NSWCC had their final show for the year last weekend and I couldn't be happier with my results - the highlight being my black roan Malibu Chey's on Point winning BEST IN SHOW 🥳🥳 - over the years I've had a few RIS with black roans, but this was my first ever Best! I placed BOB in each of my breeds in both shows, and here are my in show awards.

What a great way to finish the year at NSW Cavy Shows🥳🥳🥳

No wonder mum was so large giving birth to these chunky bubs. Less than 24 hours old and they're up and running around, nibbling on the fresh hay I've just given mum, with one bub snacking on dry mix in the food bowl 🥰

2 more lovely chocolate agouti sows - that's only sows in my last 4 agouti litters.

There was a 3rd unfortunately DOA of equal size, so all up she would have been carrying 400g+ of babies!

🥳🥳 I've been waiting with bated breath for this litter and Poppy & Magik once again didn't disappoint. This gorgeous singleton is full sister to National RIS winner "Malibu Cheys on Point". After seeing how lovely she was I decided to re-pair her parents back together in January and it has taken this long for mum to finally fall pregnant!

I have named her "Cheys Got Grace", after my late grandmother whos birthday she was born on.

And for those asking... yes, shes staying.

Umm.... no comment.All I know is I have more than I should, but less than most other studs 🤭

Cheys on Point would like to congratulate her sister on the delivery of a healthy litter.... but has put in a request for the 'roan' babies to have a bit more white next time 🤭🤭🤭 (pictured here with her new nephew)

If anyone is after a black boar (roan breeding) it seems I may have a few available soon 🤣

Naww, got to see 4 of these golden bubbas being born last night, and good timing that I was.

When I went to check them mum had delivered the 2nd at some stage but was busy cleaning the first bub still. 2nd bub was flailing around unable to breathe as mum hadn't removed the sac off its face. So swiftly I reached in and removed the sac, bub was able to take a big breath. It sounded a bit mucousy so I took bub out and gave it a firm massage over the body to stimulate the breathing a bit more and after a few supported 'shakes' was able to clear the liquid from his lungs and he began to breath properly. The remaining 3 bubs were all a bit the same, with mum needing some guidance to break the sac from the faces.

But litter is going great, and as you can see just gorgeous 🥰 one particular boar being a real stunner.

Have had a number of goldens boars born recently so if you're after one for show, breeder (registered studs only) or pet just send me a PM 😊

*edit note* wow, had quite a few messages so quickly, that it is likely any babies born from recent litters that I won't be retaining myself now have homes lined up.

(Another reason why it is important we DO assist sows when needed. There were some comments from my recent video of a sow delivering where I took the sac off the baby'sface when mum failed to do so, with inexperienced people saying that we shouldn't intervene, that 'nature knows what to do' and just leave them be. Sorry, but I'll never leave a baby to die due to an inexperienced mum not being able to correctly care for the baby when needing to.)

Nom nom nom 👅 blep 👅

So giving a heavily pregnant sow in the cage beneath some calcium syrup and old girl Butternut Pumpkin always likes to have a try of whatever is on offer.

I think she's quite a fan 🤭 kept coming back for more

It smells very sweet (like caramel sauce) so wonder if it may have a similar taste 🤔

"WOW" .... the first word spoken from the judge when he looked at my young roan, and the words I keep saying to myself in disbelief and amazement at my results from the Australian National Cavy Show held over the weekend in Dubbo.

When Swedish judge Jens Lindgren judged my roan he actually raised both his hands and did a bow to me, saying she was spectacular and how impressed he was with her, saying she was the total package. Those words just meant so much to me, and absolutely made my day - so the higher results were just the icing on the cake.

I'm still pinching myself at my results, with my Juvenile Black Roan not only winning the BOB in a tough class, but going on to win Best Marked, the perpetual "Elysee Imagine" trophy for the Best Roan in Show, Best Juvenile in Show and RESERVE IN SHOW!

Placings like that for marked animals rarely happens here, let alone at National level, so I am just so happy. Going through the history of the Australian National Show results a marked cavy has only placed in the top 2 twice since the National event begun way back in 1974 (BIS in 1975, and RIS in 1996, both black himalayans) so this is the FIRST time for a Roan to be taking such an award in Australia!

I was also fortunate to receive a special award, from judges Jan and Bertus which is something awarded to Best in Show winners at big European Shows, it is an absolutely beautiful keepsake.

I've been posting here progress since she was born in December, I could not be prouder of "Malibu Cheys on Point.

I took with me 12 cavies to the show, in 11 breeds and walked away with 10 x Best of Breed and 2 x Reserve of Breeds. I could not be happier with my placings and received such fantastic feedback from the judges in each.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and congratulations. It was a wonderful weekend and so great to catch up at a National after a 3 year hiatus.

Thank you also to Major sponsor AubiZoo H**p Bedding AU , this is a product I've been using for some time now in my carry cages for shows and at home - its highly absorbent and helps keep my cavies clean, so I was more than happy to be winning some more at the show to be using!

I was also honoured to be asked to judge the Junior Exhibitor and Novice classes at the show, getting to see some beautiful cavies.🏆

👅 nom nom 👅

With the recent litter of 5 being born (and one being teeny tiny compared to the others) I am helping mum with some milky bread for all to have and also some milk supplement directly to any bub needing.

If I have any warmed milk left over I have a number of older cavies who love it.

This is Lemon Sorbet, she herself had the milk supplement as a newborn and clearly remembers it and still enjoys the taste.

Look at that tongue go! 👅👅

Such a good mum, 5 healthy pups for her first litter 🥰

Update - 5 sows! 2 crested cream agoutis, 2 regular cream agoutis and 1 crested chocolate/agouti dilute.

Looking forward to having a proper look at them once completly dried off, one sow in particular looks to be promising.

We had an incredible weekend away as part of NSWCC & CCCC's two day show being held at Tallong. We had Travis Finkle over from the USA for the first time and Robert Foote as our 2nd judge. Saturday was the "7 Wonders" Show where it was split up into 7 Specialty Breed Group Shows (so no overall BIS winners) and Sunday was the "Cavy Capers Challenge" - with the judges doing different groups on each day.

Over the moon with our results - we took a number of breeds and walked away with multiple BOBs both days, some Best and Reserve in groups as well as best in age groups/sections and a totally unexpected result of Reserve in Show with our young Black Roan🤯 😲!

Cameron also won Best Junior Exhibitor with his self black Calypso 🥰

I tried to get some photos but realised I've forgotten a few 😬

Realised I've been a bit slack lately in posting some results.

I recently attended 2 shows, both of which I received multiple BOBs in the variety of cavies I took so I'll just list below some of the in-show awards. Cameron was unable to attend so no Jnr Exhibitor class and I was able to show his cavies in the standard breed shows

Super happy with how my young roan has gone - entered in 9 shows and won 9 Best Marked awards, 2 Best Baby in Show and a Reserve in Show 🥰

🥳 What an incredible Sydney Royal 2023 for us! 🥳

Cameron was unfortunately unable to make the show so I had the fun task of exhibiting 17 cavies (all different breeds) at each of the shows - thank you to those who helped me in stewarding cavies while I was at a different table and during group lineups where I had a few. Thanks to my mum also for helping in manning the sales table and being my travel companion for our time away.

The guins certainly did us proud! With 4 Best in Group wins and Reserve in Show under Debbie Lawrie and 5 Best in Group, a Reserve in Group and BEST IN SHOW under Andorra, plus 16 BOBs in each show we honestly couldn't be happier with our results.

Calypso won RIS at the 2022 Sydney Royal, this year she did one better with not only repeating her RIS win but also going on to win BIS!

My baby black roan is now also a NSWCC Champion with 6 x BIG and a RIS under her belt whilst still in the baby class.

This makes 7 x BIS and 2 x RIS for us at the Sydney Royal in the last 5 years of exhibiting there! Could not be prouder of my cavies.

I attended the NSWCC's Show at Castle Hill on the 26th March. I judged the main standard breed show so was unable to enter my usual show team, but there was also a 'Baby Bonanza' being held, with Karl Kilpatrick as judge so Cameron and I were able to enter a few of our youngsters.

We placed numerous Best of Breeds and our lovely baby Black Roan "Malibu Cheys on Point" not only won Best Marked but went on to win Reserve in Show!

Because Cameron's usual show team are adults he prepared a few of the babies to show and was delighted to have "Colour Me Choco Skye" our Crested Chocolate baby win Best Crested in a lovely lineup as well as Best Junior Exhibitor.

Colour Me Choc Pudding, my chocolate agouti also won Reserve Ticked

Its always wonderful to attend a show and walk away with unexpected results, they're always the icing on the cake 🥰
