Who’s Who in Dogdom 
It's a long way from Tipperary to China, but America is 
the common meeting ground for all races, so here we present 
the famous Chinese dog, the Chow. 
Last month it was the Irish Wolfhound and in the recent 
numbers we have described Airedales, German Shepherds, 
English Bulls, Pekingese, Collies, Police Dogs, Great Danes, 
Russian Wolfhounds and the Sealyham Terrier. 
The addresses of the kennels appended to any of these 
articles will be furnished on application.

The Chow 
Supposing you went into your fa¬ 
vorite restaurant to-night and the 
waiter suggested for the piece-de-re- 
sistanee roast Chow. What would you 
think of it? Just look at this wonder¬ 
ful dog and think of the fact that pri¬ 
marily he was bred to be eaten! 
The Chow is a native of China and 
his full name is Chow Chow, which is 
pigeon-English for that which is eaten. 
They were bred by the richest families 
in China and fed only the cleanest of 
food, after which they graced the table 
in different forms of many an Eastern 
potentate. 
Dogs answering the description of 
Chows were brought to England over a 
hundred years ago, but it was only 
during the latter half of the last cen¬ 
tury that they came to stay. A few 
came to this country a little while 
after, but it is only in the last twenty 
years that many have been 
seen here. 
In England they 
very soon became 
one of the fashion¬ 
able breeds as 
they are here. 
(Masse s were 
provided for 
t li e m at all 
shows and 
they w ere 
bred in the I 
royal ken- ; 
nels. T hey . 
are not plen¬ 
tiful in either 
country and 
will always be 
a rare dog. 
Chows come in 
four colors and 
sometimes a fifth 
•—b lack, red, 
blue, cream and 
occasionally a 
solid white, hut 
black predomi¬ 
nates. 
In China they are also used for hunt¬ 
ing, hut would not he called an ideal 
hunting dog in this country as they 
would never go through water under 
any circumstances. A Chow hates 
water. They are hardly ever bathed, 
as water softens and spoils their heavy 
coats. So to keep them in perfect trim, 
a thorough grooming is given and when 
brushed against the grain as a finish¬ 
ing stroke, makes the coat look very 
fluffy and heavy. 
A peculiarity of this breed is that all 
Chows must have a solid blue-black 
tongue and roof of their mouth, not 
spotted. In this respect they are the 
only breed of dogs that lias this pecu¬ 
liarity. In fact, in any other breed it 
is a disease. Chow puppies are born 
with flesh colored tongues, but soon 
develop the black. 
Chows are a most peculiarly dispo¬ 
sition dog and are a most interesting 
study. The puppies are just splendid 
little Teddy bears and grow attached to 
you very quickly. The older dog takes 
longer to get acquainted, but is just as 
g& staunch after 
Stt they know you. 
They are prac¬ 
tically a one 
person dog, not 
caring much 
for many, but 
a lot for a 
few, and for 
w horn h e 
loves, he will 
fight to the 
last. 
Chows are 
one of the most 
intelligent dogs 
bred, having 
great brain 
power, being deep 
thinkers and hav¬ 
ing a most wonder¬ 
ful memory. They 
are also methodical, 
picking out a path in 
their run generally 
around the inner side 
of the fence, often mak¬ 
ing a figure eight in the 
centre of their yard, 
beating down the grass 
|Rj and keeping in these 
L * J paths, seldom, if ever, 
turning out or "crossing country." 
Chows fear nothing. An inborn distrust 
for all strangers is a feature of the breed 
and it must be fought, by kindness. His 
heart is not taken by storm, but once sur¬ 
rendered. is yours forever, as faithful devo¬ 
tion is typical of the breed. 
All in all. the Chow, although the consort 
of Fifth Avenue, is an all around good dog 
for anyone anywhere. He is equally at 
home in city or country.
