Looking for breeders site and names on my ped

[Anne-Lise]

Hi guys!
I need your help a bit. I'm studying my 2 new chins' pedigree and I want to contact the breeders they come from. I have found a directory but can't find the place they mention the letters they're registered under. Note that both were bred by the Ryerson, I'm studying what's before in the lines.

McGrady - can't find his website or email.

Who's PBM? (it's written PBML-13 so I guess L and 13 are for the chin itself?)

When I have L-979A, what is the A for? And T1-954, why the 1 after the T?

Who's TKAD?

And QS?

Thanks :thumbsup:

PBM is Bob Myers. He died several years ago.

McGrady is also no longer alive.

QS is Vin Somavia

Sometimes an A gets added to a number because you found a kit you missed when you were counting, or somehow didn't get them on the list.

Wow all right... sorry for McGrady and Myers.....
Do you have any idea who bought some of the herd?
Maybe I should start another post on that?

I looked on the web and can't seem to find the contact information for Vin Somavia. Any of you could gime me the way to contact them on pm?

The Ryersons started adding a 1 after the year letter because the pedigree program they use does not allow them to repeat animals, and they have already cycled through 20 years with this program. So in order to make the program think they are not duplicating animals from 20 years ago, they added the 1.

Somavia's information in on the ECBC website: http://www.empresschinchilla.org/organization.asp

Here is also a useful listing of ranch brands: http://www.rivendellchinchillas.com/ranch_brands.htm#T
