Part two... BREEDERS, when did you first get into chins, perhaps a pet or what not, and you NOW breed.

Please post what age group you first got chins, and then how long you've been breeding.

Thank you!

EDIT: Sorry for the typo, the last selection in each group should say Breeding for 5+ years. NOT under. I'm hoping to get it corrected, sorry for the confusion!

I was 12 when I purchased my first pets. Started breeding at 14, and have been breeding for about 8 years now.
 
I was just barely 16 when I got my first chinchilla and started breeding at 17 a year and a half later
 
I was 13 when my first chin was given to me. Breeding pairs were given to me a year later. I've been breeding chins for 12 years.
 
I was 32 years old when I got my first two chins from a petstore and started breeding five years later. I have been breeding for 11 years now.

I was 34 when I got my first 2 chins (for kids) in 2005 from another breeder, and started breeding a year later in late 2006, and have been breeding since.
 
I was 18 when I got my first pet that was six years ago. I bought 2 breeding males in 2008.
 
i read it wrong....
i got my first chin when i was 15 and have been breeding 5+ years but i voted on the 23-30 breeding 5+
