We have had Chows in our family since the mid-eighties. When our last Chow, Sheba #1, passed away in 2001 at the age of 16, we missed her so much, we set out to find another Chow puppy. We soon discovered that while some breeds were having from 50K to over 100K per year (that were AKC Registered), there were less than 2000 AKC registered puppies being born per year and those numbers were dropping each year.

3 years later, we finally decided of some nice quality, Champion background Chow pups from northern west coast breeders and we began a breeding program when they reached adulthood. Our Chows have very nice Pedigrees and some of those Pedigrees are becoming more difficult to find anymore due to spaying, neutering, showing without breeding and other restrictions that some breeders impose on prospective breeders and who make it impossible to continue certain lineage. This leads to indiscriminate breeding by people who don't have a concern for perpetuating a nice lineage.

All puppies in our litters are 100% FULL AKC Registered, ready to be transferred into your name. AKC is the best registration company because they accurately track every single Pedigree and can't be altered by unscrupulous people who try to misrepresent the lineage.

When puppies are born, they will be posted on this website with photos and info. We review all interested parties and then we start our process of choosing the puppies' most potential new families. Please don't take offense if you are not contacted because there are so few puppies in each litter and your name will still be in a file for next time, if you are still looking by then. Another reason might be that former families who are inquiring always get first consideration if possible. Please know that we do not use a 'first come, first serve' method.

Deposits are not accepted until the puppies are born and are at least 1 week old....But actually, we prefer to let the puppies get a little bit older so that we can tell more about their personalities. We try to match families with the best personality to ensure that both the puppy and the family will be happiest this way. All puppies are different and looks and colors aren't always the best way to choose one. There have been several times when a family favors a puppy solely by the photo, but when they meet, a few times that puppy had zero interest in them while another puppy would be begging for their attention, and thank goodness they would opt for the lovey puppy instead. Just like people; puppies don't always like the people who want to take them home. We can't always be 100% but we sure do try.

All puppies will house trained 100% here, ready to learn your home layout for further training. At 6 weeks, they will begin harness and leash walking for the duration of their time here. All puppies leave here wearing a harness and leash in case you need to make a stops on the way home - it's important that they be safe. All puppies will be examined by our Vet and will receive their first vax from our Vet when they are 7 weeks. During their time here, they will be fed various foods including boiled chicken, scrambled eggs, hamburger and also canned chicken just for convenience. We do not feed puppies dry kibbles of any kind. Dry kibbles may be introduced when they have their adult teeth in at 5 to 6 months old, but please think about cooking for them and not just giving them dry.

We are located about 70 miles N of Sacramento. We do not ship puppies in cargo (if that's even an option anymore) and we are not able at the moment to deliver puppies. We ask that you are able to pick up the puppy if you are out of the area. If you are relatively local, and you have put a deposit on a puppy, you are welcome to visit your puppy as often as you want until it's time for your pick-up day to take them home. It really helps if they can bond with you before coming to live with you.

Deposits are $300 and they are refundable in the event that you cannot continue to adopt your puppy. We don't want puppies to go to their new homes, only to be re-homed due to hardship, etc. Our goal is to responsibly find the best homes.

When the time comes to take them home, the balance due of their adoption fee is payable in cash only. We apologize but actions of others have made this our policy.

We do not have puppies available very often and apologize to people who have been waiting. Of course, if you do look elsewhere for a puppy, please be careful of unscrupulous people and also scammers are a huge problem now. Never send money before you thoroughly check everything out. People steal other's pictures and post them so before you do anything, always verify. I have personally heard about people getting the wrong puppy and many times, no puppy at all - after they sent hundreds or even thousands of dollars away to who knows where. Very sad and disgusting.

I am currently very happy that my daughter-in-law has taken a huge interest in Chows and so we will be helping in any way to make the learning process as happy and productive as possible. She is a very positive, caring and efficient person that will be involved every step of the way.

Thank you for looking at my site. If there are any questions at all, I'm almost always home so please call or email me!
