I would say both tend to have a low allergy percentage. My brother reacts to my pet rabbits that stay outside most of the time, even if he only held them for a few seconds, and their shedding is minimal. We have had our guinea pigs a few months now, always in the house and in the main sitting room, and he hasn't reacted once. My dad is also allergic to dander, and he reacts to being around any animal who sheds dander. He also hasn't had reactions either. Short haired guinea pigs are said to cause more allergic reactions, but often it is the type of diet they get or how often they are bathed.
short hair.
That depends on the parents. They can be a cross between the long and short hair. They can just be the short hair. They can be the long hair. It will just be a surprise there is no way to predict it.
see how long their hair grows!
If your guinea pig has long hair, maybe two to three times a week. If your guinea pig has short hair and shed often, two times a week should be fine; if he / she has short hair and does not shed often, once a week should be fine. However, it's key to remember that they clean themselves with their paws. If you see that your guinea pig is often cleaning him/herself, keep the cage cleaner more often.
50 % out of hundred. Some babies may come out long haired and some short.

For long hair, wash them, dry them on the cool setting, and brush them. Short hair, brush them.
It all depends on if you like brushing your guinea pig a lot. You see, long hair guinea pigs are harder to groom and their hair gets full of dust and bedding and gets kind of nasty. But, short hair guinea pigs have more trouble keeping themselves warm. So it depends on if you are a brusher or a cuddler. If you are both, then I suggest getting a long hair and a short hair to share a cage together.
Yes, they are all furry. Some breeds have very long hair. There are some that are short hair.
It's obvious from this problem that short hair is dominant in guinea pigs. In that case, if we have 25 out of 100 offspring that have long hair, then there is no doubt that the parents are heterozygous for short hair. If you use the punnet square, and hypothesize that both parents are heterozygous for short hair and long hair, you will get a 25% chance that the offspring will be long haired. So, the answer to this problem is that both parents are heterozygous. Let H = short hair and h = long hair. Hh dam x Hh sire gives us, according to the Punnet Square: 25% HH 50% Hh 25% hh
Her hair should be as long or as short as he wants it to be. What race you are doesn't dictate what hair style you are allowed to have.
The phenotype of the homozygous black guinea pig would be black hair. Since black is dominant to white in guinea pigs, having two copies of the black allele (BB) would result in the guinea pig displaying the black hair phenotype.
