Corpo e estrutura

KuneKune is a large pig with horse background whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, moderate trainability, and a grooming load of 2/5.

The KuneKune is strongly associated with New Zealand and small grazing pig traditions. Its calmer reputation still depends on space, social management, body condition, and rooting-compatible routines. In practice, that background helps owners connect origin with movement, handling, enrichment, and realistic training expectations.
