1927 ARTICLE -The Choonam Chow Chows -Country Life

Earlier in 2022 I ran across an original copy of this incredibly rare article highlighting Mrs Mannooch and her celebrated Choonam Chow Chows. This was written shortly after she sold the “Worlds most expensive Chow/dog” to America named Ch. Choonam Brilliantine (of Manchoover) Find the PDF I scanned of this rare article below, filled with many beautiful photos and a very interesting read!!! See my list of MANY related links at the bottom of this article. This kennel happens to be of special interest to this archivist and collector!!

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.
