Here's interesting trivia; pigs and boars are generally the same species, there's different types of pigs but every species of them has a boar that goes with it.
If you take a boar and domesticate it, breed it for two generations, their grandchildren will be pigs (no tusks, reduced muscle mass, and a generally unintelligent and tame personality). If you let pigs loose in the wild and they survive, two generations later their offspring will be boars.
In theory, if you make anthro pigs/boars, then you have a species that will look entirely different based on two consecutive generations of lifestyle. Pigs will be white collar or generally stable city folk, boars will be the lower class or people that have spent time fighting. To take it even further, you could have military service in youth or just spending time in Boy/Girl Scouts and general camping mark the difference between boars and pigs too.
See, a wolf is a wolf. A dog is a dog. Dogs can breed with wolves, and go feral. But generations of feral dogs will not become wolves, and a tame wolf bred with a tame wolf will not result in a dog. But pigs are literally their own wild ancestor self.
So...long story short, Boris isn't the type of animal that eats its own shit (any more than any animal anyway). But if he became a patrician like the Trading Places elites, his grandkids would be.
