Life looks a little different for me now and it’s required me to take a step back from the piggies for a moment. 6 weeks ago I was offered my dream role and moved up to Ballarat. A lot has been going on behind the scenes and I’m so thankful for everyone’s patience while I’ve navigated this transition in my life.
For the next year, I’ve decided to take a major step back from breeding as I focus on developing my career. I’m so thankful to some amazing ANCC breeders who’ve taken on my best stock to keep my lines going. I still have my beloved Alpacas, Peruvians and Shebas but my short haired cavies have gone to people who are even more passionate than me and truly deserve them 🙆♀️💖
This moment has given me a real time to step back and really assess what I like in my cavies, more than just a breed standard but the the intangible qualities like intelligence, friendliness, calmness and confidence. Temperament is so sought after in cavies but genetics are hardly ever acknowledged as a key defining factor.
So this next year will focus on temperament even moreso in the few litters I have planned whilst still being strict on breed standards.
The Baldwins will be worked on carefully throughout this. They are an amazing cavy and deserve to have the utmost care mapped into their genetics whilst in this early developmental phase in Victoria.
This page will continue to operate and I aim to spend some time discussing on cavy care issues alongside cute cavy photos 💖
Pictured is my darling November enjoying the sunshine in Victoria Park today. You have got to love her tanned sock line 🙌🫶
