does your show chins have to be pedigree and if your not breeding pedigree chins can you eventually make your chins pedigreed? i understand that the ones you orignally start out with will never have a pedigree just curious let me know thanks  |

That's great!! I didn't know that show chins do not need a pedigree either. There are some really nice looking chins out there that do not have a pedigree. Of course, we all know if you don't know the history, you really shouldn't breed them, but it's ok to show them? Is that right? I'm confusing myself.........

Chinchillas aren't pedigreed like dogs and other animals. Any chinchilla can be shown you just need to know its color and birthday. If its under 8 months you really need an exact date but if its well over 8 months old a general estimation should be fine. This is because under 8 months chinchillas are still growing and changing and so age can make a difference of how its judged. Once they are full grown what you see is pretty much what you get.  |

Each show is different. You can usually show up and register at the door but most have pre-registration which is cheaper.

You just show up usually to show you have to be a member but you can usually become a member at the shows. then there is a fee usually it is 5.00 per animal shown. It is a great experiance but older chinchillas tend to oxidize and don't do as well most show chinchillas are between 8-14 months of age. I would go to a show and watch if you have the opportunity to it can be a lot of fun
