Hi! I was wondering what breed this guinea pig is? He has kinda long hair! I was thinking a Silkie but I’m not sure? What do y’all think?

I had thought it might be an Abyssinian but there's no rosettes to be seen, so I don't know sorry; he's very cute though!

His hair isn't long enough to be a Peruvian. How about a Peruvian Abyssinian cross? Close enough?

Thank you! I think I found out he is a Silkie by doing some more research! I appreciate your help

Now I am going to do some research. Until now I had never heard of a Silkie. Learn something every day. He is a cute guinea pig. It has been years since I have had a guinea pig but they are a lot of fun.
