Small White pig
The Small White or Small Yorkshire was a breed of domestic pig originating in the United Kingdom and which was common during the nineteenth century. It is now extinct, but its characteristics were used in producing the Middle White and other breeds.
==History and characteristics==
The Small White was developed in the early nineteenth century by cross-breeding the traditional Old Yorkshire, a large white pig, with imported Chinese pigs.〔(The Middle White ), British Pig Association, accessed 23-02-10〕 This created a small animal with a pure white ground colour, pricked ears, the short, wide head of the Chinese breeds and their characteristic short upturned snout.〔Spencer, S. ''Pigs: Breeds and Management'', Vinton, 1897, p.24〕 In common with the Chinese breeds, it reached maturity early and rapidly put on fat. The Small White was further refined and "improved" during the period by agriculturalists such as Henry Reynolds-Moreton, 2nd Earl of Ducie amongst others.
The Small White was always intended as a show pig rather than as a porker or bacon pig.〔(Middle Whites ), Eaves & Lewin, accessed 23-02-10〕 It was particularly popular with aristocratic and "hobby" breeders, as opposed to farmers or smallholders.
