About Us
Hobby breeding Chinchillas since 2002 what started with one producing pair of high quality "pets" eventually grew to 4, and so on leading to our first expansion into an 80 animal "herd" in 2009 by acquiring animals from retiring breeders Keystone Chinchillas of Pennsylvania, and Seward Breeders of Geneva Ohio. Since then by showing, attending judging seminars, and learning how to continually improve the quality of our animals we have strived to improve both our breeding herd, and the babies they produce by selectively adding show winning chins from well known, proven, top breeding US herds as our older chins reached retirement age.
While adding better & better quality animals to our herd, pairing them to the best of the best we produced here over years which includes dozens of 1st place show winners & our own home grown 2013 MCBA Ohio State Show 1A, Color Phase Champion Male, and White Color Section Champion, an Extreme TOV White Mosaic Blue Diamond Carrier. Our passion, and love for producing these amazingly beautiful, multi-colored furballs only continued to grow with every baby born so in August of 2014 we made the decision to expand yet again.
In August of 2014 we proudly announced that we were honored to be the new owners of the award winning Che' Chinchillas herd raised by Cheryl Graham. This multi champion producing herd earned her the titles of: 2014 MCBA Ohio State Grand Show Champion, 2013 MCBA Top Violet Breeder & Reserve Champion Ebony Breeder to name a few.
As of 2019 I embarked on a restructuring of the herd to include more high quality Standards, and in April of 2020 began acquiring the show section of our long time mentors multi national award winning Ryerson Chinchilla with their retirement. As of September that year we also began to rebrand from Ohio KPC Chinchillas to Ohio KGC Chinchillas with the merge of my, and my significant other's herd GKC Chinchillas. We settled in Mogadore Ohio for several years after we married before finding our forever home in Mt. Pleasant Michigan In Jan. Of 2024, eliminating the Ohio from our name to become KGC Chinchillas.
Our Chinchillas are arranged in breeding pairs who we allow to produce a maximum of two litters a year. Since health, rest, and recuperation is important to us none of our animals are permitted to back breed so we apologize if for this reason the color you are looking for at any given time is not available if that female is on a break. We have no problem adding you to our ever growing wait list, and sincerely hope that you will consider this option based on quality, and care verse availability else where, but if you do choose to go with another breeder please just let us know to remove you.
Once paired our females are weighed on a regular basis, and are then separated once known to be pregnant. Each female is then given a well deserved break neither pregnant or nursing before she is re-paired with her mate. Once re-paired on their own time the pair will choose when they wish to reproduce again so there are babies born year round to various pairs of different colors.
Weaned at 6- 8 weeks old all of our kits are hand raised, and played with every day beginning at birth to encourage friendly tame temperament, and sociability. They are then transferred to an oversize "baby cage" to encourage other chin friendliness, or are paired with the pre-selected cage mate in their own personal cage if 2 chins are purchased at the same time with the intent of long term bonding.
