In the late 1970&#8217;s it was thought that the breed had almost disappeared from existance, however the dedication and commitment of people such as John Simister and Michael Willis of\u00a0Christchurch\u00a0has ensured that the breed is alive and forever growing in popularity. \\<\/p>\n<p>From a pure-bred group of just 9 pigs in 1978 (6 sows and 3 boars) the Kunekune pigs number in the thousands and can now be found in a number of countries around the world. AGM June 2017 The Association holds it&#8217;s AGM annually around New Zealand in the wintertime, providing members with a venue to get together and talk about their unique &amp; wonderful pigs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UWQ7i_HgbHI&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] About the Association The New Zealand Kunekune Association was incorporated in 1988.
