CHOW CHOW—This Chinese breed is 
one of the oldest known, going back over 
two thousand years. He was originally in- 
troduced into England in 1780, but not in 
large numbers until about 100 years later. 
The Chow Chow was first exhibited at a 
dog show in this country in 1890. Orig- 
inally a hunting dog, the Chow is now a 
pet and guard dog. He is the only breed to 
have a blue-black tongue, and the inside 
of the mouth should be the same color. The 
Chow's coat is abundant, dense, and rather 
coarse, and may be any clear color with lighter shadings on the ruff and 
tail. Of medium sise and well proportioned, the Chow appears large 
and massive because of his abundant coat and large head. 
FRENCH BULLDOG—The English Bulldog was probably one of the 
ancestors of this breed developed in France about the year 1860. He is 
a well-mannered, active, intelligent little fellow, whose outstanding fea¬ 
tures are the rounded, or bat ears, not found in any other breed of dog, 
and the flat skull formation between the ears 
with the curved or domed formation above 
the eyes. His coat is short and smooth and 
in color he may be all brindle, fawn, white, 
or brindle and white. Colors not allowed 
are black and white, black and tan, liver, 
mouse, or solid black. The ideal weight is 
between 19 and 22 pounds.
