Our Chins are fully pedigreed and come from the Ed Toebbe/ Reichert line, with some influence from the Herman Young, Marvin Richardson, and Clayton Stevens lines. We do not breed to the show table trends. We choose our breeding herd based on the SOP as outlined by ARBA for type and form, and we cull for temperament, mothering ability, hardiness, and growth rate. We believe in conserving the traditional American Chinchilla Rabbit.
About the Breed:
The Am. Chinchilla is a beautiful breed of rabbit known for its luxurious fur, which widely impacted the fur industry in the early 1900s. They are considered a very good meat rabbit and are listed on the Slow Food's Ark of Taste as "medium boned with a deep loin and broad shoulders that produce good meat proportions on finished rabbits. They are easily dressed and their meat is considered to be of good quality and taste." They're listed on Watch on The Livestock Conservancy priority list. They are noted for fast growth, docile temperament, and good meat-to-bone ratio. Does are efficient producers and good mothers; they have excellent milking capabilities. Am. Chinchillas are shown as a class six rabbit, reaching a mature weight of 9-11 pounds for bucks and 10-12 pounds for does.
