Comparisons of 1906, 1925, 1941 and 1986 American Chow Standards – by Mary Wuest

Compiled by my wonderful friend and long time chowist Mary Wuest (past historian of the CCCI) the Chow standard below is a comparison of all 4 AKC Chow Standards which have been in play since 1906.   The changes are marked in  black, blue and pink lettering to show the differences made at each revision. This was an incredible amount of work and the breed will benefit greatly from the dedication of all chow enthusiasts who can acknowledge the breed’s glorious past as a window toward the future.  Thank you Mary!!!

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.
