Fascinating..FASCINATING…I sound like Mr. Spock on Startrek…but I’ll say it again…FASCINATING!!!
It all started with my research on an original 1938 photo in my personal collection of Mrs. Donald Coster posing with one of her chows. The photo states on the back it was “taken some time ago”. It also refers to her as a widow of the masquerading drug head Musica.
GAME ON!!!….Now as my research got deeper…this information below became the JACKPOT of all jackpots as” Emmy-winning producer Robert Kalm presents the forgotten and unbelievable American story that only he could tell from a decade of research, a lifetime of family stories, and the original sources handed down to him.
Pieced together from the relatives, the corporation, the press, and the law, no one ever told the true story because no one ever had the full story. Filmed on location in New York, Connecticut, California, and Canada.”
THERE ARE MANY IMAGES OF THE COSTERS/MUSICA WITH THEIR CHOWS IN THIS TRAILER BELOW WHICH ROBERT SO KINDLY GAVE ME PERMISSION TO SHARE WITH MY CHOW AUDIENCE. THIS IS A “MUST SEE” DOCUMENTARY FOR ANY CHOW HISTORY BUFF…OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER!!
Below is another clipping I found but seem to have misplaced the credit which I will add later. Mention of 2 dozen chows the Coster’s owned
BELOW IS AN AKC RECORD OF ONE OF THEIR DOGS ENTERED IN THE STUD BOOK
Note …..Carol is using her last name from a previous marriage as the breeder’s name
And oh my…look at who shows up as Fee Cum’s H’suan’s father
None other than the famous black chow from Virgina Waller of the Sum Kennels

Please do tell me about the Chow(s) that is/are in your life. ?❤️?
This is an amazing piece of history/Chow history you have unearthed. It is fascinating! …and they had some beautiful “Chow dogs!”
Very interesting history! Great photos of his chows also.
So interesting! I love the blue chow puppies in the trailer. They really had some beautiful chows.
Hello again, Peter Woodcock here, I wrote to you a few days ago after my good fortune of finding your fantastic Chowtales.
I came across it by shear luck while searching for my Great Grandmother a English Breeder of a particular Chow. I found her in 1895 noted as breeder her sire with a well known own Chow that after its brief life was sent to a taxidermist
resulting in the Chow having a special place in a London museum around 1900.
I apologi,apologize, as Im doing this by memory.
Sorry for the long story but I wanted to thank you for the time, interest, investment, with your passion laid out before folks like myself to enjoy.
I would if loved put the screen shot of your inclusion of this interesting story of a famous Chow.
How can I add the screen shot.
Cheers Peter
