Selfs
A smooth coated Guinea Pig of all one colour is known as a Self. They come in a multitude of colours. Each colour is referred to as a separate breed, and within each colour they may also be identified by their eye colour, e.g. the pink-eyed white, and the dark-eyed white. However there is interbreeding between the colours due to the genetics of the colour, e.g. A buff to white mating will produce all creams, whereas a cream to cream mating will produce 50% cream, 25% buff and 25% white! The top colour is an even shade across the body, with the under colour slightly paler. All Selfs have flat faces with broad roman noses.

Buddy
This cheeky chappie is our top stud Self boar. He is a Pink-eyed white and has a wonderful personality. With big rose petal ears to die for, he has done well on the show scene and has produced some stunning off spring.
Buster
Buster is a Buff Satin boar. Absolutely gorgeous face features and a lovely personality. He can be a bit skittish, but he loves a cuddle. However, don't tell him you're going to cut his nails!!! Sadly buster is no longer with us but will never be forgotten.
Chester
Chester is Buster's son and is still only young, but we hope he will be a valued breeding boar. He has a lovely little face and is currently living with his Dad.
Chucky
Chucky is Buddy & Betty's son. He's a gorgeous little boar but unfortunately a bit long in the coat. After much debate, we decided to keep him and use him for our pet projects.
Betty
This gorgeous girl is a dark eyed cream and one of the nicest pigs in our posession! She is SUCH a lovely natured pig and we really wouldn't be without her. She is an absolutely wonderful Mum, and gets on with pretty much any pig we put with her, sow or boar.
Beth
Beth is a pink eyed cream sow who is a wonderful breeding sow who is a fantastic mother. She's a bit nervous with humans, but certainly isn't afraid to stand up to a pig being a bit too forward.
Betsy
Betsy is a Buff Satin sow. She had already had a litter when we got her and has produced us some nice babies. This girl is good to put with pregnant sows as she will help clean up babies as they are born.
Babs
Babs is from Sharon Palmby's line and is a dark eyed cream sow. She is extremely scatty but is calming down as time goes by...however I think she'll never get use to us!!
Cassie
Cassie is a gorgeous little Pink-eyed White sow (unfortunately the photo doesn't do her justice). She has such a funny personality to match her gorgeous looks. She is such a chatter, whenever you hold her she will talk the WHOLE time. She did well in her first show and we hope she continues to shine in the show ring.
Cheryl
Cheryl is a Dark-eyed white. In her first show she picked up a rosette and some impressive certificates. We hope she will continue to do well in the show ring.
Candy
Candy is Buster & Babs' daughter and Chester's sister. A cute little Pink-eyed white, we look forward to trying her in the show ring.
Clarissa
Beth & Buddy's daughter, she is a valued member to our brood. We hope she will make a brilliant breeding sow. She is a Ruby eyed white self.
