Joann Vachon

Joann Vachon and Robert Vachon are American guinea pig breeders in Zebulon, North Carolina, Wake County near Raleigh. They have been raising American guinea pigs for over a decade, maintaining membership in the American Cavy Breeders Association and following recommended health protocols with annual veterinary exams and routine genetic screenings.

The Vachons emphasize a nurturing environment where each litter is weaned at an appropriate age and socialized daily. Their setup includes spacious, clean hutches in a temperature-controlled barn, along with a balanced diet of timothy hay, fresh vegetables, and fortified pellets.

Prospective owners often note the calm disposition and glossy coats of these pigs, a result of careful breeding records and ongoing health monitoring. Many of their Americans have shown well at county fairs or settled smoothly into family homes as affectionate companions. Their pairing decisions are guided by health evaluations and temperament assessments to preserve friendly, robust lines.
