I would like to build up a common pet breeds gallery with the help of forum member pictures. The pictures should be clear, light and ideally mostly from the side rather than from the front. Please use daylight falling on the piggy from the front if possible.

The breeds that I cannot cover with pictures of my own are:
- red eyed white smooth
- shorthair agouti
- himalayan
- all over same colour crested (English crested)
- rex (with an extra picture to show corksrew whiskers if possible_
- sheltie/silkie
- texel
- merino
- lunkarya
- skinny

Any pictures used will be credited with your member name. However, by posting them. you are giving the forum permission to continue to use them irrespective of you being active or not.
 
I can provide a picture of a skinny, Phoebe would be best as photos of Katie tend not to come out very clear. Also Maddie in my avatar was a smooth PEW.
 
Thanks! I hope that we get more volunteers!

Just an example picture. I don't know if you'd be able to use my boys for your breed guide as Walter is a himalayan but doesn't have much of a nose smudge and Gus is a golden agouti but has that big white stripe? View attachment 16858

Gus is a Dutch piggy, so if you could do a sharp good light picture of him I can either use him in the breeds guide or later on in a colour guide.
You can send me a picture of Walter, head-on as well, but whether I am going to post it depends on who else offers pictures. ;) Thanks anyway!

Ooh you learn something new every day :)
I'll get a better shot of Gus tomorrow for you if we see sunlight.
I know a few people have Himalayan piggies on here with clearer markings so hopefully one will see this post.20140530_181222.webp
 
We've got an all white with pink eyes that I think is crested (has just a single swirl on her head) but if not is just smooth.

I can also offer a Rex with curly whiskers.

Will post pics in daylight
 
My two are not purebred I don't think. This is Doughnut, I believe he is mostly rex with a hint of silkie (his brother is silkie)...



These are Doughnut's curly whiskers. :)



And this is Caramel, Doughnut's brother, sorry I don't currently have a better picture of him. I'll try to take one tomorrow. I cropped this to reduce background clutter (I also cropped the first picture). I believe he is silkie but not pure silkie.



Hope these help in some way. :)

thank you! We are currently short of pics of those two breeds!
 
You're very welcome! :)

I will be doing some piggy photo shooting tomorrow, I will try to get a better picture of Caramel. It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow. :)

Edit: I'll see if I can get a better one of Doughnut's back too. His back had recently been shaved in that picture, he had been treated for flystrike.
 
I can probably dig out some of Angus with his curly whiskers. He and Hamish were sold to me as rex but I'm not convinced he's a pure rex, Hamish certainly isn't but has lovely wavy whiskers....

Arran is a Lunkyara and I have some decent pictures around of him still too if they'd help....

If you ever need pictures for colours we've had all sorts, chocolate, lemon agouti, lilac and ginger and more

Thanks! the more pictures the better!

What I am really short of is silver agouti and some of the more exotic agouti shades. I can cover many of the other colours.
 
I think Kayleigh's Edward is a silver agouti but I can't remember her screen name on here :) I will look some pictures out for you this week :)
 
My sisters piggie is a silver agouti (I think) let me try upload a pic but I'm on my mobile so doesn't always work
 
Do you have a ridgeback? my Nuggets is one.

I will get my daughter to take a photo for you.
 
Suilven was a ridgeback/crested cross. I'd never seen one until we got him and I've never seen one since!
 
Wibke I have 2 pure bred Rex piggies, Petal (My bladder piggy she currently has a shaven belly though lol ) and her daughter Daisy <<<<<< I'll try to put pictures up tomorrow including a whisker shot ;) I also have a half Aby/Peru piggy if that's any use?
 
Thanks for the rex piggy pics! Much appreciated!
I have been thinking about a members' cross-breed gallery for a later date.
 
Emma has a ridgeback and so does Ellie but no idea if they are a purebreed, probably not.

I also have a ridgeback cross - a spayed female called Lady Bea from rugby rabbit and guinea pig rescue,as well as my full ridgeback Nuggets (who was also a rescue) - Lady Bea looks like Elizabeth the first as she is tri coloured and has what looks like a massive ruff around her neck.
