The Angeln Saddleback originated in Angeln, a region of northern Germany that belonged
to Denmark before 1885. It was developed by a cross between a black-and-white landrace
and a Wessex-Saddleback. In 1937, it was accepted as a new breed. In the 1950s, the
Angler Sattelschwein had a big share of the market, but a few years later, it seemed
to be too fat for the consumer, and the breed is nearly extinct.
