Acquired as part of a family group consisting of Bob, Bonny, Barley and 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.
Mallow is a very friendly chin and loves to be handled and to explore the floor outside of his cage - he is very good at being caught in order to go back in as well which can make a change for some of my chins that prefer the fun of play time.
Mallow is a really beautiful white colour with almost a beige/pink sheen across him, I have been tempted to breed him against the VC carrying line of Fern/Violet for some interesting results. At present however he is paired to Maddie a very temperamental Standard.
Both Maddie and Mallow were rehomed.
