I will be entering a few of my chinnies....I have the pics taken, now I just need to send them in

Its so hard to get a photograph that reflects the chins true beauty.. I find the ebonies and whites the hardest....but here's hoping I did a good enough job

Looking forward to seeing everyones entries

A couple of my chins took places in the first one.
It was a lot of work getting the right shot.
Then there's all the talk of not being able to judge from pics

then she, Jamie added a fee, not the cost just the fooling around.
I enjoy it all though, and have thought about it, but this time of the year, I just don't seem to have the time.
I liked the winter time better

I've got five entered, just for the heck of it. There's two that I think might place, but I'm not expecting much from the others.

Entries are due by August 31st if I'm not mistaken.

Debbie, I think winter is a better time to do it as well. The weather is much too warm to be fiddling around with chins and pictures, not to mention, their coats I feel look better in winter.

I entered last year and it was great. Quite a few of the ones I entered were winners but this year I don't even have time to pee so I doubt that I'll enter.

I wasn't a member last year and entered and the fee was minimal. The feedback from the judges was great and informative too.

OK, the chins are officially fed up with me trying to comb them, take pictures, handling them with sweaty hands, comb them again, they get agitated and restless, and the pictures are only so-so

I have one chin that has horrible fur, I mean, it is thick, but, well, he's a white chin, crummy fur. But he has an awesome shape, should I enter him and see how he does, do they give feedback for that? He is good for breeding, I have him with a girl that has great fur, and they have produced one kit who is turning out good, with strong fur (that she got from mom), but I just am curious how this boy will do

I think you should Laurie just out of interest sake. Thanks for my chin club membership BTW. Maybe next year I will be able to send some pics in too.
I'm curious what kind of comb do you use on your chinnes?

I bought a couple of rabbit grooming combs at the feed store, so I use those. They are meant for fine fur, so that was why I got them.
