Rex piggies at Piggyfriends

We have been trawling the archives for pigtures of our Rex piggies past and present and would like to present a selection. Our Slave takes hundreds of pigtures and it has been a mammoth task to pick just a few of our friends.

Here are brothers Raffles and Rolo. When he got older Raffles' hair grew a bit longer so there may have been some Texel in their ancestry.
Next is our Daisy, who was a typical Rex and grew to be a large lady and was President of the LAPS club on the GPDD ( Large Ample Piggies Society ). She weighed over 3lbs in her prime. She also had a crest so qualifies in both sections.


Then we have Mayflower, one of four sisters born to rescued Ginger but the only one to have a Rex coat.





Here are sisters Crystal and Toffee.


And Polo ( Agent Minty ) demonstrating his allegiance to Slave's flag on St. Patrick's Day.
We can't leave out our dear Roscoe, Daisy's brother. Here he is sharing his 5th. birthday feast on the lawn with his best friend, Shadow.
And lastly, our two fat ladies, Agents 88, Sally and Susie, who are sisters.


These are not the only Rexes who have found their way to Piggyfriends but we don't want to monopolise the blog. Now, dear readers, please send us your pigtures of your Rex or US Teddy piggies. We want to see them all.

    What a gallery of beauties, and such excellent pigtures!

    Looking at these, I now realize that my late great piggie Doris must have been a rex. Rexes are not common where I live, and I'd never seen that sort of coat before --- I used to call her my woolly bear piggie.

    1. Hi Pat,
      Do you have a pigture of her? We would love to have her in the collection ;)

    Thank you for the kind comments too.
