Acquired as part of a family group consisting of Bob, Bonny, Barley, Mallow & Rose. All were in cramped quarters and needing some love and attention. I had originally gone to view them as they were listed as from show stock - and the quality of the fur suggests that they could well have been - but their recent treatment did not show up their quality to its best. The pictures above do not fully do justice to how well they look now - having been taken not long after their arrival.
Upon arrival at Green Wood, Barley and Mallow were separated into a cage of their own away from mum and dad and their younger sister.
Bonny is a very docile chin - not given to great bursts of activity and tends to like to just squat and do nothing - for HOURS!!!! Mind you having had these two lots of kits so close together she probably deserves a rest. There's a fair chance she could already be pregnant again as the father remained with her when Rose was born so that is something to put a stop to for her as soon as possible.
Her coat is really thick and plush despite the run down appearance she had when she arrived - and she seem to pass this thickness on to her offspring. She is a very good chin to sit and comb with your fingers as she seems to relax to the stroking movements.
Bonny and Bob went off to live with Val in Canvey Island following the recovery from Bobs operation.
Kits to date:
Barley (Hetro Beige) and Mallow (Pink White)
Rose (Hetro Beige)
