KINGATE CAVIES

The home of happy, healthy guinea pigs

The Chinchillas

This is Leia. She is a daughter of Marie. She recently had to have a bladder stone removed as she was in a lot of pain. She seems okay now, but she will be retired from showing, which is a great shame, as she has done so well for me. She is happily living with Tango.

Here is a picture of Luke. He is a silver chinchilla boar and is son of Donny and Jemima (fox sow). He produced some lovely babies with Mandy (see pictures of Milly and Lola), and also is dad of Glitter. I have taken him to the local shows and he has done well. I shall be using him again in my chinchilla breeding.

This is Lola. She is a lovely silver chinchilla sow and daughter of Mandy and Luke. She had some lovely babies from Maxwell last year and is now living with him again.

This is Lewis. I recently bought him from my friend Pauline Dutton and I will be using him for chinchilla breeding. He is growing into a lovely boar and is doing well at shows. He produced some lovely babies with Cleo last year and I have just paired him up with Glitter.

This is Mozart he is a silver chinchilla boar and son of Mandy and Maxwell. I am going to keep showing him this coming year and he has just become a dad again with some babies from Polly, and he carries teddy, big surprise!!

This is Pickle. She is a daughter of Piccalilli and Donny, and half brother of Luke and is a lovely little lemon chinchilla sow. I have been showing her as a pet and she has done very well. In December last year she had some very cute babies from Maxwell and is now living with Minty and Lilly.

This is Lilly. She is a lemon chinchilla sow and is daughter of Pickle and Pedro (Fox boar). Last year she had 5 lovely babies from Mozart, and is now living with Pickle and Minty.

This is Maxwell. (The Brick!) He is a lovely cinnamon chinchilla boar that I bought from Nicky Reynolds. He is a super boar and has been winning best New & Emerging variety for me a few times recently, what a star.

At the moment he is living with Lola.

This is Polly. She is a cinnamon chinchilla sow that I recently bought from Nikki at Rich Cavies. She has just had a litter of 5 babies from Mozart, and some are teddies.

She is proving to be a great mum.

This is Lulu. She is a cinnamon chinchilla sow and daughter of Lola and Maxwell. She has already done extremely well at a couple of shows and I am going to continue showing her in 2010. She is living with a young chin sow.

This is Munchie, he is a young cinnamon chinchilla boar and is son of Maxwell and Pickle. I shall be using him later on in my chinchilla breeding.

The Argentes

This is Crystal. She is a white/beige argente sow and grand daugher of Bubble. She has recently had a lump removed, and is all okay now and happily living with Anakin.

This is Wonder. She is a daughter of Bubble and Stevie and is a golden/lilac argente. She has done very well for me at shows, winning best argente a few times, but is now retired from showing. She is now happily living with Tim.

This is Jack. He is a golden/lilac argente boar and a full brother to Wonder. At the moment he is paired up with Milly, so I am hoping for some babies in the Spring.

This is Glitter. She is a white/beige argente sow and daughter of Crystal and Luke. She was paired with Maxwell, and had 3 babies from him in December. She is living with Lewis.

The Dalmatians

This is Tim. He is son of Sweep and Chalkie and a full brother to Aero. I originally sold him to Smithville Stud, but he has come back to live with me. He is very happy living with Wonder.

This is Minstrel. She is daughter of Badger and Sweep, and grand daughter of Chalkie. She is retired from showing and breeding and is happily living with Donny.

This is Mandy, she is a black dalmatian sow and is daugher of Minstrel and Shadow. I have lent her to a friend for now to live with a very lonely sow that has just lost her cage mate, hope they get on all ok.

This is Milly. She is a black & tan dalmatian sow, and very, very sweet. She is daughter of Mandy and Luke and last year had some babies from Maxwell. She is happily living with Jack, so hoping for some babies maybe in March.

The Selfs

This is Donny. He is a PE white boar from Margaret Hooper. He has recently become a great grandad and is proving to be a great boar. He is happily living with Minstrel.

This is Tango. She is a PE golden sow that I bought from Louise Harle. She is definitely to small to breed from, so will stay a pet and is happily living with Leia.

This is Anakin. He is son of Minty and Leia and is a dark eyed white boar. At the moment he is living with Crystal.
