Makes and Models – Part Two

Baldwin

These piggies are born with a full coat of hair on their bodies and face but it sheds as the pig grows, until they are left with a little hair on their feet and nose. We haven’t had the pleasure of meeting a Baldwin yet, but may do in the future 🙂 You can see some examples of Baldwin piggies here.

Crested

These are short haired, smooth guinea pigs in a variety of colours with a swirl of hair, also known as a crest, on their forehead. If the crest is white and the rest of the body is all one colour, then it’s known as a white crested piggy, if their crest is the same colour as the rest of their body, then they are known as crested guinea pigs.

Wilbur has a white crest and a ginger body

Bramble

Fifi

Coronet

These piggies have long hair, falling backwards, with a swirl of hair on their forehead – making them a long haired version of a crested guinea pig. They come in a variety of colours and do need lots of brushing.
