ARISTO STUD CAVIES 

After a 9 year break we have been bitten again by the Cavy bug!

Aristo Stud are breeders and exhibitors of quality Rex, Teddies and cross bred pets. All show quality rex breeding stock has been sourced from Mary Jaffa in Devon who breeds some of the best Rex cavies in the South of England. 

We have been busy re establishing our stud of high quality show standard Rex and are currently breeding and showing in the South West of England, attending shows in Somerset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Devon with a few shows further afield.

 

 

 

 


Formerly based in St Austell, Cornwall we previously maintained a stud of over 100 pure bred Rex cavies, with a few longhairs and dabbled here and there in some other breeds. We retired from showing and breeding 9 years ago after I bought my horse and have since pined after these adorable creatures. In between our busy competition schedule we now have found time to enjoy a few more cavies. 

We are now based in Mid Somerset  just off of Junction 23 of the M5. Please contact us for Directions.

 

 

REX CAVIES

 Rex Cavies are still in our opinion the best breed of cavy in terms of personality, temperament and hardiness. For those who are new to the breed they have thick, plush but harsh coats with adorable teddy bear like faces.

Their plush, dense coats are irresistable and their docile, quiet temperaments make them ideal childrens pets.

With careful breeding, good husbandry and the right nutrition Rex cavies can live to be up to 8 years old. Many of my old show boars lived to be 7 or 8 years old, despite travelling round the country regularly to shows!

They come in the following four categories for exhibition purposes:

Agouti - Silver, Cinnamon, Golden, Lemon and Cream

Agouti-Bi Colour - as above but with one of either white, gold or cream

Solid Colour - White, Black, Gold, Cream, Chocolate

AOC (any other colour) - any combination of Agouti tri colour, solid bi-colours, dalmation, roan, himalayan

   

We currently have a number of breeding sows in pig and usually have cross bred pets available. As rex are selected for exhibition and breeding some offspring will be offered for sale. Please do email or phone for details as stock may come available at short notice. We may also be able to source good quality stock for you at local shows so please do get in touch to see if we can kelp. We regularly post details of available stock on the website with photos (see Cavies for Sale page).

 

Exhibition Cavies

We have years of successfully breeding and showing exhibition Rex with dozens of NCC, SCC and Rex Cavy Club registered Champions under our belt. Major wins include:

  • Devon County Show
  • Royal Cornwall Show
  • London Championship Show
  • Middlesex County Show
  • Solent Championship Show

Many of our cavies have been photographed and featured in published Cavy Books. I also have experience of judging Juvenile and Pet Cavy classes.

We are happy to provide advice and guidance to newcomers and also offer advice on general feeding, husbandry and basic healthcare of guineapigs.
