Welcome to Border Skinnies
My name is Helen Smith and I have been caring for and breeding hairless guinea pigs for 6 years together with one of my very best friends, Graham Southern.
I am based in Gretna, Scotland and live at The Mill Hotel (www.themill.co.uk) which is a wedding venue hotel surrounded by stunning countryside. Graham is based in Alston.
I am married and have a young son and my hobbies include walking, reading, horseriding and of course my guinea pigs
Both Graham and I have owned hairless (or skinny) guinea pigs now for some considerable time and we are very proud of the piggies we have bred and the quality of our lines. All carrier and hairless guinea pigs have a full breeding history which is of course available should you wish to purchase one of our Skinny Pigs.
Of course all our hairless guinea pigs are kept indoors - in fact all our guinea pigs are kept indoors.
We do on occasion have hairless guinea pigs for sale but these are a very specialised breed and do have very particular needs so please do ensure you are knowledgeable about the breed before embarking on acquiring one.
We hope you enjoy our website.
Helen. xx
