| priStine cavies |
I started my caviary in the spring of 2005 but for
reasons of time and money I stopped breeding and
showing in spring of 2008.
There are so many great breeds and colors but I
keep to Americans and American Satins,
especially the satins. The colors I ended up
specializing in were red, chocolate, and dilute
agouti. I also bred a few beige and very light solid
dilute animals. My animals were bred for show
and/or further breeding of quality animals in mind.
I bred guinea pigs because I enjoy the company of
the little critters and watching their behavior and
social interaction. I also have a great time at shows
with our little group of friendly, open and animal
loving people. Besides sharing our interest in
cavies/guinea pigs with each other we also enjoy
talking to regular pet owners about the care and
behavior of guinea pigs.

I consider this little rodent specie one of the best
pets for children because piggies are simple to
care for, and they are easy to gentle and handle
when treated right.

Several of my pigs will stay with me as pets.
Some of my pigs are also used for show and tell
and other educational events, and for therapy, even
though I haven't been to vary many events this year.

I occasionally foster guinea pigs for the Idaho
Humane Society, for which I am a seasoned
volunteer and foster parent.
