Welcome To Angel's Chin Site!

Welcome to my site. Here you can get a small glimps at my herd, my breeding goals, shows and activities I will be attending, and of course.... what I have for sale.

The picture above shows two of my favorite chins, Princess (sapphire) and BearBear (TOV Eb sapphire carrier). I chose them for the front page, because Princess, who started out as only a pet won many awards. At York 05', she won Color Phase Champion, as well as Color Section Champion. She did give me one male kit, Noble Bear (Noble) who I will show when he is old enough. Sadly, Princess was put down after Noble was weaned due to health problems. That is where BearBear picked up the role where she left off. BearBear is the father of Noble. When I had Princess put down, BearBear stayed in with Noble as a companion. These two are very special to me. They have a strong connection with Princess and remind me of every joyous day I had with her. BearBear passed a little over a year later and never produced since the one litter with Princess. Princess and BearBear, You are greatly Missed.

Princess - August 04' to Feb 06'

BearBear - Sept 04' to July 07' 

Currently, I am striving toward improving the sapphire color. This is done by selectively breeding some of the best standards to sapphires, and hoping for outstanding chinchillas that carry the sapphire gene. These carriers will then be bred to other carriers to hopefully produce some outstanding sapphires. This will take quite a while, but the reward is worth it.

Right now I mainly have standard to standard breeding or standard to sapphire breedings; though I do have a few whites and ebonys. I am hoping to pick up a beige at the next show.  

I am grateful to the people who have allowed me access to there knowledge on the sapphire mutation. I would like to thank a few of the people/ranchers who have taken the time to spread their knowledge to me: Thank you Dave and Chris Woods (WhiteWoods Chinchilla ranch - sadly they have retired), Ryersons, Megan, and all the others! There are too many to list! You do not know how much I have enjoyed and learned from our talks and conversations! 

This is a work in progress for me. It may take a while to completely get it up and running. Please bear with me!
