Overview

The breeds described below have been derived from the 'American Cavy Breeders Association' which provided the most comprehensive lsit of breeds. Please see http://www.acbaonline.com/breeds.html for further information.
To make the process of breed identification easier, each breed has several examples and includes a small narrative of the breed characteristic. The various colours and their descriptions can also be found at the bottom of the page.

Abyssinian

  • The Abyssinian has a rough short coat defined by a symmetrical pattern of rosettes and ridges (similar to whorls in horses). The coat is often able to stand on end to accentuate the ridges.



Abyssinian Satin

  • Same as above except rough feeling coat has a more satin feel and is generally softer.



Short Haired

  • Often also called "English" or "American". Has a smooth consistently short coat and is sleek with a Roman nose. The hair does not usually have a parting.
