There are many breeds out there but all the breeds I know of are:

Rex (or teddies), satin, standard self, Abyssinian, agouti (I have two agoutis and I recommend them!), crested, Dutch, Himalayan, coronet, Peruvian, sheltie, RARE BREEDS: alpaca, argenti, bicolour, brindle, Dalmatian, harlequin, magpie, merino, roan, texel and tortoiseshell.

I hope I helped! 

PS: Mongrel guinea pigs also make great pets! If you are looking for a new pet guinea then I would recommend looking in a rescue centre first.
