Hector the British Saddleback Pig is very friendly and very large. He looks a little unusual as one of his ears sticks up and the other flops down but he doesn't mind. Hector likes lying in the mud because he thinks that no-one can see him (but he forgets that he has a light pink stripe)! He is a very fat pig for two reasons; 1) he loves to eat the slops from the farmhouse rather than the healthy fruit and vegetables and 2) he spends too much time lying in the mud and not enough time walking around getting exercise.
The British Saddleback Pig is an amalgamation of two breeds of pig, the Wessex Saddleback from the New Forest and the Essex pig of East Anglia.
