Chinnies.Com got off to a running start when we purchased a small herd of chins from a nearby breeder whose family committments made it necessary for them to give up their chin hobby. The herd contained extremely nice standards, many originating from Bowens (Neubauer) lines and Royal Oaks (Baar) lines, as well as "a little bit of everything" in mutation colors -- mosaics, beiges, ebonies, and TOVs.

Our focus has changed over time, and we are now concentrating on Violets and Sapphires, (but still including whites and ebonies) and working in conjunction with QED Chinchillas, especially with the sapphires. We entered our first home-bred sapphire in competition in April 07, coming home with a 2nd place ribbon and exellent comments about the fur on the exhibition animal.

We plan to have additional sapphires ready for competition this coming November!
