If we could gather a list of good grooming tips other people could use who are just getting into showing. I think it would help if they knew something before going to the show with an unprepared chin, like I did.:dance3:
I got this idea from last year, however I was so mad about it i never put it to words.
If i had known this back then maybe my little guy could have gotten more than a second place at the California State show (ecbc)
Ok so here is my tip.
If a month before showing or just be fore showing, (and correct me if im wrong, but this is the impression I got), your chinchilla slips an awful lot of fur and you see a sizable dent, that while you are grooming them, you should pull out the fur that is growing back (the short hairs) so it doesn't look like he's been chewing, and also when you are combing that spot be sure to comb upwards to "fill" in the spot. This is to show the judge that the chin sliped the fur and did not chew it down.
I hope this helps someone avoid a potential heart break and bad reputation. :tissue:
