Had a few minutes this evening to sit outside with pigs🌱🌸🌻☀️🐷

Teddy Satin

When the coat outweighs the bad.
This girl had me conflicted! I’m not a fan of her head shape (“pinched”-really obvious when looking straight at her) or her dark color but she has won me over with impressive density, and sheen. A future brood girl with a super mellow personality 💕🥰

What a cutie! I love when they have a little pink nose and lips 🥰🐽

Our newly weaned boars exploring their new digs and meeting new friends. I think they like it! 🍿💕

Celtic Caviary’s Malone 💕 despite his terrible barely-there ears 😣 he was a very successful show pig and a huge benefit to my lines. Wish he was still in the barn!

If you could chose one pig to bring back from the past, which pig would it be? Share pics in the comments!! 💕 (all breeds welcome, as always!)

Congratulations to Natalie at Grazing Guineas Caviary!

Between myself and family we have used Evan’s software for 25+ years for both rabbits and cavies. I can’t recommend it enough! There are always new updates/features being added per customer suggestions and the customer service is top notch. A well deserved (future) retirement for Dave 💕

A precious little boar born sometime last night! 🥰

Sire: Celtic Caviary’s Jupiter (SA/White) ✨Satin✨
Dam: Celtic Caviary’s Athena (GA/Red/White) *2 GC legs*
Born: 5-25-24

1 GA/White (satin carrier) boar
*NFS*

This was the first litter for both Jupiter and Athena. Baby is doing great but I can tell Momma doesn’t feel alright yet. She is very attentive to her one pup though. Keeping an eye on her today; pushing fluid and getting her some extra treats and hay.

05/26/2024

The problem child, Celtic Caviary’s Pluto (SA/White). His poor m***a. He does this all the time, and I know he can reach without help 😂

05/24/2024

Jimmy (Silver Agouti) AKA “Jimmer” (a name inspired by Escanaba in da Moonlight/my husband 😅)
One of my unique teddies from the past 🥰
He was about 5ish yrs old in this pic, and still earning legs! He never made any babies (😢) but he lived out his final years happily with his girl Celtic Caviary’s Pocahontas 💕

"Jimmy" earned a leg in Midland today by winning Best of Breed 🌟

A very nice satin/carrier litter born today! ✨

Sire: KMR’s Slate (DA/REO/White) *Teddy Satin*
Dam: Celtic Caviary’s Tai (Silver Solid/White) *Satin Carrier*
Born: 05-21-24

Mom is doing well and babies are already running around like lil wild banshees. The sows have great ears, all have pretty nice markings (🥳), and the satins have awesome sheen!

2 DA/White Teddy Satin sows ✨
1 DA/White Teddy Satin boar ✨
1 GA/White Teddy (Satin Carrier) boar

✨Teddy Satin Babies!✨

This is our first satin x satin litter in over a decade!

Sire: Celtic Caviary’s Duckling (Gold/White)
*Teddy Satin*
Dam: Celtic Caviary’s Sapphire (Silver Agouti/White) *Teddy Satin*
Born: 5-14-24

2 “broken white” sows
1 gold/white sow
1 silver agouti/white boar
*NFS*

Sheen is very obvious in person, but that gold/white really shines in pics too! They are all hefty, wild babies and mom is doing a great job taking care of them.

Although I will be keeping one of the “white” sows regardless, (assuming coat develops nicely), I would be curious to hear opinions/knowledge on using them in your broken programs. She would more than likely be paired with a distantly related SA/White satin boar.

Two nice little shows today in Fowlerville, MI!

We got to catch up with our cavy friends and I was happy to have my aunt, Mom, cousins, niece and sister-in-law there for a quick visit! The kids loved seeing all the buns and pigs, I foresee some future cavy breeders🤞🏻😉💕

Pig weighing day today was- as expected-an uneventful chore.

But, these roly-polies join the 3LB+ club🐷🥇

Celtic Caviary’s Kelso is the one eating (surprise!) and Celtic Caviary’s Kirby is the nervous snacker in the corner. *NFS* 💕

Does anyone have contact information for the American Cavy Breeders Association?

I’ve submitted my membership form/payment over a month ago, emailed them again a week ago for a status update and still have not heard anything. 🫥

04/26/2024

The judgmental, carrot stained stares of KMR’s Noodle and Campfire’s Huckleberry, wishing they were at ACBA Specialty this weekend! Good luck 🍀 to everyone that has pigs entered! I can’t wait to see pics and results 🥰

04/14/2024

Celtic Caviary’s Jameson’s Irish (“Jamie”) is learning some table manners today and he isn’t too sure about it (peep the side eye 👀😂).

04/14/2024

Love this baby. So much for not keeping another heavily marked boar 🥲 he is showable, but barely. I have a lightly marked bi-color sow planned for his future 💕
