We received our third trio of Texels in the middle of June. The breeder who we had previously bought pigs from started having health issues and was downsizing. She was offering some of her best quality guinea pigs, including a lot of Texels. We went to a show in Spencer, Massachusetts on June 15 to pick them up.
The first cavy we bought was a Chocolate, Orange, and White Sow whom we named Nativefox's Seabreeze as her show name, and Belle as her barn name. She is very sweet, although she was, and still is, very scared.

The second was Dreamwalker, a senior boar of the same pattern as Belle. He sired many litters for his breeder and is about a year and a half old. He is also very good at posing, as he has gone to many shows.

The third piggy was a birthday surprise for me from my parents. Mom knew that I loved red eyed guinea pigs (even though they creep her out). The breeder happened to have a PEW (pink eyed white) whom she was going to keep but couldn't, as she was having health problems, as mentioned before. So my mother bought the PEW, but only told me that she had purchased Seabreeze and Dreamwalker. (She also didn't tell me the price of the guinea pigs....who knew someone could buy three guinea pigs for 150 dollars?) We named him Choking Hazard as his show name, or Captain Hook as his barn name, but normally we just call him PEW.
