Cavy Shows in the Northeast

I would like to know if there are any places in Connecticut or Massachusetts where people show their Cavies. I am a new member, have gotten two piggies recently and would like to get out to see other piggies and enthusiasts.

You might want to look into finding "pignics" instead then. Shows are mostly associatied with breeders, which you will soon learn, do not classify under the type of "piggie enthuasiasts" you're probably looking for.

Re: Cavy Shows in the Northeast

Your best bet is to plan or look for postings about "pignics". Basically, that would be an informal gathering of cavy lovers who get together to hang out with each other and their pigs in a relaxed environment. There are frequently members who try to have this kind of get together, and they can be a lot of fun.

The forum is anti-formal showing. Showing tends to be geared primarily towards breeders and creating more animals just to perfect the look of the breed types rather than advocating adoption and getting animals out of the shelters and rescues.

Re: Cavy Shows in the Northeast

Sorry for the confusion. I'm in no way interested in breeders. The replies I received led me in a better directions which is pignics. I go from there.

Thanks

We have quite a few members in the Connecticut and Massachusetts area. Hopefully one or more of them will respond, and you can work something out. Good luck.

Re: Cavy Shows in the Northeast

I would also see if there is a GP rescue near you. They would love your help and you won't find bigger Guinea Pig freaks (sorry I mean fans ) then the people who run rescues.

She really did mean freaks. She's practically the Queen of the Cavy Freaks, but she doesn't live up north.

Re: Cavy Shows in the Northeast

OK, before we scare off the very well intentioned new forum member, we should probably stop. Needless to say, we're all a bit freakish about our pigs. If you and your pigs ever come down South, drop in. We'll have a mini-pignic for you.

You're both freaks. And that's my two cents.

You freaks don't scare me. I'm well on my way to freakdom. Working at a Rescue is a great idea. There is a big one in Durham Connecticut.

Re: Cavy Shows in the Northeast

If you're looking for a pignic, there's one in Boston on October 8th.
