Randy Peterson

Randy Peterson breeds American guinea pigs in Holly Springs, North Carolina, in Wake County and the Research Triangle near Raleigh.

He has been involved with American guinea pigs for over a decade, maintains memberships in national small-animal associations, and ensures each pig receives routine veterinary screening. Bloodlines are selected for uniform coat texture and temperament, following breed standards established by leading cavy clubs. His herd lives in spacious, climate-controlled enclosures on the homestead, and each pig receives daily handling to support sociable, confident temperaments. Children and adults alike note the pigs’ gentle nature during supervised visits at local fairs and community events.

Prospective owners receive a detailed care guide covering housing, diet, and enrichment, reflecting the breeder’s hands-on approach. Pedigree records and health certificates accompany each placement to support lifelong care and track lineage. They also support local 4-H youth programs by offering occasional workshops on small-pet care.
