Angelic Alpaca

Lets meet Agent Aerial

Hello Agent F,

Sorry about the delay, a few computer issues!

Real Name - Evil Edna
Secret Agent Name - Aerial
Why did you chose your secret agent name - Will o the wisp character
Age - Nearly 6
Who do you live with - Elizabeth and 2 upstarts
Where do you live - England
Favourite food - Very difficult question, too many to choose from, Parsley or cucumber or romaine lettuce or hay cookies.
Favourite toy - Paper bag filled with hay
Hobbies - Keeping younger pigglies off my hay, grass cutting
Anything else you would like to say - As a senior pig, I want older pigs to have more food and hay than the younger upstarts and for them to do as they are told.

Alpaca pigs are long curly haired pigs that come in many different colours. Mummy has to take me to get my hair cut at the vets or else it gets too tangled. I would have a lovely fringe as well if the pesky little pigs hadn't chewed it off.

[caption id="attachment_802" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Agent Aerial"][/caption]

 Alpacas are long coated rexoid peruvian piggies they should have 2 rosettes that are placed so that the hair comes over the face.  The coat should be soft springy and even with undamaged ends and a parting.

The hair should be unmatted so a comb can easily pass through.

The head should be short and broad with bright eyes and drooping well set ears.

Me says Aerial looks at Angelic as she is.

Agent Aerial is a senior lady piggy living in the UK

Her real name is that of an evil TV in an old English cartoon.

That is really easy for the UK piggies to guess but very hard for non UK piggies but have a go anyway

Dashing DEW (Dark Eyed White)

Agent Minty is the nearest me can find to a DEW piggy lets meet him

Hi Agent F,

I would be delighted to join the list of secret agents. Slave will have told you that I am not exactly what you are looking for so if a proper smooth coated DEW contacts you, I will step aside and he/she can take my place. Slave also wishes you good luck in finding a Lunkarya, as she has never seen one except in pigtures.

Slave has lots of pigtures of me but the only one not showing the ginger ring around my left eye is the one that I have attached, which is of me with my best friend, Copper. If this is not suitable, let me know and I will borrow her camera so that Copper can take a better one.

Now as to the questionnaire.

Real name - Polo
Secret Agent Name - Minty
You will guess why I chose this name but I wonder if our overseas friends will know why.
I was born in January 2009, the same as my friend, Copper, with whom I share a pen. We both arrived at our Rodentologists on the same day when we were 5 weeks old and were rehomed here together.
We live at Piggyfriends in S.E.England.
My favourie food is everything except for carrots, which Copper eats for me.
My favourite toy is Copper as we play together all the time when we are not eating.
Hobby? Well I suppose that must be eating and climbing up the wire of our pen shouting for more to eat. I am watchpig for our room and let the others know when Slave is coming with our meals.

My eyes really are dark but Slave's camera makes them look a little red. Probably something to do with all that red from Copper's coat. She can't find the disk to re-install Photoshop on her new computer so I hope that this is OK.

Thank you for inviting me.

Polo Piggyfriend.

[caption id="attachment_782" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Agent Minty Checking out the Girls "][/caption]

Would you believe a DEW should be pure white with no other colours in the hair (dont turn around Agent Minty) the hair should be smooth and the eyes should be black, the ears and foot pads should be pink.

For our overseas friends this is what a Polo sweet is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polo_(sweet)

Punky Peruvian

Agent Master of Disguise is a peruvian piggy lets meet him now;

What is your secret agent name and why? Bond. James Bond. No, I'm just kidding. Is Master of Disguise too long? My hair looks different almost every moment.

Where do you live? Southeast US

Who do you live with? My mom and dad and piggie pal, Friday.

What is your favourite food? parsley, though I must eat it sparingly

What is your favourite toy? my cozy, because I can move it around until it fits me perfectly!

What is your favourite activity? lying in the hay trough and sleeping or eating

Any comments you would like to share with every one? I promise to be the best secret agent I can be.

[caption id="attachment_738" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Never the Same Hairstyle Twice"][/caption]

The Peruvian piggy is a long haired Abbyssinian, the breed standards say that the fringe should completely cover the face and the sweep should flow out from the butt, the hair is not supposed to be cut but kept in wrappers ready for show day.

Me thinks that is not fun and that Agent Master of Disguise is much better with his ever changing hairstyle.

Agent Master of Disguise.

His motto is never the same hairstyle twice.

Agent Master of Disguise lives in the South East US

He lives with his brother and Mummy and Daddy.

His real name is a type of plant most commonly found in the desert or large dry areas, the plant features in Western films to indicate desolation.

The plant is often seen blowing across the screen when a bad joke is told.

Me thinks with all those hints you should be able to guess this one.

Trouble Making Texel

Hey Buddy,

Okay, now finally, as promised, some more information about my breed.

Tumtadadum.. I'm a Texel!!! This means I have a very long curly coat. Mom says I'm very high maintanance. Tuh.. well thank you very much.. *looks really proud*.

Did you know I have some sheep and an island named after me? (no not Igors.. texels) The sheep are very curly and heavy muscled (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel_(sheep) ) just like me! And the island.. aw well.. it was close to Amsterdam (the city) when I hijacked the VOC ship and I needed a place to hideout from the police. I guess the natives were very impressed with my eating skills when I was mowing their lawns, so I think they named the island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel) and their sheep after me.

Mom likes to keep my hair short because I'm still trying to grow dreadlocks to impress my Mickey (mom just doesn't understand what cool is.. *sigh*). She doesn't comb my hair because I hate that; but she does pick out poo and hay every week or so and when she finds little knots she justs takes a scissor and cuts them out (doesn't happen too often btw.. but i do try). She repeats that until my hair becomes too long and then she cuts it all off.

The difference between Texels and other curly pigs (Rexes, CH and US teddies) is that my hair keeps on growing. The CH Teddies do have longer hair than the Rexes and US teddies, but it doesn't get any longer than a few cm. There is only one other breed that has long curly hair that keeps on growing and those are Lunkarya's. But their hair is better described as wild; instead of corkscrew curly like mine.

Lots of Wheeks!
Agent I

[caption id="attachment_635" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Trouble Making Texel "][/caption]

A texel is a Rexoid Sheltie, they can come in any colour the breed standard says that the sweep should be longer than the sides and fall over the butt, they should have a central parting and no matting (bad luck Agent I) a crest or rosette = disqualification.

Wicked Tort and White

Agent Vroom is a tortoiseshell and white piggie this means she has black, red (tort) and white markings.

The breed standards say that a tort and white piggy should have patches of black, white and red that are as square as possible and clean cut (no blurring) the opposing patches on each side of the body should be a different colour. Is this even possible???

Lets meet agent Vroom

What would you like your secret agent name to be? and why? Agent Vroom (cause that's how car goes, get it)

How did you come to be a Munchee? Muncheemom was missing Kozmo, a tortoise with white like me, and bought me at a pet store.

How old are you? About 2 1/2

How many and brothers and sisters do you have? 5 brothers, 3 sisters.

Do all your names start with a K? If yes how come? Jimmee, my roommate doesn't have a K name but shares a name with Muncheemom's brother. Bandito's K name is Karlos el Bandito. Someone suggested we all have K names like the original Munchees, Kack and Kaz.

What is your favourite food? I really love my hay.

What is your favourite toy? Jimmee LOL

what is your favourite pastime? eating

Whats the best thing about being a Munchee? Muncheemom gives us the best hay and pellets she can buy and gives us fresh veggies for breakfast and dinner.

In case none of you worked it out the  car is a KIA!! and they live in Tennessee

Guest Number 16

Guest number is another lovely lady, her secret agent name is Vroom.

Their group name is that of a type of chocolate, caramel and biscuit square we have here in the UK but the spelling is different.

This is a hard one so put your thinking caps on.

This time to confuse you we have a group of guinea pig girls who will be known as Charlies Angels.

They are all rescue piggies living together along with their brothers in New York. (we think this is New York State not the Big Apple)

You cant live in a big apple anyway, silly idea it would get eaten.

Their real names have a festive feel to them.

Me is sure you can guess who they are........

Me Knew He Wasnt A Guinea Pig

Mummy has now decided that Ghost is not an Agouti or an Argente she has now decided he is a Silver Chinchilla.

Me told you he wasnt very piggy like, oh a silver chinchilla is a breed of piggy hmmmm.

Ok here is what me has found out about silver Chinchillas.

They are an Agouti fox, the undercolour is grey and the ticking is white (longer than normal ticking) they should have white eye circles, and a white belly, dark ruby eyes and dark grey ears.

Well that description does match Ghost exactly so maybe Mummy is right this time.

Ghost still has that side patch though, so he is not show quality, so there!!!

Daring Dalmation

Agent 101 is a Dalmation, although there are breed standards for Dalmation we think they must be quiet rare as they have what is known as the fatal gene.

Dalmations and Roans should never be bred with another Dalmation or Roan as this causes horrible birth defects, this is because the gene for the Dalmation/ Roan coat is recessive.

Dalmations and Roans are genetically the same but the colour markings vary.

Many countries dont recognise Dalmations as a show breed.

Dalmations have white hair with coloured spots, feet and head, although the head has a central white blaze along the nose.

The official colours for a Dalmation are Self, Agouti and Argente.

To breed a Dalmation you need a piggy of your chosen colour and a Dalmation, the litter will always contain one self.

Agent 101 was a surplus boar from a litter, we are sure he much prefers his new home.

Agent 101 is a master of mind control he only needs to think of carrots and his Mummy runs to get them for him

Here he is with his best friend Agent Thorntons

Agent 101 is a boy from a mixed herd in the UK, again he is not a dolly mixture but a "proper" breed.

He joined his new herd as an excess boar from a litter.

Agent 101 takes his name from a famous book written by Dodie Smith.

His real name is also the name of a famous English Chef

Good luck

Cutey Cream

Agent Frothy is a self cream, me thinks she looks like she could be my sister.

Dont let Mummy know she has a thing for us blonde piggies.

The breed standard for a self cream says you should have red eyes, pink ears and pads and be a devon cream colour.

Common problems in getting the cream colour right are that if the top of the hair is the right colour the bottom is often too dark.

If the bottom of the hair is the right colour the top of the hair is too pale.

See its a complicated job being this cute.

Us dolly mixes dont care, so there wheeeek

She likes green beans

Her real name is a popular non alcoholic hot drink

Thats your lot, get guessing

Silky Sheltie

Here in the UK agent Carrot would be known as a Sheltie while in the US he would be know as a Silkie, confusing huh.

Shelties are a long haired variety of guinea pig, his Mummy cuts his hair (me thinks me would make a better hairdresser!!)

Sheltie hair can be any colour but it must be swept back from the face, the mane sweeps back to join the sweep and there must be no parting, the shoulder hair should fall evenly around the sides and the sweep hair (thats butt hair to you and me) should be longer than the sides and fall over the hind quarters.

The face should have short hair, the hair of a Sheltie is not as dense as that of a peruvian.

The Sheltie breed was originally developed by breeding a peruvian with a self black.

Show Shelties have to keep their hair in wrappers to stop it getting chewed and mucky.

Here is Agent Carrot

Agent Carrot please can you report your story for us.

Agent Carrot is a boy member of a mixed herd in the UK

He joined the herd with his brother when his previous owners marriage broke up

We dont know why he chose the name Agent Carrot, maybe its his favourite food?

His real name is English in orgin and means Noble Ruler and is the same as Agent Dinosaur, no cheating and looking at the archives.

Guess now
