[Gpdd] MISC - what's a bolivian guinea pig?

[Andrew]

Someone mentioned that they have bolivian guinea pigs.  This isn't a breed I seem to have ever remembered hearing about and I was just wondering what they are like.  I've heard of quite a few different types but this isn't one I know.  Could someone describe what they're like?  It may be that I've seen one but didn't realise what it was.  I know a couple of years ago I was looking at a website and saw a guinea pig called, Ithink, a sheba mini yack.  Their description fitted a couple of our previous guinea pigs but at the time I didn't know what they were, we just thought they were perhaps a cross between an abby and a long haired variety.  I'd just like to know a bit more about what this type of guinea pig is like.
