While still living in Colorado in 2019, and the herd growing, we thought we better have a ranch brand for shows and would need one if we were ever to become a breeder. In September of 2019, Rocky Mountain Chinchillas became our brand. The name came from the majestic and beauty that the mountains. Those same feelings of passion we have for the rocky mountains, carried over into our passion for our animals. During that time we sought out getting involved in going to a show and attending our first show and showing some. From that point on, we were hooked, by how the chinchilla community is so tight and willingness to help and be there for each other.

In April of 2020, we the family, moved from Colorado with a herd of 8 chins, to Central Iowa, to be closer to family. After moving, we decided to branch off and pursue in becoming a breeder, and going to shows. It became apparent quickly, that we were going to need a mentor(s) to help put us on the right path, knowledge and understanding. After talking with some breeders and with their guidance and patience, they would become our mentors. Getting direction from those mentors, and what we would need and how to start out.

 Since then we have grown and attended shows. With having various projects and learning more of these lovable fluffballs, it is has been an exciting, challenging, and rewarding journey.

​

A journey, that will continue to grow and strive as we learn, meet new people, and help those along the way.
