Breed Clubs and National Societies
Rare Varieties Cavy Club - website
In 1967 all varieties of cavy accepted by the National Cavy Club had their own specialist club, except the Tortoiseshell and the Brindle. It was then that the Rare Varieties Cavy Club (RVCC) was formed to cater for these breeds and renew interest in them, also providing a club for further new breeds that might develop. The club now caters for the Tri and Bicolours, Satin, Argente, Harlequin, Magpie, Ridgeback, Belted, Swiss, Chinchilla, Lunkarya, Caramel, Self Blue and Californian.
British Cavy Council - website
The British Cavy Council (BCC) champions the exhibition and promotion of purebred cavies (guinea pigs). It is not a club or an association with members, rather it comprises representatives from each of the thirteen Specialist Breed Clubs in the UK, plus a Chairman and a Secretary/Treasurer.
Southern Cavy Club - website
