The studies that I've seen say that pigs have the intellectual capacity of a 3 year old, which is easy enough to look up. They are trainable (they can do tricks), they have fun (like most mammals), but they are not a cuddly as a dog. Dogs are better at reading human emotions and "connecting" with people. Pigs I've worked with are typically just looking for food, a scratching post, and taking naps.
- StavrosK 11y agoVery interesting, thank you!
- stinos 11y agobut they are not a cuddly most types are not, but if you ever have the chance try to get to know KuneKune pigs. They are rather small, hairy, friendly domesticated pigs originally from New Zealand. See [1] for some pictures. Anyway they are very cuddly, for example when I call ours (whistling works but they usually see/hear/smell me before I need to call them) they'll come running over. If you then start petting their back they lay themselves on their side because they want you to rub their belly. If you sit down they'll try to come sit on your lap.
