A pure line (pure breed) refers to a group of individuals that consistently breed to produce a certain characteristic - and have the same genetic makeup (for those characteristics). For example, Guinea pigs with BB will produce offspring with black fur, these are purebred. However, Guinea pigs with Bb are not purebred (as they could have offspring with black or white fur).

I just got a new younger guinea pig the older one I've had urinates on and treats it mean will she get over it?
Guinea pigs from separate litters that are about three months and younger can be housed together. However, if the guinea pigs are older and from different litters or if one guinea pig is older and from a litter separate from a younger guinea pig, then one or both of the guinea pigs may become stressed or jealous. This can also become dangerous because some guinea pigs may try to fight each other. The two guinea pigs should be placed in separate cages. So that they can become more familiar with each other, maybe they can be placed together in a play area for a few minutes. If one or both of the guinea pigs become stressed or attempts to attack the other one, then they should be placed back in their separate cages until they have time to calm down. It's possible that the older guinea pig will become use to the younger one, but both guinea pigs should be supervised while they're together so that there won't be any problems.
