I would get short haired piggies Isabella, sows can be easier than boars to bond but if you get a pair of boars from the same litter you should be ok.
 
i would get a pair of short haired sows, well i did lol :)

but then again there are alot of boars needing homes and i think they are harder to rehome, so that would probably help a rescue out :)
 
If you can get a short haired couple then you have the best of both worlds :D
Bet you can't wait :smitten:
 
I would definately go for a short haired pair, the long haired look glam but it can be really irritating to care for them after a while (well I don't mind but then I'm odd ;D) for a beginner it may feel like a lot to do. Sows usually are better at sticking together and not fighting, although that isn't always the case - if a rescue centre has bonded them they should be ok though. Boars can also be a good bet too, but it depends if you're prepared to split them up etc if they fight.
 
i agree long hairs need grooming a lot and hair trims if they get messy etc

a short haired breed would be ideal

i had 2 boars as my first piggies, a short hair and a rex
 
I would definitely go for short-haired - long-haired need a lot of grooming. I have 2 girls and they are just brilliant - although Daisy can be hard work at times as she is hyper. I was always told that boys were friendler but don't know if this is true or not.
 
i personally would go for short haired and i think i always will stick with short haired. However if you feel you could handle the daily grooming (great for bonding) and regular haircuts then go for it. At the end of the day you have to know what you would like best and you'll know if your ready for longhaired piggies. Also if your going for rescue's it all depends on whats available at the time. Or are you prepared to wait for rescues coming in of the breed you want? You should get what makes you happiest, Because if your happy you'll have happy piggies. XX
 
Short haired girls I think. (Although I adore boys) Rexes are very placid I would maybe go for them and get a grey one so I can swoon over her. ;D
