The Health Committee provides education to club members about health issues in the Chow Chow. It acts as a liaison to the AKC Canine Health Foundation and raises funds for research into Chow Chow health problems.
Consider making a tax deductible donation to Chow Chow Breed Advised Fund of the AKC Canine Health Foundation. This fund provides grants for research into health problems affecting the Chow Chow. AKC-CHF matches all donations to the fund which means your donation does double duty! Contact Health Committee Chair Layla Loveless for information on how to donate to this fund.
