For All Pedigree and Pet Guinea Pigs

Independent Cavy Clubs are the only clubs that continue to support our NZ unique pedigree breeds and the exhibitors who wish to breed and show them.

The New Zealand Cavy Judges Association (NZCJA) was formed in 1976 with NZCJA judges officiating at New Zealand cavy shows ever since.

INDEPENDENT NEW ZEALAND CAVY CLUBS

Independent New Zealand Cavy Clubs are clubs which continue to hold shows under the rules and standards of the New Zealand Cavy Judges Association and are independent from the new body which has been formed recently. We hold an annual Nationwide Cavy Show at Labour Weekend which is open to members of any Cavy Club in New Zealand. You can register a Stud Name with us by following the links on this website. There is no annual fee payable, just a once off registration fee.

NEW ZEALAND UNIQUE AND RARE GUINEA PIGS

Guinea Pig (Cavy) Club to support and promote pedigree guinea pig breeds created here in New Zealand.

Our unique breeds were created in recent years and back in the 1970's, with all breeds originated by exceptional New Zealand Cavy Judges (NZJA Judges) who spent several years establishing the special breeds they are today.  The club congratulates them all for their accomplishments.

Connected with Independent Cavy Clubs, members are continuing to breed and exhibit our exclusive guinea pigs, bringing numbers back up and aiming for success in the pedigree main shows.  Independent Cavy Clubs are the only clubs that supports our unique kiwi breeds and exhibitors.  You can not find them anywhere else.
