Breed Description:
Teddy's began as a coat mutation in an American cavy back in 1967.
They became the 5th recognized breed in 1978 & are the most popular
breed today. The coat of a Teddy is short & dense with a unique "kink"
to the hair shaft. This is what causes the hair to stand erect
all over the body. I compare their coats to carpet or grass when
describing them to someone who is not familiar with them as
those things grow erect just as a Teddy's coat. There are 2 coat types
recognized by judges when Teddy's are being shown: harsh & plush.
** Please note that my Teddy herd (except for the 1 pair
that's highlighted) are now in Ann Arbor,MI with
the Patel Family. If you are looking for a quality pet or show
Teddy or two,please email them @ helipilot32@ameritech.net .
It was a hard choice cutting back but I feel like these guys
got a great home where they'll be worked with as they deserve.
I will still have an occasional litter but maybe only 1-2 a year.
