Get to Know a Chinchilla:Colour – Black Pearl (BP)

Last few year were exciting years for many chinchilla breeders around the world.  A few new mutations started to appear in shows. One of these were Black Pearl Polish Chinchillas.

It came to the show scene in Europe in late 2014.  The original breeding pair came from Breeder: Elzbieta and Thomasz Kucharczak of Poland. The early specimens came from standard greys pairing in 2008.
