Our Chins...

We got our first chinchilla, Chippy, back in 1996.  Since then we have moved on to a core herd of 20 breeding adults.  

Our original breeding stock was sourced from the UK's top breeders, Fred Duggins, Paul Spooner and Eddie and Richard Crutchley.  Since then we have built up our herd retaining the best of our award winning chins for our breeding programme.  Our breeding concentrates on Standard greys and also on the dominant mutations, Black Velvet, Wilson White and Beiges.

Our aim is to breed top quality award winning chins in line with the NCS guidlines.  Our chins are exhibted at the shows organised by the National Chinchilla Society.  These shows are split between four regions, the Northern, West Midlands and Wales, Southern and the most recently formed, the Scottish Region.  We are proud to have been at the fore at the creation of the Scottish Region.

To improve the quality of next generation animals we believe in using the very best males, below is our standard males,
