Question
I have a female Himalayan guinea pig and I'm pairing her up with my male but I don't know what breed he is, all i an do is describe him. He has short white fur and black fur around his eyes. I think my female is pregnant, but I'm a little confused. What breed will the puppies come out as?

Answer
Himalayan is just a color pattern of a breed, both are American's. Americans have short flat hair, they can be in any color pattern or variety. All of the babies should have short flat hair, the colors  could be anything, but Himilayan traits are dominant, so the some of the babies should be red eyed whites and/or incomplete Himi. The other colors just depend on the genetic history of the 2 parents, black is a dominant color, agouti, and also tortoiseshell.
