Breeders Codes off Pedigrees
This is a list of all of the breeders codes that I have located from pedigrees that I have come across. If you are aware of any additions please let me know so that they can be added - also if any errors are noted please also inform me!
Even if you are only a pet breeder, it does pay to assign a code number to each kit you do sell - as at some point in the future it or its descendants may be used in a breeding program.
I update this list as often as information becomes available, the last update was 17th September 2006, and it is cross posted to Chinchilla World with permission - if you locate this list on any other site please notify me as the compilation of it and its upkeep is a lot of work and effort..
I would ask that people don't copy the list direct on to their site - as that way we may end up with many different versions, please link to this list either here or on the above site, so that we can try and keep all updates in one place
