New Owner

[cynicalwitch30]

I am amazed at how many sites for chin owners are out there. I feel like a new mother... totally amazed, and scared out of my mind..
I have spent countless hours learning all I can to be able to care for our "babies" as best as possible. My biggest frustration is with the conflicting advice. One site will tell me to absolutely do, or not do something and I will find the exact opposite 2 minutes later.
I want my boys to have the best of everything. How do I know which advice to follow??????????????

Hello and welcome to C&Q! :)
I totally understand how you feel, there is plenty of different advices given out there and it can get confusing. If you are serious in your willing to learn, you will notice a consistency to certain advices that is given (e.g. do not give fresh fruit not veggies to your chins).
I would start by reading FAQ on this forum. There is lots of basic information given here. Also, check the old posts on the topics that interest you. I don't think that the 'wrong' advices ever pass uncomented.
Ask questions and listen to what people have to say. And see if their advices make sense. If they don't ask them why is so.
I can not underline enough how much I have learned here, thanks to all those who were willing to answer my silly questions.
Good luck with your new parenting and hope to hear more about your furry babies. :D

Welcome to CnQ :)
That's definitely a loaded question! Like Sanja said, you'll notice that some information is the same everywhere. "Feed a good quality pellet and hay, do not breed chins with unknown backgrounds, etc." After being on the forums for a while, you'll start to realize which members are speaking from years of experience. In the end, it is all just "advice" and you have to make the best decision for you and your chins.

Welcome and enjoy. You'll learn a lot of info. on here. My advice about learning things about chins and knowing what is wrong or right is to make a topic here asking the question and seeing the different replies/answers you get. :)

:applause: This is great advice! Good point about "wrong advise", too.
Alas, its nice to add another stolen heart to the long list of chinnie lovers. They just make you giggle 24/7 . . . even when they're asleep! Goofie little chins! :D
