Oh, gosh! Where to start... I had been looking into chins for a couple years now, earning money, buying supplies, researching... It's all important to do before buying any pet. After all that was done, I started to talk my parents into letting me buy one. Their first reaction to anything is "No", but after many months of persisting, I got my first chin a couple days ago. His name is Levi, and he's the cutest baby chin I've ever seen. (When buying a chin, especially at a pet store, you'll want to look at their fur, eyes, nose, feet, etc. To ensure you'll get a healthy one, as most pet stores are in it for the profit.)
A couple pluses for Levi:
-He loves to cuddle. That's not so common in chins from what I've heard. (Watch the employee, or breeder handle them before choosing. You'll want to see if they bite.)
-He doesn't bite (Exception to nibbles)
-He loves his playtime, and his treats
-He's sweet and very loyal
-And he doesn't take that long to adapt.
Aside from that, you'll get the basics (Ie. Doesn't smell, really soft, etc.)
Some cons:
-Loud at night (He chirps, which is amusing at times, scary at night
)
-His poo gets pretty messy
-Expensive
-Can hop right out of his playpen =D
Now, there are cons with every pet, so know that none of us are trying to talk you out of getting one, we just want you to know all that comes with chins. Overall, he's worth the cons. Do you already have pets? What got my parents into buying one for me, was I showed them my responsibility by taking great care of my current pets.
:thumbsup: Keep at it! Levi and I wish you luck! =)
