Wasn’t sure if crested was a breed or coat type
Edited them in

Merino
Baldwin Skinny

I cant think of any more ones with different coat types, but there a lots more if you're including colour/patterned breeds. Dark eyed creams, PEWs, a heap of other self colours, dutch, himilayan, californian, tri colour, brindle, magpie, harlequin, roan, dalmatian, foxes and tans, various agoutis, argente, ridgeback..dark eyed whites..and my minds gone blank lol

Cuy? Does it count?

Big pig Clover was asking if cuy counts, and I wouldnt argue with her, she looks like a prize beef bull with attitude
Ollie says what about agouti?

Agouti would be colouring, would it not?... I can see a whole new thread coming on

Maybe, but Ollie has a very different coat texture to my smooth haired piggies, its a lot softer like bunny fur...

Clover will be straight round, after she finishes her hay! Best lock the doors

Not acceptable

Imagining a guinea pig driving to scotland, in stuart littles car

Clover will be straight round, after she finishes her hay! Best lock the doors

Yet her anger will cease, when she is greeted by veggies

Not acceptable
