Hi I am wondering what are the qualifications to show chins and when will the next show be next yr or this yr??? Is it hard or alot of working getting ready to start showing??
Thanks for any help Gloria
For the MCBA National show you have to be a member of the MCBA to show a chinchilla. You don't necessarily need to be a member to show a chin at one of the chapter shows. Generally most shows happen annually. I don't know the exact date of the next national show, but there is a show in Wisconsin on October 1st http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24719.
Here's a thread on grooming chins which will get you started on how to prepare them to be shown.
