A note from our judge for Nationwide.
My name is Emily Vince I am from Hobart Tasmania. I have been breeding and showing cavies since i was 11. I formed Bakerville cavy stud with my family in 1987. We started with 3 pets a self buff, Poppy, a red dutch, Geraldine and a coronet, Daisy. From there my passion took off gaining more guinea pigs Abyssinians and self goldens. I have had most breeds and when i was old enough i started training to become a judge. I have stayed involved even when studying and living at the other end of the state. This year marked my 37th year of being involved in cavies. This is my first overseas trip and I am looking forward to travelling with my 2 sons and sister to New Zealand. I am looking forward to meeting you all and look forward to judging your cavies.

Spotlight on the Sponsor | Topflite

A huge THANK YOU to Topflite for their generous sponsorship and steadfast support for the Nationwide Cavy Show 2023. 🙏 Your contribution not only elevates the event but also highlights the importance of quality nutrition for our furry friends. 🐹💕

A little bit about Topflite - In 1975 our farm began growing sunflowers. 🌻 Since then, our business has grown, our family has grown, and our reputation for healthy, wholesome feed has grown too. 🌱 Ensuring this growth continues means holistically caring for our land and crops, keeping an eye on the big picture and understanding our responsibility for future generations. 🌍

The unique and beautiful animals within our forests, backyards and homes are hugely important to Kiwis everywhere. We nourish them with our seed and through our food. The pure, unsullied nature of this food can make a big difference to their health and to the quality of their lives. 🐾

Good-natured animals deserve great-natured feed.

Sweet and sociable by nature, guinea pigs are endearing additions to a household. 🐹 Before bringing them home though, you need to know how to cater for their specific and varied diet. Grown, prepared and packed in New Zealand, Topflite crops provide premium nutrition and taste for your cuddly companions. 🥕
