Capital Cavy Club Helps Host Nationwide Guinea Pig Double Show 2025
We are excited to share that Capital Cavy Club will be helping to run the New Zealand Nationwide Guinea Pig Double Show 2025, alongside our friends at North Canterbury Guinea Pigs. This is the biggest event of the year for cavies in New Zealand, and we’re proud to play our part in making it a success.
The show will take place on Saturday, 11th October 2025, at the Upper Hutt Uniting Parish, 1 Benzie Avenue, Upper Hutt.
This full-day event brings together guinea pig owners, breeders, and enthusiasts from across the country. Visitors can enjoy two major shows in one: the Pedigree Guinea Pig Show, highlighting the very best cavies bred to national standards, and the Pet Guinea Pig Show, where family pets take centre stage for their charm, personality, and uniqueness.
As a club based in Wellington, Capital Cavy Club is proud to represent our region and support the wider cavy community. Whether you’re an experienced exhibitor, a new guinea pig owner, or just curious, the Nationwide Double Show is a wonderful opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate these amazing animals.
We look forward to welcoming you on the day for what promises to be the biggest and cutest guinea pig event in New Zealand.
