Join us for two days of fun with triple open cavy shows, triple Skinny Pig and Friends Fun shows, and hands on learning with our Cavies 101 workshop.

Cavies 101 is perfect for youth/4H, beginners, and longtime cavy fans alike, with registered judges and experienced breeders sharing tips on care, management, and getting involved in cavy showing. It also includes a pet show and a carrot eating contest for your guinea pigs. 🥕

Legacy Caviary had a wonderful time attending the Grand Canyon State Cavy Club Cavy Convention this weekend 😊

Mike completed a registrar judge assist with Robert Spitzer, and our cavies showed well under judges Carrie Hertel and Dana Kolstad.

I was especially proud of Legacy Tony Chachere, who was BOB Teddy Satin in both shows, along with 2nd Reserve/honorable mention in Carrie Hertel's show. Our self gold teddy sow, Legacy Saison, also had a good weekend and received great comments from both judges.

A huge thank you to the judges and the club for a lovely show. It was a joy catching up with our Arizona cavy friends and seeing thriving gold teddy and tan pattern teddy programs, including a few Legacy bred cavies doing well for their owners.

I once again forgot to take many photos, but please enjoy the few I managed to grab, including the surprisingly tasty coffee we found on the drive home ☕️😁

Remember this little broken cutie who won the distribution genetic lottery? 🤭🥰 She's still looking pretty patchy as a jr teddy. 😁

"That's some really nice patching you got there. It would be a shame if there was a third color..."
—The cavy gods, probably.

She's still a keeper. 😉

New baby alert 😁🐖🚨

Legacy Caviary welcomed a litter of four otter teddies yesterday. 😊

Two black otter boars and two chocolate otter sows. We're pleased to have a break from our single-sow-per-litter streak, and also to see promising wavy tan pattern baby coats. 😊

Congratulations to Crown Royal Cavies on their wins this weekend with Legacy Romesco and Crown Royal Tommy! Always especially thrilled to hear of a Legacy pig doing well outside of our caviary.

The first litter of 2026 at Legacy. 😁

Of course, all boars. 😅😵‍💫 All are chunky babies with promising coats, so I suppose I won't complain too much. 😉
