Chow Chows

IT IS SAID THE HEART OF A CHOW CHOW CANNOT BE TAKEN BY STORM BUT, ONCE GIVEN, IS YOURS FOREVER.

I purchased my first Chow in 1976 from Cherie's Chow Chows (Sherrie Harper). This handsome boy became CH Cherie's Moonshine Sky's The Limit ROM. A year later I added my beautiful, black puppy bitch who became CH JanVan's Moonshine Cassandra ROM and my foundation bitch. Together Sky & Nanu produced some very nice, typey puppies, many of which became AKC champions. Over the years I have had some nice Chows and some extremely nice Chows; they all were cherished members of my family. The Chows I have today are gr-gr-gr-grandchildren of my first dog, Sky. They continue to follow in his pawprints in his winning ways both at home and in the show ring.

My goal is still and has always been to produce Chows that are as close to the breed standard as possible and they must be physically and mentally sound.

Rescue is a big part of Moonshine Chow Chows. There is always at least one rescue Chow at my home either ready for adoption or being conditioned for adoption. If you are considering opening your home & heart to a Chow please consider contacting one of the many Chow Chow Rescue Groups around the country. The dogs available are all ages, sizes, and colors. I have found that a rescue dog makes a wonderful companion as they seem to know that you have given them a second chance at a happy life. You can see all the Chows available for adoption by going to the Chow Chow Club Welfare URL listed below.

For a brief history of some of the lucky ones who have found their forever homes due to being listed on this site click here.

I hope you enjoy the photos I have put up of my dogs; past, present and a few special guest appearances.

Planned Breedings/Upcoming Litters For more information about upcoming breedings at Moonshine Chow Chows and/or with any of the Moonshine Chow boys.

With the loss of so many of our fur-babies recently I have decided to put up a Rainbow Bridge page. It is still under construction but should be completed soon. You cannot believe how hard it is to type poems dedicated to these sweet souls without crying; actually it can't be done. If you would like your babie's name and link added to this page just e-mail the info to me. Feel free to download any poems on this page.

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan." ----Irving Townsend.
