    Selling diseased animals

    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...

    Selling diseased animals

    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...

    Selling diseased animals

    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...

    Selling diseased animals

    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...

    Selling diseased animals

    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...

    Selling diseased animals

    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...

    Heartland Group Fall Field Day - Oct 19, 2013 - Burlington, KS

    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...

    First White Diamond Born In US

    Ryan, Whites and Black Velvets are the only other colors I'm incorporating into my BD lines. I have no interest in crossing ebonies with my BD's. I know of others that are and I have no problems with them doing it. It's just not something I want to do with mine. The Denmark BD lines are pure and...

    First White Diamond Born In US

    I think it really depends on the number of Blue Diamonds that show up at shows. If there becomes more Blue Diamonds consistently showing up at shows then either Violets or Sapphires, then they should have their own color classification. If there are 5 Violets, 3 Blue Diamonds, and 2 Sapphires at...

    First White Diamond Born In US

    I know Niels has shown his Blue Diamonds in both Denmark and Germany but, I do not know how their show system works. I do believe in the future here in the US as more breeders produce Blue Diamonds and they become more common at the shows, they will be given their own seperate class.

    First White Diamond Born In US

    Yes, that is true that Blue Diamonds do not yet have their own class at shows. However, a Blue Diamond wrap would be judged separately as a wrap (whether it be with a Sapphire wrap or a Violet wrap or individually as a Blue Diamond wrap if it was the only wrap there) before competing for...
