I’ve enjoyed browsing through your page and seeing how the chow has changed over time. I have a rescue chow from China who I first thought was a mix because she didn’t look like present day chows. We did a DNA test on her and I was surprised that she was indeed a purebred chow chow. Then when I saw a photos you’ve collected of Ch. Red Craze, it was additional confirmation that she is indeed 100% chow. She looks like Red Craze.
Thank you so much for commenting Chris and I’m so happy to hear about your chow! She sounds like the “real deal” to me if she looks like Red Craze. Having that DNA done was a great idea! Sandra Miller
