What breed? What breed are my Guinea Pigs?

[Kieran Owen]

Hello, I have 2 female guinea pigs and I have no idea what breed they are, I have a pic. Can someone tell me what breed they are? Thanks in advance.

I believe the long haired one is a Sheltie, I think after checking google images.

The short haired is an American, also after checking in google images, I am probably incorrect, I just need to check.

You should know that there are almost no purebred guinea pigs. "Breed" is determined by hair pattern and coat color, but guinea pigs have been so casually bred for so long, that almost every pig is a mix of two or more patterns/colors.

Ohh ok. Just needed to know to see if it makes a difference to the texture of fur, as you can see the short haired is shiny, the long haired is dull.
