Oh. I wasn't sure if it was that or not. It's so hard to tell over this darn computer!

We need a good picture or two of each of the following so we can add it to Josephines thread on the different guinea pig coats.

Here is a list to start off with (do not post pictures except on this thread) and please only submit a link if possible
so it wont take up too much room and Lynx won't get upset with us. Also because I do not know, when you post a picture or link please say which of the below the picture should be in.

I ask people who know for sure to post as that way we wont get too many. We need pictures as a reference to go with Jo's descriptions to make up the reference link she is doing.

I have several photo's which if you give me time to find in my picture archives, my parent's once owned a Magpie (manchester harlequinn), red/brown/black Agouti and a Silver/grey Agouti. I personally own a TSW, 1 lilac thingy and Sooty, I'm not sure of his breed markings to be honest. just give me a day or so and I'll come back to this thread.

Picadilly is an American satin:

Not the greatest pic, I'll try to get more single shots of him in good lighting.

Thanks Jennicat & Tracis

Jenn who is that in the picture? (Very pretty) Oops I see it is Picadilly. Thanks


To all: It would be wonderful if sending a pciture of your own pigs to tell me their names too (always nice when we see a name) not required for the project just nice all the same in my opinion.

If I start posting pics of satins, I'd like them to be as shiny as possible. I really have trouble seeing the sheen on Picadilly, although I'm sure he's gorgeous in real life.

Yes, posting links is THE best way. I hate having to wait for tons of pics to load on a thread.

I really need GOOD pics. Good lighting, composition, etc. I could easily take tons of bad pics (I have a ton myself), but since this is for a reference, I would like them to be as sharp as possible, with a good view of most of the pig (side or 3/4 views are probably the best).
