Introduction

[MadNes]

Hi there everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Shane Madden and I live in Calgary Alberta Canada.

I am a small hobby breeder that is consisting of 12 chins right now. Me and a few other breeders are going to try and start a chapter here in Canada to bring the chinchilla shows back up here.

Thanks
Shane

What got you into breeding chins? What are your goals?

 

[MadNes]

I want to start a chapter here in Canada as well as shows. I used to have 4 chins when I was younger that I bred and adored. I am looking to breed for distinction and quality to help eliminate the flooding of generic chins in the market. By having a chapter here and shows will not only show the great production of breeders and their herds and also be informative to everyone else that does not know about chins and how breeding and caring for them properly with only make the species a better quality eliminating genetic defects.

Thank you for sharing this. What do you mean by 'generic' chins and 'distinction and quality' ? I noticed that your chins represent a wide range of colour mutations, including some that are quite hard to work with. Do you have specific goals relating to your various mutations?

It would be great to have shows actively happening in Canada. Have you been to many in the states?
