What breed are my guinea-pigs ?

Question

I heard you can tell a breed of guinea-pig by looking at its fur or body ?

I think these could be half-breeds but I don't know

Bunches - he's not fat, he's just puffed himself up

Nibbles - she died, but she had babys

Answer 1

They are gorgeous!!

I think you are correct in saying that they are half breeds, i think they have a little Dutch in them.

I love guinea pigs.

Answer 2

They are all domestic short/smooth haired

Bunches is red and white.

Nibbles is a tri colour.

Babies are black and white/tri colour and golden agouti and white, their markings are kind of mis-marked dutch.

They are all lovely, pretty piggies, especially Bunches!!

Answer 3

they look like american and torties (tortoiseshells)

Answer 4

i think they are smoothcoated.

You might have crossbreeds too.

Answer 5

They all look American, to me.

Answer 6

Bunches looks like he is a Bi-Colour in Golden and White

Nibbles looks like she was a Tortoiseshell and White along with the baby on the 3rd photo on her right handside.

The baby on her left looks like it is Golden Agouti and White.
