Answer 8

Pigs are very intelligent, so I'm sure you could train one!  You can even train rabbits to use a litter box, and they aren't exactly the smartest creatures on the planet.

"Pigs are intelligent and have been placed fourth on the intelligence list (humans, primates, dolphins/whales, pigs)."

Answer 9

Apparently, yes.  They are very intelligent.  My Mother had a pig as a pet when she was a child.  His name was Calico.  He made such a wonderful pet that she still talks about him and she is now 90 years old.  I think you could say she was impressed with him!

Answer 10

Pigs are smart, but check with the town where you live to find out whether you can keep them as pets. Be sure that you meet some adult pot bellies, so you won't be overwhelmed by the size when your piglet grows up.
