The most famous DUTCH cavy would have to be Rodney (from the Dr Dolittle film staring Eddie Murphy). A dutch consists of two colours - white and another. This second colour must conform to the regular self or agouti colour standard.
The rump end of the cavy is coloured with a clean straight line between the two colours, with the hind toes being white. The shoulders and neck are white with a white blaze, with two "cheek markings" around the eyes and ears being the same colour as the rump.
An example of how hard it is to get a showable dutch, if one of the back toes is not white - the cavy is disqualified.
