The breeds in this class all have "ticking" on their coats. What this means is each hair shaft is one colour, with the tip of every hair being a different.

There are two different type of ticked cavies:
The AGOUTI breeds all have dark eyes and skin pigment, as well as dark undercolour - chocolate or black.
The ARGENTE breeds all have pink eyes and light skin pigment - beige or lilac.
As all the ticked breeds have the same requirement and standard (point allocation). So when reading up on the individual breed information, it will just list the desired colour and differences.
