Picadilly is an American satin:

Not the greatest pic, I'll try to get more single shots of him in good lighting.

Thanks Jennicat & Tracis

Jenn who is that in the picture? (Very pretty) Oops I see it is Picadilly. Thanks


To all: It would be wonderful if sending a pciture of your own pigs to tell me their names too (always nice when we see a name) not required for the project just nice all the same in my opinion.

If I start posting pics of satins, I'd like them to be as shiny as possible. I really have trouble seeing the sheen on Picadilly, although I'm sure he's gorgeous in real life.

Yes, posting links is THE best way. I hate having to wait for tons of pics to load on a thread.

I really need GOOD pics. Good lighting, composition, etc. I could easily take tons of bad pics (I have a ton myself), but since this is for a reference, I would like them to be as sharp as possible, with a good view of most of the pig (side or 3/4 views are probably the best).

Great pics, Tammy. I will definitely be able to use at least a few of those. Nice and representative, I think.

I take the website pics of adoptable animals for the local humane society. I have put together a "best of" page on my personal website. I always try to make the pig pics as professional as possible to bring people in to adopt them.

Please feel free to use whatever you might need. There are pics of 46 pigs with quite a variety of coat colors and breeds.
