In preparation for your ringside observation, you may want to review the following materials:

 

  • The Illustrated Standard of the Chow Chow – This was prepared by The Chow Chow Club, Inc. (“CCCI”), the parent club of the breed. It contains the same information and language as the Official Standard, but has been modestly reorganized for clarity. It also contains illustrations that complement the written words. This is a “must see” item.

 

  • CCCI Judges Education Committee Page – This page is a wealth of information. There is a video on the Chow Chow gait – one of the hallmarks of the breed; there is a PowerPoint judges presentation on the breed; there are recordings of Webinars hosted by Mary Wuest, Chair of the CCCI Judges Education Committee. Feel free to explore . . . .
