Thank you Juanita! Congrats to all the exhibitors!

Does anyone have class results and number of animals shown that they can post from this show?

On my friends herd, the current one I'm monitoring, no he has not had any tested. There has been 2 others that I personally talked to that have had animals tested at university labs. I have not seen those results personally, only have visited with them about it and was told that the results were...

There are a lot of questions still out there regarding this disease. Unfortunately, I don't have all the answers to your questions. I still have many questions I would like to gather more good information on. A lot of the problems with what is being assumed about this disease is what has been...

http://suite101.com/a/chinchillas-and-the-strangles-a282106 Here is my feelings after reading this article. The findings were stated as streptococcus bacteria. It does not state anywhere that it was tested and verified to be the exact same strep strain as strep equi in horses. My feeling is...

Dawn, I have not been able to verify that this strep bacteria in chinchillas is the exact same strain as strep equi in horses. The breeder's that I've talked to all indicated to me that their lab results were streptococcus bacteria similar to what is commonly found in horses. That's all I was...

Some additional notes: All of the breeder's that I talked to that have dealt with this in their herds were very adamant about how they would never want to give this to anyone else because of their animals being sick. All of them stopped selling chins and attending any shows while they were...

Last March I picked up about 30 chinchillas for a friend of mine that lives about 2 hours away from me. He hadn't brought in any new chins into his herd in about 15 years and contacted me to see if I could get him some new bloodlines to work with. I contacted 2 other larger breeder's and was...

This show is only 2 days away. There will be several very nice chins for sale, usually prices range from $75-$300. Even if the chin you like is not priced on the silent auction, it never hurts to ask the owner if it's for sale. In the Spring show here, I sold one of my class champion females for...

Try messaging Ashley (Goldenchinchillas) on here. She's a small breeder in the Denver area and might have something available. I believe she has a website also.

I have a few 10-12 week old Blue Diamond males available right now. PM me for more details.

I don't have all the class results from the show since I was handling animals. We had about 65 total animals shown and had a very competitive show with a lot of real good quality animals. Results I have: Grand Show Champion Mark Miller (standard) Reserve Grand Show Bob Merritt (standàrd) 3rd...
