Guinea pig Show/ Competition?

Question
Hi, do you know if Guinea pig show exist like dog shows? Do you know where I can find more information on it? I would like my adorable guinea pigs to be shown, I live in San Francisco, but I couldnt find anything about Cavy shows. Thank you for your time!


Answer
Pauline -

Guinea pigs most certainly do exist, and the best thing about them is that you don't have to have a pedigree to show!  Since you live in the US, here's a web site you can link to for more information about showing:

www.acbaonline.org

The cavy breeders club in your area (which would be the sponsor of any shows) is the Golden State Cavy Breeders Association.  Here is a link to their web site:

Looks like the next show in your area is March 19, just south of Sacramento.  (I got this information off the above web site.)

Hope this is helpful.  Please feel free to contact me again if you have any more questions.  Good luck!
