Welcome to the Rare Varieties Cavy Club
In 1967 all varieties of cavy accepted by the National Cavy Club had their own specialist club, except the Tortoiseshell and the Brindle. It was then that the Rare Varieties Cavy Club (RVCC) was formed to cater for these breeds and renew interest in them, also providing a club for further new breeds that might develop.
The club now caters for the Tri and Bicolours, Satin, Argente, Harlequin, Magpie, Ridgeback, Belted, Swiss, Chinchilla, Lunkarya, Caramel, Self Blue, and Californian .
Area Shows are held at venues around the country, with usually at least seven shows held annually. Points are awarded to Breed winners at these shows Also separate Points Shows will be taking place again in 2018, at different clubs around the country. These Points will be included in the final total at the end of the year. Medals/trophies are awarded to the winners and will be presented at the following AGM.
Championship Certificates are awarded to cavies winning five first prizes under club rules.
Club officials are elected biennially. The RVCC Standards Committee is elected to deliberate on and present breed standards to the British Cavy Council for approval via the club BCC Representative.
The club provides articles and notes for the ‘Cavies’ magazine and for publication via the club’s website. The RVCC Handbook is usually updated every two years, and this is free to members.
Through our official procedures many of the varieties that are so popular today have been launched into the cavy fancy.
