Welcome To Angel's Chin Site!

This is my site dedicated to my chinchillas. I have been breeding chins for many years now. I do try to be active in the show ring, showing whenever I can. I have, however decided to take a break from showing as I am taking more time to be with my son and I have taken on more responsibilities with the Atlantic Chapter and there York, PA Show. If you do attend the York, PA show in April be sure to stop by the registration table and show table to say hi!

My goal is to breed for the highest quality, to help better the genes out there. I do breed for show, and have many pets available. I try to do my best and help people when and where I can. If you have any questions, PLEASE I urge you to ask....

Just recently, my herd suffered a great loss. I am trying to rebuild what was lost, but at the moment and the near future will not have much 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 line. While I know this is very difficult, most chins in my herd are sapphire or sapphire carriers. Over the past few years my Standard sc's are exreamly strong. I have defenatly reached my goal with them in a shorter time that what I thought it would take. I just need to expand it!

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), 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! I do want to send a special thanks to Trinity from Purple Sage Chinchillas. I was able to acquire a very select line of ebonys from her that have been an excellent addition!

Sapphires are not the only thing that I breed. I do have Standards, Black Velvets, Beiges, whites, and Ebonies. I stared out saying that I would never get back into the beige line, but low and behold when mixed with the other two mutations, they created a special color that I holds a place in my heart and herd.

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