This message is from: justus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mark, Yes, I noticed the championships, too bad he was sold, :(, but I am sure he will be treated very well. I will have to get my piggies in the savings back working overtime this year. Please keep me on your "inquiry" list and send photo's when the new one arrives. I will be very interested in seeing the little cutie. Thank you also for all the info, I am glad they do fine with the other breeds and full sized stalls. Enjoy this afternoon and lovely sunset. lyn
