The Garden City Cavy Club was first formed in 1982 in Christchurch. It is dedicated to all Cavy enthusiasts (Cavy being the correct term for Guinea Pig). We are a family focused Cavy club with a membership made up of adults and juniors spread across the South Island down to Dunedin in the south and Wellington on the North Island. We recognise the governing body for the cavy fancy in New Zealand, the New Zealand Cavy Council. We support our members in the ethical keeping of Guinea Pigs and encourage members in the showing of both purebred and pet animals with the assistance of national body trained and qualified local, and invited judges. The club holds shows six times a year. As the home to past New Zealand National Champion piggies, there is no better knowledge to take advantage of.
If shows are not for you, we also have fun events and socials where piggy experiences are exchanged. The Christmas show and BBQ for members only, is always a popular social occasion. Membership application here.
As with the rest of Christchurch and Canterbury, we are rebuilding and getting back out there. Come back and visit us again and watch us rebuild and grow. Please feel free to get in contact here. We are always happy to meet new piggies and their people.
