I have been researching chucks for awhile now. I had eliminated SE chucks as potential pets since purchasing one of these is more complicated, expensive, etc. than buying one of the mainland varieties (or an AI.) Then, this weekend I literally begged a showing with the SE chuck who lives at the Houston Zoo. Now, I'm just smitten. I love their colors (of course) but most importantly, this particular chuck is so docile and trusting. He is an '87 vintage and interacts with children/other visitors on a regular basis so I know his age and socialization are factors. I know he was CB and this is also a factor. Would most types of CB chucks have the potential to become as tame as this SE? What are your recommendations if temperment is the most important criteria for selection? Thanks so much for all the help.
