Hello, Our boy, Morimoto, is just about 8 months old. We're planning to wait until he is at least 2 years old to grade his knees before deciding to neuter or not, since if he has solid knees it would be a shame to cut an even-tempered healthy male out of the stock.

He's not old enough to have been tested for genetic health issues, hip and elbow tests really can't be done until...

TyChowgirl, I'm out of the country at the moment, in Canada for myself but the home we're settling into for years end is in Washington state. I reached out to a member of the Pacific NW Chow chow Club via her email on their site but haven't heard back from her yet. She may be busy or out of town. Ri...

Hello, I've just recently started shopping arround looking for a puppy for my fiancee.
