Swiss are very laid back, friendly, and love human interaction.
****From the history of Swiss teddies
To calculate the country of origin of these cute guinea pigs, you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes: the indication of their homeland is right in the name of the breed. Yes, it was in Switzerland that these pigs were born at the end of the last century as a result of an independent recessive mutation in the process of crossing an American teddy with a rex. This version of the origin looks the most plausible, although it is disputed in some sources. In a word, it is impossible to say with 100% certainty where the Swiss teddies came from. But in any case, the result was so successful that the Swiss teddy soon spread throughout Europe. Thus, this breed is one of the newest breeds of guinea pigs and its history is only about 30 years old. The gene for this breed is called the Swiss teddy gene and is designated CHTg.Swiss teddies are a fairly well-known breed, but despite this, in some countries you will not find Swiss teddies with fire during the day, for example, in the same Great Britain. Although in most other European countries, these pigs are widespread. In some countries, Swiss teddies have received official recognition and breed standards have been developed for them.
***Contrary to what google says you can not get a swiss by crossing 2 other breeds. They are their own breed. They are fairly new to the United States and are not showable at this time.
***A swiss is a rexoide semi long haired cavy. They tend to molt at regular intervals from front to back often ending up with longer hair on the rump during their molts. Light brushing will help the process along.
