The Peruvian cavy was the first long-haired breed accepted by the American Rabbit Breeders Association, Inc.

This breed is notable for it's long, dense, soft "sweeps" of hair which can grow out to several inches in length.

The Peruvian has a "frontal" of hair, which grows forward, covering it's head, giving it an even,

circular appearance when an animal in full show coat is groomed out properly.
