[you]Teddy[/you]
Teddies generally have round faces and are stocky pigs, often larger than most and often weigh in at the higher end of the spectrum, once passed the age of 18 months.
Their fur is coarse and very dense, and a little crinkly but not as crinkly as Rexes. They do look similar to Rexes and the two breeds can become confused, but they come from different lines.
Teddies look very soft but they don't feel it, as I say, their hair is quite coarse.
Teddies are prone to dandruff, so beware please as dandruff can also be a sign of skin problems and conditions such as mites and fungal infections can cause dandruff to form. It is a good idea to inspect your Teddy's coat and skin regularly to gauge a base-line for their dandruff levels, if any (not all Teddies get this) and monitor it, else a mite infestation may be dismissed in the early stages as simply dandruff.
Teddies coats do not get tangled, but they do benefit from grooming. It helps to keep their skin in better ciondition as well as their coats. However you do not need to groom them every day. A percentage of Teddies are found to have developed thinning fur on their rumps and places where they cannot groom themselves easily, and is thought to be connected to the density of their coats. The thinning does not cause irritation. If there's irritation then you must seek vetinary assistance. (it's wise to anyhow, even if the pig does not seem bothered by the fur loss).
Some also develop dry skin, and although it's true that ALL pigs require mild and specifically recommended bathing products (if and when baths are necessary) it is worth noting that Teddies can be quie sensitive.
Teddies also are prone to having 'scurfy' ears. These need checking regularly for signs of irritation or inflammation.
Their nails are quite thick and may grow a little faster than some other breeds.
We also know that piggies come in different shapes and sizes, but Teddies do have a tendency to look a little bit pregnant once they are past the age of around 18 month old! Not all Teddies, but there's a tendency there.
As with all guinea pigs, their personalities are very much their own, and Teddies vary, as do others, but there are common traits too. Often quite bold (but not always, I do have a shy one), and often not afraid of telling other pigs and humans what they want. That's not necessarily an indication that a Teddy in a mixed group will be dominant, they just seem to have a 'way' about them, it's hard to explain. One of my Teddies is dominant, the other, in my other pair of pigs, is submissive, and yet even in her submissive role she has a certain way about her that mainly comes out at food time. I've heard it said that Teddies like their food. We all know that all piggies are ruled by their stomachs, but my own two Teddies really do love their food even more than any of the other pigs I've had. Yet at the same time they often have an easy-going nature. It's hard to put into words but I've known other Teddy owners who say the same thing, and have seen it online too.
Here's where I cannot generalise and can only speak from my own experience, but my two Teddies have been fast learners. My bolder one actually invented a game when she was little, and she used to push a plastic hidy-house off the settee, wait for it to be put back, watching for it, and then she would push it off again. It kept her amused for ages at times. She became the head of a herd of four (at one time) and took her responsibilities quite seriously. She welcomed other sows gently, and protectively, and I have seen her rush to others who were showing signs of trouble, one a baby who got spooked, and one her cage mate who was sadly dying. She has shown plenty of other little signs of genuine care too. She is a very aware pig, but how typical this is I do not know. She is not afraid of a fight though is she feels her herd or herself needs protecting. My other pig, being the submissive out of her pairing, is not showing the same traits, but has learned fast since being here, even through her shyness, and has a certain assertiveness about her somehow, even though she is submissive (hard to explain). I thought I would include this observation to see if others feel that their Teddies show similar learning traits, and if this is a Teddy thing then perhaps you may wish to add it to your research.

The other two pigs were adults, though I would class them both as being on the small side, Sunrise is on the large side, and is rounded even when stetched out.

Again, comparing her stockiness with the herd

The black pig was Shadow, a smooth haired crested. She was perhaps average to above average in size and also had a rounded belly, but not as stocky as Sunrise the Teddy

And here is Oreo, not as rotund but still a stocky pig.

I wonder if it happened that time that my laptop crashed?
Oh well, here I go again!
Anyway, it'll be fun to refresh my memory on the rare Swiss guinea pig again 
yes I have a 2year old Lundry breed ! picture of her .
