I have a few pictures of my stock, and I thank Matthew of
Renaissance Cavies for his generosity in allowing me to use the first few I am posting here.  As Curacao babies are born I will be posting pictures of them with details.

Double Champion  
Renaissance Grey Pearl
A perfect example of the breed.   "Pearly" as she has become fondly known is currently preparing for the Australian National Show where she will defend her 1998 Best Dutch in Show title.Pearl achieved Bob at the National, but it was a very hot day & was unable to continue on for the Best Dutch class :(
Grey Pearl is a Cinnamon Agouti with perfect footstops, symmetrical cheek circles and a good saddle and undercut.  She is a large typey sow which is testament to the work done by Mathew with NZ Imports rather than local stock (which tend to be smaller in size) Pearl has since passed on due to cancer in the uterus, she is sadley missed

A front view of Grey Pearl, note the symmetry of her cheek circles and her excellent blaze.

Renaissance Pearl Necklace
A Chocolate Dutch (my only one) who is also superbly marked.  Not surprisingly as she is Pearly's daughter!  Lace is a real favourite as she has a temperament and personality which has endeared herself to us.  She is my wifes favourite, and as such is increasing her show appearances.  She began her show career with a Best of Breed.  She is also preparing for the National Show, and in the interim will be shown at our local shows.The National has since gone & Lace achieved Bob in the AOV Dutch class.

Renaissance Lemon Edition
Edition is a Lemon Agouti Dutch who is show marked.   As far as I know he is one of the very few Lemon Agouti Dutch in Australia and once again is testament to the work done by Mathew with the breed.
Edition is currently being shown locally to promote his colour.  He is still a junior and I look forward to showing him as an adult as he is developing good confirmation.

Double Champion 
Renaissance Silver Dust
Another outstandingly marked Dutch.  Dusty is a Silver Agouti who produces excellent offspring and has done exceedingly well during his show career.  He is currently running with a couple of sows and consequently not being shown at the moment.  I am extremely pleased to have been given the opportunity to breed my own stock with such a fine boar.

Renaissance Royal Ambition
Ami is not being shown at the moment as she is expecting.  She is a beautifully marked Golden Agouti Dutch who has done exceedingly well on the show table.  Her pregnancy has briefly interrupted her quest for her championship, but she will be appearing at the National Show. Ami is mated to a NZ imported boar who has a history of siring excellent babies so we are excited about that.

Renaissance Amber Nova
Nova is a show marked Cream Agouti Dutch who has done well both on the table and in the breed pen.  He has fathered or grandfathered all of my Cream Agoutis who are of good colour, markings and type.

Renaissance Silver Star
Star is another show marked sow, this time a Silver Agouti.  Star is currently rearing a pair of Black Dutch babies before returning to the table for show.  She was mated to Silver Dust and has produced two nice babies - Curacao Archeus and Ambrosia.
Curacao Courtiaire is doing very well in his showing career, with Bob at the 2001 Royal Bob at our local show & Bob at Gosford Ag Show. His next trip is to the Victorian State Titles.
Parents are:Sire: Renaissance Dutch Dominance
Dam: Renaissance Royal Destiny
