Some chins just always chew and shake the bars, it is their way of getting attention. If you are reacting to it, they are getting exactly what they want! :) I know it is hard to ignore as I have one chin that I give an apple stick to every time she does it, I know I have reinforced her...

Agreed, I buy several bales at a time and store it in a dry clean basement, on a shelf with air holes punched in shrink wrap (the way it is baled), haven't had a problem with this method in over 5 years.

It is normal for there to be times of day when there is more poop than others. It typically coincides with times of the day where they are more active or eating/drinking more. I find that new owners freak out if they are not regular little poop pez dispensers but as long as they are regularly...

Just an FYI - you can get 12x12 (or larger) granite or marble tiles at most home improvement stores. Most stores will make one cut for free, if you have them cut the tile in half, you have two chin chillers for generally less than the cost of one chin chiller purchased from a pet store. My...

Cheryl I only shared the half with chin poop all over it. No biggie, anything for you!

Many details weren't posted. This show seems to be by word of mouth mostly. The advertisement for it in the MCBA magazine indicated to call Jan Ryerson with any questions.

Size doesn't affect cuddling! :) That will be the least of your worries. You will be surprised, I put tiny males weighing 600 gms with humongous 1200 gm chins all the time.

Shannon it is not unusual to hear that a chin purchased from a breeder that actively shows ends up being much larger than a chin bought as a pet from a pet store or hobby breeder (or rescue). It doesn't always happen as we all have ones that will be small genetically from time to time, but most...

Boo Christiane!!! But I do understand. I wouldnt either except its so close.

Just a shout out to see who is planning on attending and what are you showing? Just ten days away! I for one am looking forward to this show as it means the end to daily dusting for a few months! ;)

Just a disclaimer regarding Tiffany posting the results I gave on FB. I notated that they were the results from my notes taken during the show and not anything "official" from the awards table. Hopefully there aren't any mistakes, if there are and anyone notices them, please feel free to...

He already looks like he is being spoiled rotten Shannon! Glad he found a good home! :)
