My Mini Rex herd began as an accident in my mom’s nestbox…chinchillas! I’ve always liked them, and as a less-popular variety, they made the perfect side project. I have chins, broken chins, some whites to breed in, and got my own nestbox surprises of Squirrels. They may soon be more than a side project!
Briony’s Amante – Broken Chin Buck LaRue’s Casanova (Chinchilla) x Barnes’ Dominiq (Broken Chin)
Amante is the first showable chin out of my Mini Rex breedings. He has a great body, super short and round, and gorgeous ring color. If his fur develops, he could give some broken blacks a run for their money!
Update: Amante is starting his show career with a bang! BOSV at his first specialty and two class wins against very good competition…new pictures coming soon!
Briony’s Gaston – Squirrel Buck LaRue’s Casanova (Chinchilla) x Barnes’ Dominiq (Broken Chin)
Since Day 1, there has never been a question of Gaston’s buckiness! He’s a handsome little guy and a great prototype for the Squirrels.

Love the squirrel, he is really pretty. Glad to see you this weekend in Muleshoe, TX.
