There are a few short/rough hair types of guinea pig.

Smooth hair- the hair is smooth all over.

Crested/Crowned- basically smooth hair with a crown of hair on head.

Abysinian- has rosettes of hair all over body, purebred is 8.

Teddy- Puffy all over.

And now the long hairs...

peruvian- look a bit like wigs. have flowing hair over face.

Sheltie- smooth, straight hair with face not covered.

And there is some more, but i cant remember them at the minute.

Can a crested guinea pig breed with abyssinian?

Ok, a crested guinea pig and, I'm guessing you are referring to an abyssian guinea pig (not a cat) CAN breed. They are NOT two different species of animals. They are different BREEDS. Both are guinea pigs, so they can breed. Think of a lab (dog) and a dachshund (dog)........they, too, are different BREEDS, but the same SPECIES (dog)......so, they can also breed.

How much should you sell your guinea pigs for?

You should sell your guinea pig depending on alot of different things.... Whether it is a registered guinea pig, what type of guinea pig it is such as the more expensive breeds like peruvian, calic, crown etc. Or if your guinea pig is more of the uasull type such as the American long hair or the American short hair. Some times the German short hairs are uasull types in some states. If your guinea pig is a registered breed then you cann sell him/her for more than 40$ depending on the breed, If your guinea pig is a more expensive breed like the ones i have showed you above you can sell them with out being registered for between 30 to 40$ , If your guinea pig is one of the most common breeds you can sell them for 20 to 30$ , But always make sure you are putting your guinea pig in a good home :)

Is my one year old guinea pig to old to breed?

Yes, I would say that eight weeks is a bit too young to start breeding your guinea pig. I would suggest waiting until your guinea pig is about four months old to start the breeding process. Otherwise, if you start breeding your guinea pig too early, there are multiple complications that could arrise that might affect the health of the mother of fetus(s).
