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

Guest Number 14

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

Me not sure if this works overseas but definetely does in the UK

If you want your good cause mentioning (rescue open days etc) leave a comment in this section or email me details and me will add it.

Toothie Problems

Like us guinea pigs, humans can also suffer from problems with their toothies.

Mummy is suffering at the moment, luckily for her the toothie problems have not stopped her eating.

Mummy had to go to the dentist (like a vet but for human teeth) she had to have a filling, she is also waiting for hospital appointment to remove her wisdom tooth that is growing side ways under the gum.

As if that wasnt enough, once she has got all that sorted she needs root canal work and a cap for a tooth that has split.

Poor Mummy

Me is glad my toothies are good!!

What Type of Guinea Pig is Your Human

Daddy has decided that he would be a short haired brown piggy with 1 white sock and a playful attention seeking attitude.

Mummy would be a white peruvian with a tendency to bite and dominate.

So what would your human be?

Grrrrrrr

Me hates puters now as well.

The puter forgot who we were again and so we lost all our stuff, luckily we had backed it up.

We had backed up everything apart from Mummies Ipod library so she has to spend hours reloading all the music again. Good job she didnt throw away the CD's.

Windows Vista pah brrrrrrrrrrr not impressed
