The detail
The Silkie, called the Sheltie in Britain, is a long-haired guinea pig whose soft coat sweeps back from the head without a part, so the face stays clear. The coat is easier to see through than a Peruvian's but still needs daily brushing and trims.
What to weigh
Long hair means daily brushing, trims around the rear, and bedding that does not tangle in the coat. Skipping it leads to mats, soiling and missed weight loss.
