Kalusha's Cavies
Specialist Breeder of Lunkarya & Peruvians
Meet the Lunkarya Boars
The Lunkarya's are a New Emerging Variety ('Rare breed') and faced with a long challenge to be awarded the Guide Standard status. They have a laid-back nature and the characteristic 'electrocuted' hairstyle never fails to go un-noticed. I have finally found the breed for me.
The first Lunkarya I came across was on Carmen Langstadtler's amazing website. Since then I have been captivated by this breed and searched everywhere for them! Our first Lunkarya's came from Sabrina Green in August 2007. Then we had four imported from Germany in September 2007 and a further four from Belgium in October 2007. All our thanks go to Denise (Graphite Cavies) for making that possible. Having reached our second generation, we imported eleven more from Holland ourselves in June 2009.
Regarded as the most successful Lunkarya breeders, Carmen and Iris Langstadtler, first imported the breed (from their native Sweden) in March 2004. It is possible to follow the pedigree back to these original Lunkarya. Most of our Lunkarya are from Carmen and Iris's breeding lines.
*The Lunkarya have been presented to the RVCC and have been given the New & Emerging Status*

1 1/2 year old cream agouti, cream and white lunkarya boar. My second generation. Son to Drops and Curly. A lilac carrier. His coat is one of the harshest I have felt, so I am very pleased with him. Very cheeky natured as he knows he is fab!! I would have loved to have shown him, but he is a bit too friendly!! Father to 'Mille', 'Qai Qai' and 'Sasa-Harley'. Also just fathered a litter with Kaylee.
