Breeding Quality Sales Policy
Breeding quality animals are sold with a full pedigree and any information I have on their show placings, qualities, and production. I do NOT sell breeding animals for pairing to unpedigreed, unknown background animals. If you have a current chinchilla that comes from an unknown background and/or a pet store, I strongly encourage you to purchase a same sex partner from our owner surrenders/rescue page or our current babies listed on the "for sale" page. While a pedigree is not a guarantee against genetic maladies, it gives a much higher chance of NOT reproducing serious genetic disorders such as malocclusion. Here at RDZC Ranch, we promote ethical breeding with an emphasis on producing healthy, high quality animals that live long lives with friendly dispositions.
When inquiring about breeding quality, you will be asked about current chinchillas and their pedigree status and whether they have been evaluated for quality. Breeding quality animals are typically evaluated for quality on several characteristics including size, conformation, clarity, density, fur strength, veiling, veiling coverage, and color. Pedigreed animals should be paired with complimentary traits at the forefront and NOT what color mutation they are or can produce.
We encourage the use of herd improvement standards for any herd. No matter what your breeding goal is, you should have a backbone of strong standards to continue to increase the quality and robustness of your herd.
Breeding animals NOT bred by RDZC Ranch do not come with a guarantee. They will be listed with all possible information, but as an animal not of our breeding we cannot offer guarantees on the animal.
Breeding animals bred by RDZC Ranch come with a 1yr guarantee on breeding. If the animal is paired properly to another pedigreed animal and fails to produce within 1 year of being placed in breeding, you may bring the animal back to RDZC Ranch to be exchanged for an animal of equal quality and value. Chinchillas lost to breeding accidents, fights, or other maladies are not guaranteed. Breeding animals come with a 48 hour health guarantee. If the animal passes away in the first 48 hours and a necropsy is performed showing a pre-existing condition, the animal will be replaced with one of equal value. No refunds will be given.
