Looking at the splendid Oriental Chow Chow, one sees an arrestingly beautiful animal. What catches the eye is his perfect balance, the compact body and the proud, lion-like head. His striking personality and character, his aristocratic bearing, his dignified manners and his lordly scowl make him unlike any other dog. Friendly, yet some how reserved, he asks only to be loved and socialized by his family and friends. He is indeed an Oriental "gentleman," the lord of the canines, the Emperor of Dogs. And he is unique!

Breed Standard Committee
( 9 items )
The Breed Standard Committee (consisting of Carmen Blankenship, chair; Kim Bowden, member ex officio; Harvey Kent; Love Banghart; Jeff Sedillos; and Michael Brantley) has been requested to formulate a proposed revision to the Chow Chow standard to allow the cream chow to be shown with a flesh colored or pink nose. A similar proposed change in the standard was defeated five years ago. The recent opinion poll on the same issue did not receive a two thirds majority vote necessary to change the standard. Those voting against this change are rightly concerned about the effect, if any, this change may cause to the nose pigment in the reds ,cinnamon's and eventually, the breed in entirety.
