The N.C.S. was originally formed in the 1950's
as the Chinchilla Fur Breeders Association Ltd. The C.F.B.A. Ltd
was responsible for the importation, breeding and development of
the Chinchilla into the well known and beloved animal many people
own today.During the 1970's the Ltd was
dropped and in 1993 the name of the association was changed to the
present National Chinchilla Society. IT MUST BE STATED THAT THE SOCIETY IS
NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUR TRADE
AIMS The aims of the Society have remained the same
throughout its long history. These are to encourage and promote
the keeping, breeding and showing of QUALITY CHINCHILLAS,
whilst at all times maintaining good husbandry practices.
