You have done a great Job getting all of this together and its the next step forward for Skinnys and Baldwins in the UK

[Hipparchia]

it certainly is

What are these? Never seen/heard of them!!!

[vonnie]

It has all the makings of a really excellent site.

I'm particularly looking forward to the colour guide as I'm easily confused!

Very important to have the registry at such an early stage for the breeds too I think.

[Hipparchia]

thanks hun... early days yet... but well get there

[hephev]

Please tell me about these creatures!!!!!!

[brynley]

my surname is baldwin HA HA HA

[NaomiR]

I'm going to throw caution to the wind and ask a probably very controversial question - WHY oh why are these still being bred???

They are NOT a natural species of cavy they are prone to hurrendous health problems and (as far as I can see) it's man's selfish desire alone that aids the breeding and promoting of this breed.

If anyone can explain that would be brilliant!

[Hipparchia]

skinny's and baldwin are as 'un'natural' as many other breeds of pigs i.e. long haired or dalmation/roans

i don't see many people having problems with those

they have no more health problems that any other guinea pigs
