Pedigree Highlights

Coconut traces back to several of the founding bloodlines that established the KuneKune breed in the United States after the pigs were rescued from near-extinction in New Zealand during the 1970s, when only around fifty individuals remained. His sire is Zion's Gate Whakanui 2 "Alton," who is himself by RAF Whakanui 2 "Walter" — the Whakanui bloodline — one of eleven recognised boar lines in North America, and one of the four that arrived from New Zealand in 2010 — now considered part of the genetic backbone of American KuneKune herds. His dam, Crazy 5 Farms Haunene 1 "Israel," descends from the Haunene sow line, also imported from New Zealand in 2010 and valued for strong maternal traits.

Further back in the pedigree, the Boris line appears on both sides of the tree — the Piney Creek Farm Boris line on his dam's side and KuneKune Preserve Boris 11 on his sire's side — connecting to Boris, one of the very first KuneKune bloodlines brought to the U.S. from New Zealand in 1995, while the BH Tutaki bloodline (imported from England in 2012) shows up twice in the tree, once on each side, linking both halves of his pedigree. Altogether, this pedigree combines five of the breed's eleven foundational boar lines — Whakanui, Boris, BH Tutaki, Mahia Love, and Ru — along with seven sow lines — Haunene, Jenny, Sally, Wilsons Gina, Trish, Rebecca Gina, and Tarutaru — giving Coconut a diverse genetic base that reflects the careful, registry-tracked breeding (AKKPS) that has helped the KuneKune breed recover and thrive since its rescue decades ago.

What makes his pedigree even more special is a touch of rare, purebred British bloodline, tracing back to one of only four documented KuneKune imports from the UK into the United States, brought over in 2012 from Barton Hill Farm in England. Today, only a small number of American breeders maintain these original British bloodlines, making them a valued piece of genetic history within the breed. At Thompson Corral, every pairing is thoughtfully chosen with genetic diversity in mind, so our piglets start life with strong, healthy bloodlines.
