Peruvian

The Peruvian Guinea Pig is a captivating breed known for its stunning, long-haired coat that sets it apart in the guinea pig world. Originating from South America, this breed is characterized by flowing locks that can grow up to 14 inches in length, cascading in graceful layers that often require regular grooming to prevent tangling. The Peruvian's hair naturally parts down the middle of its back, giving it an elegant appearance reminiscent of a small, living mop.

Underneath this luxurious coat is a robust guinea pig with a distinctive round face and bright, inquisitive eyes that exude charm and intelligence. Peruvians are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, making them delightful companions that enjoy socializing and interacting with their human caretakers. They often form strong bonds with their owners and become integral members of the household.

Due to their high-maintenance grooming needs, Peruvians are better suited for experienced guinea pig enthusiasts who are prepared to provide regular brushing and trimming. In return, they offer affectionate companionship and beauty that few other guinea pig breeds can match. Their unique appearance and sweet temperament make the Peruvian Guinea Pig a favorite among those who appreciate the finer things in life.
