Answer 3

Actually there is 13 most common breeds known in America.

And they are:

The first breed, Abyssinian .The fur is basically all over the place, with multiple colors and rosettes which as we know them as cowlicks. It is also one of the oldest breeds of piggies and is the breed that I like best .

Number Two is the Abyssinian Satin also has rosettes ( cowlicks) but they have a satin sheen to there fur. A minimum of 8 cowlicks in order to be shown to be Abyssinian or Abyssinia Satin

Number Three is the Coronet breed. The Coronet Guinea Pig is one of the long-haired guinea pig breeds. Coronet has with a coronet or rosette (cowlick) in the middle of the head.

Number Four and Five is the Teddy and Teddy Satin Guinea Pig's. You can recognize this piggies from there thick wiry coat . This coat overlaid on it's rounded guinea pig shape is where it gets its name because they adorably look like a Teddy bear. The coat may look soft or wiry to the touch typically the Teddy Satin has the same appearance expect for the glossy sheen. Which might make them look more inviting to snuggle

Number Six and Seven is the is Peruvian and Peruvian Satin Guinea Pig. They are recognized by there long hair. These Piggies are usually show guinea pigs and require regular grooming. The only difference between the two is the Peruvian Satin has a satiny sheen. I wouldn't recommend them for children because of the maintenance. This breed is also not usually found in pet stores

Number Eight and Nine is the American and the American Satin Guinea Pig. They are the most common breed of Guinea Pigs as well as one of the oldest close to Abyssinian. There hair is straight back and sleek. With the Satin the same appearance applies expect for there fur is glossy and sheen. Very soft to the touch It is not long and probably the type you would see in the pet store. You might have one of these breeds.

Number Ten is the Texel Guinea Pigs. They have long hair with curls. A very beautiful piggies but, requires very high maintenance. They have some of the most pretty tresses in the animal kingdom. Not a piggies you would find in the pet store mostly for show. They are a very unique and arguably one of the most beautiful breeds of Guinea pig. Their distinctive look has the influence to gain hearts in a moment. Their inquisitive and friendly personalities are equally highly regarded, making the Texel a great Guinea pig for a pet or for show.

Number Eleven and Twelve is the Silkie and Silkie and Satin. The Silkie is a beautiful long haired Guinea Pig. Very popular on the show tables like the Peruvian. Although unlike the Peruvian, the coat on the Silkie doesn't part naturally, rather the coat grows backward from the head Silkies have very soft hair. The Silkie Satin is all but the same with a shiny coat. I would recommend this breed for dedicated owners, with the interest of show.
