Congratulations to Penny The Pig! Penny has officially earned the title of World's Smallest Domestic Pig—and I am incredibly honored that she comes from my farm, AZ Micro Mini Pigs. Penny celebrated her 5th birthday in December 2018, and this achievement is particularly meaningful to me because it confirms that Miniature Pigs do exist and can be small and healthy.

Guinness World Records has extremely strict guidelines, and they will not award any animal a record if they are underfed in an attempt to achieve that record. Penny's body structure was evaluated by several vets, all of whom confirmed that she has a perfect body structure. Penny officially recorded her size at age 2, and since then, she has not experienced any growth changes in height or weight. My theory regarding bone closure at 24 months has been proven correct.

However, we had to wait until Penny was closer to 5 years old to confirm that she was a fully grown adult pig. Over the last 3 years, Penny was examined by multiple vets, and videos and photos of her from all angles were taken and documented in front of an audience. Every vet who saw her confirmed that her body structure is flawless. It is physically impossible for her to have been "starved" while maintaining such a perfect body shape.

Penny's record not only validates the existence of Miniature Pigs but also emphasizes the importance of proper care, nutrition, and responsible breeding practices.
