This is a list of pig breeds usually considered to originate or have developed in Canada and the United States. Some may have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively from those countries.
Pigs are extensively farmed, and therefore the terminology is well developed: Pig, hog, or swine, the species as a whole, or any member of it. The singular of "swine" is the same as the plural. Shoat (or shote), piglet, or (where the species is called "hog") pig, unweaned young pig, or any immature pig [23] Sucker, a pig between birth and weaning
