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.
