LADY DUNBAR SHEELAH AND HER CHOW - Version 2

PHOTO PLATES FROM ‘THE CHOW CHOW’
by Lady Dunbar of Mochrum   Third Edition 1924

This book I consider one of my “bibles” for early chow research and still one of the best written.   The images in my 3 copies were starting to show a bit of fading so I decided to scan each at a very high resolution and bring them back to their full glory.  A must have book for any 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.

    I love this book! I have a Third Edition, which my brother gave me as a birthday gift because I’ve love Chow Chows since I saw a photo of one of our great aunts with a black Chow named Inky Foo. Coincidentally, our last name is Dunbar.

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    I am a Dunbar of Mochrum, son of The late Sir Adrian I. Dunbar of Mochrum,, I cannot place this Lady in the portrait by John Horsburgh called Lady Dunbar of Mochrum in my family tree. I would be very grateful if you could let me know who she was.
    Thank You
    Rowland A Dunbar

      Hello. I’m the person who owns the painting which is on sale at £5450 on my website http://www.mansionhouseantiques.co.uk.
      I would love this portrait to be sold to a family member, whether direct or indirect descendants.I always thought someone would buy the painting who bred Chow dogs or owned a few of them.Regards Rodney Tel 07765 856171
