Types of Short Haired Guinea Pigs

There are several types of short haired guinea pigs including:
1. The American or English short haired guinea pigs are the most common type of guinea pig to be kept as a pet because they don't need much grooming and they come in a lot of different colors (almost any color).
2. The crested guinea pig looks a lot like the American or English short hair but they have a crest on their forehead that's either white or the same color as the rest of them. Their body is usually all the same color.
3. The Agouti has short, coarse hair that's mostly dark but flecked with either a darker or a lighter color.
4. Dalmation guinea pigs have short white fur with darker patches like a dalmation dog.
5. Teddy guinea pigs have short curse fur that's either wiry or fuzzy, making them look like a fuzzy toy.
6. Rex guinea pigs look like the Teddy but are genetically different.
