Hello everyone, I got a lovely rescua guinea pig a few days a go to accompany my neutered male and was wondering if she is a particular breed (photo attached)?

If she has whirls/rosettes on the back, she is a peruvian, if she only has a whirl on the top of her head, she's a coronet.

Whatever she is, she's simply stunning! Has she got a name yet?

gorgeous piggy! x)
 
Not well up on breeds like everyone else but she is GORGEOUS! xoxo
 
Yes, she is huge! Not fat, just has a lot of hair:(|) She does indeed have 2 rosettes, so perhaps she is a peruvian then! The lady who rescued her has been calling her Amy so I think I will stick with that. Does anyone know a way to tell how old she could be? The lady reckoned she is about two, but is there a way to confirm it?
 
It is very difficult to tell an adult piggy's age. Eventually, the toenails thicken up and twist more, the older a piggy gets; but some are born with with getting twistier nails earlier than others.

I thought that Amy was looking a bit more peru than coronet (my two longhaired piggies are coronets). But she is certainly a BIG lady!
