Garden City Cavy Club We are a family focused Cavy club (Cavy being the correct term for Guinea Pig) based in Christchurch, affiliated to the New Zealand Cavy Council.

The Garden City Cavy club was first formed in 1982 in Christchurch. It is dedicated to all Cavy enthusiasts (Cavy being the correct term for Guinea Pig). We are a Christchurch based, family focused Cavy club with a membership made up of adults and juniors spread the whole country. We recognise the New Zealand Cavy Council as the governing body for the Cavy fancy in New Zealand. We support our memb

ers in the ethical keeping of Guinea Pigs and encourage members in the showing of both pedigree and pet animals with the assistance of national body trained and qualified local, and invited judges. The club holds shows four times a year. As the home to past New Zealand National Champion piggies, there is plenty of knowledge to take advantage of.
