Phoenix-Park Cavies 

Self Black        Jazz Man a better picture will be available soon.

Self Blacks:  These are one of the earliest of the self breeds, so they conform closest to the ideal. In self blacks the cavy must be completely black including pads, eyes and ears. The presence of foreign hairs are penalised.  The ears should be large and drooping and set wide apart with the eyes large and bold.

The coat colour must be consistant, not fading towards the skin.

Crested Black

Picture under way

Crested Blacks:  These cavies must conform to the standard as for the self blacks but also must show a single crest on their forhead.  The crest must radiate from a centre point between the eyes and ears and be a deep rosette with a pin prick centre.  Any foreign hairs in the crest are penalised.
