BCF Andrew 1 (Lancelot)

Lance is carrying a nice dense bone, depth and breadth to his frame, excellent head sporting large wattles, nice upturned snout and correct ears atop a broad head.  He himself is not a large boar but has thrown beautiful offspring with nice growth and size. 

BCF Boris 1 (Axel)

Axel has been retained in our foundation herd to bring his strengths of bone density and body frame. He is one solid boar with power of muscle, and square on all four.  Nice ear set, bright eyes, broad forehead and short healthy snout length.

BCF Mahia Love 4 (Amos)

Amos is an impressive boar with 'the kunekune head' and amazing confirmation.  He moves with fluidity and is used to stamp gorgeous heads and confirmation in his offspring.  Dense bone and very muscular. His offspring are consistent and large.

BCF Mahia Love 5 (Cash)

Another impressive Mahia Love boar who's strengths include solid bone, strong lines and muscular build, beautiful broad head and snout and beautiful bold color.

CJF Ru # (Bilbo Baggins)

Bilbo is a gorgeous young boar with an exceptionally sweet personality.  He has a robust build and should mature into a larger boar. 

BCF Tonganui (Buddha)

Buddha has amazingly correct confirmation from head to toe.  He is well muscled and has nice size.  His sire Babe has retired from our breeding program but was a solid breeding boar for 8 years. 

BCF Tonganui (Gustavsson)

Gus descends from our very first Kunekune, Babe.  The Tonganui line is one of the oldest in the US and we are thrilled to bring Gus up into the ranks of our foundation boars.  His dam, Stella, is our leading lady, making Gus one special guy.  He has a lovely frame with fluid movement. On top of broad shoulders is a lovely head with big, well attached wattles.  Underbelly boasts 12 evenly spaced teats.  A fine boar to carry on the tradition.

BCF Tutanekai 2 (Tonka) 

We are proud to have produced our first generation Tutanekai boar with tremendous boar line improvements.  Tonka boasts a gorgeous wide snout and head with well placed ears and wattles.  He has added bone density and a fuller body capacity with width across his topline.  Strong traits to pass on to his offspring!

BCF Whakanui 4 (Manfred)

Manfred is going to make his mark in Bel Canto's herd.  He is built compact and wide with stout legs and frame.  His head is gorgeous with two large wattles and deep jowl.  His sire, Moses, is known for throwing large piglets with strong bone. We are excited to watch this youngster mature into a full grown breeding boar.

BCF Aria Giana 6 (Mira)

Mira's dam Eva, was a large framed sow who produced lovely offspring such as our boar Buddha.  Mira is almost a carbon copy of her dam.  Large, long frame with width and depth.  Her head sports well set ears, a broad short snout and double wattles.  

BCF Jenny 1 (Josephine)

Josephine was retained for her large frame and rapid maturation.  She has a very square, broad stance with excellent width and depth over her entire frame.  A nice medium to short snout ensures ease of breathing and makes her an excellent match for some of our shorter snout boars.  Her first litter was some of our most stout piglets with exceptional bone, width and growth.  

BCF Kereopa 6 ( Dolly)

Dolly descends from our compact Kereopa line, but we have added more length to her frame.  Her sire Tonka is a WOW boar, with bone density like no other.  Dolly has beautiful coat color and will have very colorful litters.  We are looking forward to her first litter spring 2021.

BCF Sally  (Fiona)

Fiona is Phoebe's daughter.  Compact and round like her dam with a beautiful coat color.  She stands very square and wide on all fours.  Still young and maturing but we are looking forward to watching her grow and begin her breeding career.

BCF Sally 1 (Phoebe)

Phoebe is just lovely to look at.  Her coat is shiny and gorgeous and she has a beautiful kunekune head! Phoebe is a super sweet gal, very low key and a great dam to her offspring.  She has a ton of fancy piglets with nice stout frames and her lovely head.  

BCF Sally 4 (Beatrice)

Beatrice was born out of an accidental breeding.  Boy are we glad that breeding took place and we decided to retain her.  She is a rich, deep ginger.  Her confirmation is very sound.  Nice level back, great length, super sweet kunekune head, nice width and depth and roundness wanted in a kunekune.  She just had her first litter and they are just beautiful.  We are very happy with Bea and her mothering instincts.

Tarutaru (Lillette)

Lilly added the Tarutaru line to our herd.  She is quite feminine in her facial features and structure.  Lilly has excellent length and depth of frame which will be outstanding for farrowing piglets.  We are anxiously awaiting her first litter this spring. Her high-white color will be so fun to add to the breeding program.

BCF Wilsons Gina 3 (Stella)

Stella, is our feature sow, Queen of Queens and dam of Sassafras, Ruth and Gus.  She descends from a long line of superior Wilsons Gina sows.  Bonnie, her grand-dam was a spectacular sow who set the bar for all of our breeding sows.  Stella has produced litters that are above and beyond in quality and she has proven to be an exceptional mother to her offspring.  Birth to weaning she excels.

BCF Wilsons Gina 14 (Sassafras)

Sassafras was one we just couldn't let go.  She is from a Stella litter of 7 gorgeous piglets.   She continues the length and depth of body our Wilsons Gina's are known for and has 14 even teats.  She is a big, bold girl.  Such beautiful movement when she strides out.
