurer un cochon domestique? Hormi le fait qu'un cochon n'est pas aussi facile a vivre qu'un chien ou un chat (prévoir pas mal d'espace et de dégats en perspective) le phénomène reste assez peu développé en France (outre atlantique les «Potbellied Pig» sont choses un peu plus fréquentes[...]

The potbellied pig (also called Vietnamese Potbellied pig or Chinese Potbellied Pig) is one of numerous breeds of "miniature" pigs. The breed originated in Southeast Asia and they were first imported into the United States in 1985, bred and sold as pets. They are typically small, short legged pigs with erect ears and straight tails with tasseled ends. They have a pronounced "potbelly" and a slightly swayed back. They can range in weight from 40-50 pounds to well over 200 pounds at maturity. They have short, stiff bristles for hair grow, longer coats in the fall and shed (blow) their coats in the summer. The predominant color is black, but crossbreeding with other miniature pig breeds has resulted in white pigs as well as various other black and white and even gray combinations.
