The bristle colour of the blonde mangalica breed shows a variety ranging from grey through yellow to yellowish-red, with the yellowish and reddish discolouration brought about by keeping and soil conditions.
The bristle of the red mangalica is darker or lighter reddish-brown.
The bristle of the swallow-bellied mangalica breed is black on the sides and the back, while the lower part of the body, the belly and the chops are either black or silver-grey extending as far as the corner of the mouth. The tail is also white while the tail tassel is black.
The bristle of mangalica pigs is pigmented greyish-black, the natural body openings and the rooting ring are black, and the nipples and nails are also black.
On the lower edge of the ear there is a light coloured (3-5 cm diameter) mark showing a gradual transition on the pigmented skin, which is the so-called “Wellman spot”, a variety-specific feature of the mangalica breed.
The bristle of the breed is thick, curly, shavings-like in winter and finer, shorter and more smoothly running in summer. The shavings-like bristle is again part of the breed’s specific features with the ring-like heavily curling bristle and coarse straight bristle along the back-line or the sides being undesirable. Too fine, woolly bristle is not desirable either. The coarse bristle, the black bristle ends on the Blonde mangalica and the black hairs lining the ears are signs of the occurrence of alien breeds of the ancestors of the individual pig.
The head is medium-long and the back of the nose forms a slightly broken line.
The ears are medium-large and tip forward.
The eyes are brown, the eyebrows and eyelashes are black.
The root of the tail is characteristically thick and the tail tassel is always black.
The minimum number of nipples is 5 normally developed nipples on either side.
The line of the back is slightly curved; the loin is short or medium-long.
The bone–structure is fine but the bones very hard.
