No, you don't need a pedigree or a registered animal to show a guinea pig. They do need to fit the breed standard and have no disqualifications for the breed and variety. For more info check http://www.acbaonline.com and http://www.arba.net
Hello I know a lot about guinea pigs, but it really does depend the question is, is are you just looking for a family guinea pig? A show guinea pig? or a breeding guinea pig? If a family guinea pig you can visit your local animal shelter they really can be from 0$ to 250$ Ones from petstores are usually 20$ to about 60$
Before you try any guinea pig chiropracty, you ought to show the animal to somebody with medical training. It may be that the animal is injured or that it has a degenerative disease. WA has no reliable means of rendering a diagnosis.
no, unless a parent of the non-standard guinea pig is a standard.
Figure out why your parents will not get you a new guinea pig. Is it because you were not responsible with your old pet? Show your parents that you are responsible and capable of caring for an animal on your own by doing extra chores around the house. You may get your new guinea pig?
If your talking about showing in a fair then No........you can show most all guinea pigs...

both.actually, I'm pretty sure that they only have hair. the difference is that when there is fur on an animal, it sheds.---------------------------Scientific American published an interview in 2001, with an expert mammologist from the New York American Museum of Natural History, where the question of the difference between hair and fur was asked. The short answer is, "no difference"). It's very interesting, and can be found here:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-is-the-difference-beWhether it is referred to as "hair", or "fur"; how long it grows; and whether it ever stops growing, is based :- first on the species of mammal involved(for example, neck hair on horses, versus neck hair on cats)- then - if there are breeds of that mammal - on the breed(for example, the length of neck hair/fur on Siamese cats versus length of neck hair/fur on Persian cats, or length of neck hair/fur on Friesian or Andalusian horses , or Appaloosa horses )- and finally on the genetics of the individuals themselves.When, or if, the hair/fur in a certain area ever stops growing, depends on the type of hair/fur it is.Whether fur/hair is shed, depends on all of the above, as well.See also:What is the difference between hair and furAs to guinea pigs breeds specifically, guinea pigs have a very large variety of coat textures and lengths, including, but not limited to:- Abssynian - hair about an inch, and growing in swirls or cowlicks (the placement of these is critical in show guinea pigs)- Smooth Coat - short straight hair lying close to the body- Peruvian - very long straight hair, can fan out around the guinean pig for over a foot- Rex or Teddy - very short, kinky hair, looks like a brillo pad- Texel - long thick soft wavy hair in curls and ringlets 1-3" long- Satin - a variation on the other types - incredibly SHINY like it's been lacquered!There are many more official coat and breed varieties in guinea pigs!---------------------
