UPPR™ ORIGINS, PHILOSOPHY and GOALS

UNITED PET PIG REGISTRY™ ORIGINS AND PHILOSOPHY

At the time the idea for the United Pet Pig Registry™ was formed, I was a judge for a breeder registry. Many of these wonderful pet pot belly pigs were not allowed to show in the same classes as those pot bellied pigs that had traceable lineage.

To me, pet pigs were the MOST important pigs out there because they were PETS. What could be more important than an animal that we take into our lives to become part of our family?

I felt that there should be an organization that recognized all pet pigs. This organization would offer registration and shows that awarded points and permanent championships. The only criteria would be  that they be a PET PIG and not used for reproduction.

I voiced this to a few people and "Presto", United Pet Pig Registry™ (UPPR™) was born in March of 1998. 

We wanted an organization that truly put the pet pigs and their welfare first and that could offer help and guidance to pet pig owners through all stages of the pets life. The criteria we wanted for UPPR was:

  • To be open to any pet pig
  • To have as few rules as possible
  • Be affordable for everyone
  • Must be non profit
  • Most of all we wanted it to be fun and educational for the pet owners.

We wanted a unique registry for a very unique animal and the people who love it. UPPR is the result of that thinking.

UNITED PET PIG REGISTRY™ GOALS

The purpose of the United Pet Pig Registry™ is to help the pet pig owner throughout the life of their companion pet.

We hope to accomplish this by helping the pet pig owner:

  • In knowing and understanding the nature of the pet pig
  • To provide information on training, health and proper nutrition and
  • By providing any other needed information to help the pet pig owner truly enjoy this unique and special pet.

As an organization formed for the PET PIG, we differ from the other national organizations as the Registry is for the pet pig who is NOT a breeding animal.
