Anyway, your piggy is adorable! What is his/ her name?
Do you have a picture of your mixed piggy? I think i have a mixed piggy too. Presley has longish hair she is definitely not a short hair, but it is not quite long enough for her to be a silky.I met someone at the Bay Area Pignic who swore up and down she had an Abyssinian, but it was an American Shorthair. I think her piggy's coloring confused her somehow, because she kept talking about its color. I hate to argue so eventually I just said "OK". Isn't there a good link floating around here that shows examples of different breeds?? I know my Silky/ Sheltie's hair doesn't get super long, so I wonder if he is mixed somehow.

I have always found that link helpful.@NorthernLight I know, Wikipedia isn't always the most reliable of sources but this one looks pretty good. List of guinea pig breeds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is Clifford's rump, which best shows his medium-length hair. He has shorter hair around his face, and the hair you see down his back in this photo gets a few inches longer than this. So I am thinking Silky/ American Shorthair mix??
