Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

I love them all.
When getting our piggies from a rescue shelter, I ask for the ones who is *Less* likely to be selected for homes.
I find they are the *Best*.

Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

my favorite guinea pigs are... MINE!

Honestly, I think they're all cute. I love the fuzzy ones with no noses, and the fluffy dustmops. We adore our abysinnians "bad hair day" look, and our American's two-tone coat. I like the ones that look like snowballs, and the ones that look like little lumps of coal. They're all sweet to me I had to stop going into pet shops because I was constantly tempted to bring them all home with me! It's online shopping & a little no-pet supply store for me!

Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

My soft spot is for a female abssynian. Those little tufts of hair are just adoreable. These piggies look like girls and have such a sweet angelic face.

Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

I love my abyruvian's rooster tail and his big nose He is such a mutt but I love the way he looks.

I love how small Lina the skinny pig is. She is so tiny and fragile looking that you just want to pick her up and swaddle her in fleece.

Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

I love all guinea pigs! I love abysinnians though because of my cuddly little boar. But I love shorthair and long hair as well, as long as you brush the longhair otherwise they go all fluffly.

Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

I'm sorry I did not realise that asking what your favourite breed was against the rules.

Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

I love all breeds, but long hairs are my real deep-down loves. I have one long haired pig, Tuppence-Poppy, who is quite popular with other members here (I have quite a few planning on pig-napping her). She is such a beautiful Coronet I can't believe my luck. I also have an Abyssinian and two English.

Here is one of my favourite pictures of Tuppence:

Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

well ly&pigs said read the rules and it said this is a rescue friendly board and you should not talk about breeds.

Re: whats your favourite guinea pig....

You should not talk about breeding. Talking about different coat types is fine.
