My Yorkshire/blue butt pair both have tusks starting to come in. They are a little over a year old. Maybe a year and half.

Old thread, but most hogs get tusks as they grow. It is selected against in commercial operations, and most commercial farms will trim the tusks to prevent injuries. It's also one of the features that is enhanced when they go feral. If they use their tusks a lot it stimulates them to grow.
