What do you do at the chin shows? csn you just bring a chin and show it even though your not selling it? and if you don't have chin to show can you just go and meet other chin owners and breeders? and buy stuff???

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

yes to both questions

 

[mishalaa]

Only at claim shows do you have to put a price on your chin - this show is not a claim show so you can enter your chin without having to sell it. And yes, you can come to the show without showing anything. If you're coming to meet other owners and breeders, it would be better to come early like during grooming - once the show starts everyone is supposed to be pretty quiet so people can hear the comments from the judges. But everyone is generally pretty friendly if you're not too shy to introduce yourself. =) There will be at least one person selling items at this show, maybe a couple more - and if there's a chin you find you like, there's no harm in asking the owner if it's for sale. =)

I might be interested in making a day of it and driving up.
Who's going to be there selling supples?
What's going to be included in the "Chinese Auction"?

man if it were ever the same weekend as the Sheep and Wool festival up that way I'd be there in a flash.

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

usually there is food, dust, and supplement. I think I am going to go out and buy a nice set of towels-haven't decided for sure though. Last year there wasn't much so hopefully more this year.

[threewingedfury]

I'll be selling supplies there this year.

 

[Rob Walker]

can anyone enter a chinchilla? I'd love to show off my Neve

 

[mishalaa]

Yes, anyone can show, but if you plan on entering her you may want to start dusting her every night! I start dusting every night for just a few minutes four weeks before the show, and stop three days before the show.

 

[Rob Walker]

I usually dust her 3 days a week, I'm sure my little doll would love the extra time in the bath.

It's funny, I live in Kingston, and I had no idea this ever went on in the town next to me, so I have no idea what to expect..
