The Oxford Sandy and Black[a] is a British breed of domestic pig. It originated in the county of Oxfordshire, and is named for that and its colour, which is a sandy brown with black patches. It is believed to be one of the oldest British breeds of pig.[4]
It has been known by many names, among them the Axford, the Old Oxford, the Oxford Forest Pig, the Plum Pudding Pig and the Sandy Oxford.[5]: 70 Like the Blue Albion breed of cattle, it became extinct in the 1960s or 1970s, and was subsequently re-created.[1]: xxviii
