I saw my first Chow when I was 13 years old and I've
been hooked ever since. I've owned Chows for the last 12 years; I've had
some health problems -especially hip displasia( very bad hips worst
than OFFA bordline); skin and coat problems and epilepsy but I've never
wanted to own another breed. Now I have 4 Chows; two 4 years olds
Jimm(blue male) and Gina (black female) whom I bought in Slovakia.
Vienna, who is 2.5 years old. I bought her in Belgium, from
van Mansjoerije kennel and I think she is the most beautiful Chow that
I have owned so far. Mark is the newest edition. Mark is 10 months old.
Mark is also very nice. He won the Best Puppy at the World dog show 2000.
All 4 live with us in the house as members of our family.
I have named my kennel Tin Pan Alley which is registered in Europe.
I have shown chows for many years and Vienna
is my first International Champion. I also am an ardent collector of
Chow memorabilia and have made a number
of such items myself (T-shirts, paintings,portraits,silk screens etc.)
Some of my art appears here on this web site and on eBay auctions.
