Questions about show quality

[ThreeLilChins]

Their are a few terms that I have heard and never fully understood. If anyone could clear it up for it would be appreciated.

The 1st is "loose in the hip"
The other is "wedgie"
 
I have tryed seaching for it on the net but couldn't come up with anything.

The hips are a hard place to keep good fur quality.  The fur tends to not be as tight and will lay down and separate  (hence the term loose)

Wedgie usually refers to a chinchilla that is smaller in the shoulders than in the hips.  This would give him a triangle shape if you were to place it on the floor and look down on it.  These chinchillas usually have a longer nose and a mousy type look.  You want a blocky chinchilla that looks more rectangle with the shoulders as big or almost as big as the hips and no dip in the neck.

Thank you Jamie.

Good questions!  We need to add those to the Dictionary of Chinchilla Terms Thread.   
(under general chat ... hint-hint)
