Miniature pigs are stout, barrel-shaped animals with relatively large heads and short limbs.
Purebred Vietnamese potbellied pigs are usually all black with upright ears and a straight tail and grow to be 36-50 cm (14-20 in) tall at the shoulders. The adult size of other miniature pigs is much more variable.
Note: Adult size is not reached until 3-4 years of age
Sexual dimorphism
Both males and females have tusks (upper and lower canine teeth), however, the tusk root of the female closes at maturity and ceases to grow. In contrast, the male tusk retains an open root allowing continued growth, which is more rapid in intact boars than castrated males.
In addition, intact boars exhibit a few distinctly male characteristics, including: excessive facial hair, excessive hair on the distal limbs and tail, densely fibrous shoulder plates, a strong, offensive odor, and specific behavioral display
