http://www.chinchillaclub.com/breeder/

I know not everything is up to date but it might give you some options. There is a Canadian section there and a listing for a breeder in Alberta. You might try sending an e-mail since there an e-mail address but there is no website. Even if they are not running they might could give you a good lead.

There used to be a lot more reputable breeders in Alberta but many retired from breeding chinchillas the last few years.

She may have some connections although her ranch is in the Southeastern US. I also checked MCBA and ECBA but it looks like their membership is dwindling. I guess chinchillas are going out of style. Have you tried any of the big ranches to see if they ship like Shoots chinchilla?

Post by: lilchinchilla on June 03, 2012, 02:36:55 AM: It is possible they are not getting back to you because they don't have any available right now. ;) I have none available at this moment for sale, so I cannot ship or provide a chinchilla for anyone at this time. I am surprised Melanie didn't get back to you, as she is usually quick to respond within 24 hours.
