Anyone who has watched the popular YouTube video about Kingsford the tiny pig on The Dish Rag, you're in luck. 

So many of you wanted to know where you could get one and how big they might get. 

Now a British breeder of "teacup pigs" has appeared on the "Today" show.

Here's the scoop. At birth, her tiny piglets weigh about 9 ounces. At full growth at age 2, they are about 12 to 16 inches -- about knee-high --and weigh 65 pounds. About the size of a spaniel.

BTW, pigs are highly intelligent and reportedly beat dogs in IQ tests. In the United States, potbellied pigs were something of a fad a generation ago, but the craze dissipated when their owners realized that they got very large. 

Just ask George Clooney, whose potbellied pig named Max got huge and had to be kept outside in his own pen. Max died peacefully after a long and happy life just a few years ago. 

Doesn't sound like these little dudes are available in the U.S. yet. But we're sure it's only a matter of time.
