I raised Chows in my younger years before I knew what a show dog was.
Then one day my teenaged daughter brought home a dark red male Pekingese that was absolutely beautiful. She named him Tammie's Shadow of Gin Sing. She called him Gin-Gin. I fell in love with him,and got very interested in the breed. I went to a local show one day and became very interested in the sport. I asked many questions. I later, in 1987, heard of a guaranteed show dog that was for sale by a local exhibitor. I went and purchased a little red bitch that I named Westhaven's Tia Windchime,and started showing her. Turns out Tia wasn't such a spectacular show dog after all,so after showing her for a while and only winning her class I retired her from conformation and instead went into obedience with her. She excelled in this. I swear that dog understood whatever I said. I then purchased Alex from Prima Pekingese in South Dakota. He was my first Champion and then I was hooked!! I went to visit Don Johnson in S.C. and he let me have a few nice dogs, one of which was a nice Australian Champion. Elizabeth Nisbet of Nisbet's Bulldogs had aquired some Pekingese also, and around 1995 she let me have them, one of which was Champion Clocroft Lu Shih, a beautiful male, and from those humble beginnings Chownese Kennels was started
