Getting Started

[The1nOnlyMatty]

So I just wanted to post and maybe get some input. What is the best way to get started in doing Chin Shows? Are they something that is more geared for breeders as opposed to just the average Joe? If not where is the best place for me to start? I see people posting about chapters and so forth. I'm in South East Virginia, so don't know really where I fall on that. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

Going to a show is the best place to start. Here are the web sites of both chin organizations in the US.

Both organizations welcome anyone interested in learning about chins.

Lots of pet owners show their chins and have lots of fun doing it. They learn how to groom and get a kick out of it if their chin does well, and don't really care if they don't.

Thanks for the info! I will check out both sites. Hopefully I can get to one to observe sooner than later.
