Hello I am looking for a good breeder, in or around the Calgary area.
EMAIL: kaitlyn_rox332@hotmail.com

email me with any information you may have, I am really interested in getting a female chinchilla.
I can not find any breeders, or any quality breeders.. so please help.

Have you seen Chinchilla Club's breeder's directory?

http://www.chinchillaclub.com/breeder/

I know not everything is up to date but it might give you some options. There is a Canadian section there and a listing for a breeder in Alberta. You might try sending an e-mail since there an e-mail address but there is no website. Even if they are not running they might could give you a good lead.

UI think you might have wrote me about a breeder in Alberta? I had mentioned Melanie of Hallow's Eve Chinchillas - http://www.hallowsevechinchillas.com/

There used to be a lot more reputable breeders in Alberta but many retired from breeding chinchillas the last few years.

I went to the breeders directory but most are old, not there, not willing to ship or dont have any way for me to contact them.. or simply no reply back but thank you.
AND
I just joined so it was not me, but i definitively clicked the link and im emailing her as we speak hopefully we can find a way because she is in Edmonton I believe so thank you aswell

So i've been messaging around and can not find anyone or get a reply from any breeders.. so i am going to look else where as long as they can deliver or ship and explain how the shipping would work so if any of you have a recommended breeder i would appreciate it.

I wish I knew where to go. I recommend you e-mail Jamie Huggins who runs the site (info@chinchillaclub.com) if you haven't already. She may have some connections although her ranch is in the Southeastern US. I also checked MCBA and ECBA but it looks like their membership is dwindling. I guess chinchillas are going out of style. Have you tried any of the big ranches to see if they ship like Shoots chinchilla?

[lilchinchilla]

It is possible they are not getting back to you because they don't have any available right now.  I have none available at this moment for sale, so I cannot ship or provide a chinchilla for anyone at this time. I am surprised Melanie didn't get back to you, as she is usually quick to respond within 24 hours.
