This charming article was written back in the day when the chow was first introduced to American and European households.  We were getting to know this unique creature both as companion and show dog.  All the “rules” that applied to the average canine seemed to be challenged by the Edible Dog of China.  Of all the things we have altered on this magnificent breed over the past century, the chow’s heart, soul, and unique  personality and general characteristics have remained in tact ….thank goodness!

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.
