1918 ARTICLE & RARE PHOTOS ABOUT THE CHOW & NATIONAL

This article below was in such incredible condition and easy to read after I took the yellow  out that I decided to post it in it’s entirety for everyone to enjoy. It quickly breaks down the breed’s brief history in the USA (at 1918) and covers some nuances of the standard  which have I have not seen before in all the research I have done.  The icing on the cake are the 3 rare pictures of some of history’s most perfect chows.   A delightful read for those in other breeds as well.

I do my best to be as accurate as possible in my research, however many times written history finds a way to "morph" over time. I love your comments and appreciate all feedback, additions and corrections my readers have to offer to help make this a well rounded and accurate archive.
