Meet Hywel (pronounced Howell)!

Thankfully Cheylesmore rescue had just the boar to tick all my boxes: dominant (with a bad habit of bullying all other boys) and charismatic, over a year old - and very handsome and cuddly into the bargain!
His new name means "eminent", and he is named after an old Welsh king Hywel Dda (or Howell the Good), so I'm sticking to the Welsh ruler theme!

Currently, he is a rather frustrated boar - there was a big queue of ladies eager to say hello to him!

Even though he is already well into his post op wait, it's going to be a LOOOONG few weeks left until those pesky tadpoles have fully dried up!

But there can't be any doubt about how he will be received... Tani and Hywel have recognised each other already and have happily resumed their lively Christmas flirt through the bars!

It's safe to say that Hywel will be one very happy boar next month!

I have been thinking of Lentil - if only he was closer and a bit older... :{

Hywel is not a Llewelyn, no, but he has personality enough to stand on his own and forge his own path with the Tribe. He looks similar enough, tough, for my hubby to be happy (who was quite fond of Llewelyn) and different enough for me!
 
What a gorgeous looking boy (and I love the name :) ) He looks like he's settling in very well.
Lovely pics:)

Yeah bless him - Not sure what I'd do with Lentil who he decides he doesnt like Jake. But luckily Jake doesnt react to his dominance behaviour so he may just get fed up in the end.

My OH is very fond of Lentil (his fave) so I dont think I could give him up now though if he could of gone to you I would have but I dont think my OH would be happy.

Hopefully he'll be a good boy and behave himself.
 
Hywel is adorable and it's lovely to see him settling in so well. So pleased that Tani and he recognised each other too.
 
Congratulations! He's stunning x). I bet he can't wait to get to meet all your girls in pigson.
 
He's lovely :) I bet he'll be very happy and so will all his girlfriends :)

Oh, no doubt of that! The girls just love him; I haven't heard one bit of chattering at any time and several are pretty busy flirting away!
 
He's lovely and coordinates lovely with the girls.

Good luck Hywel, you're going to need it with all those lovely ladies vying for your attention.x)
 
Oh what a lucky boy. A huge new palace and a hareem of beautiful ladies x)
 
Aw how lovely. So glad you found another piggy to keep your girls happy and he is very handsome!
Although... it always makes me giggle when I read your other piggy's name of 'Tani' as that's actually my name, haha. (well, shortened version as it's Tanith in full but I rarely use it!) :))

I had to laugh as well when you started posting soon after I'd renamed Tani! :) My Tani is named after dame Tani Grey-Thompson, the wheelchair athlete. It's a Welsh endearment from the word for fire.
 
what a shame he couldn't move in in time for Valentines! ♥♥♥♥♥
I best join the queue for a cuddle with Hywel!
 
Oooooo Hywel is one handsome chunkster x) and he's already popular with the ladies lucky boy! :))
 
What a handsome boy, and what a reception he'll get when those barriers are finally removed.
