The Oxford Sandy and Black Pig was one of the oldest British domestic pig breeds, created in the upper Thames Valley around Oxfordshire. Only a few survived by the 1960s/1970s and many were suspected not to be purebred, so the breed was declared extinct. It was re-created in the 1980s and is once again recognised as a rare breed.

A medium-large pig, as its name indicates, it has sandy- or ginger-coloured hair on the body and black patches and spots, both of which limit sunburn.
