Since the Swiss has been taken 'under the wing' of the RVCC, the RVCC & BCC have now created 'Official Guidance' for Breeders & Judges for the Swiss as follows. This is to be handed to the show secretary so that they can place it in the judges book New Varieties : Guidance
for Breeders & Judges
Swiss A Coated Cavy with a medium length coat that stands erect
with a plush texture. The hair must be thick and regular all over the body of
the cavy; the length is +-6cm, and soft & plush and yet firm. The hairs on
the stomach are curled. Swiss can be shown in any colour or combination of
colours
Below is something I personally have written as Guidance for judges for the SATIN Swiss, the Lunkarya & the Curly . They are not in any way approved by or connected to the RVCC or the BCC. They are purely my own views as to what I personally am aiming for and would use to give to judges to explain my aims in the breeds Satin Swiss Lunkarya A longhaired cavy in the Peruvian model to have all the qualities of the Peruvian with the exceptions of the coat which should be as harsh as possible. The coat is curly in a ringletted fashion (not crimped) and the curl should not be groomed out. A young Lunkarya may have a softer coat than an adult and this should be taken into account. The Lunkarya should be shown presented on a board The
