Hey, I used to have a cute guinea pig some years ago. It was good-tempered and was fine with being held. I have no clue what breed it was, can anyone possibly list some breeds of guinea pigs that are black and white?? thanks
;)

Breed and color are separate from each other. Some of the breeds are standard, Abyssinian, Teddy, and Peruvian (long hair). My last guinea pig, Fritz, died about 5 hours ago. She has surgery yesterday and didn't recover.

ok. I'm sorry about Fritz. :( is there any way i can tell how to decide what breed a guinea pig is?

There are only half a dozen breeds. Oh, I forgot the crested which is a rare one with a swirl of fur on the head. It should be easy to tell which you see. Most pet stores only sell regular ones, teddies (short, softer fur, a little frizzled), and Abyssinians (fur is whorled).
