A structured questionnaire was used to gather data. The findings were subjective and qualitative rather than quantitative and provided an indication which areas gave more cause for concern and which areas owners had little or no awareness of. The survey has been successful in its main aim to identify those areas that require further investigation by the Breed Council and has also identified some areas where owners may benefit by making more information about particular conditions. Introduction Towards the end of 2008 the Kennel Club contacted all the Chow Chow Breed Clubs asking the clubs to “review the health information contained in Annex B” which relates to statistics collated from insurance claims which indicated that the most common claims are for “Cruciate ligaments, Skin Disorders, and Entropion”. The second area where information relating to genetic conditions found in the Chow Chow was scientific literature where a further eighteen conditions were identified (see appendix 1& 2) but no indication was given as to how frequently any of these conditions occur in the breed.

Grooming: The Shar-Pei should be brushed regularly. Their coat is never trimmed. This breed does not have an undercoat. The "bush" coat sheds a little year round, but the "horse" coat tends to shed only during molting periods. Molting may leave the dog looking unkempt. Bathing about once a week and brushing the coat daily during this period will remove the old dead hair and allow the new coat to grow in. Some owners are allergic to the harsh coat.

  • The Keeshond…A Smiling Touch of Dutch by Origin, It Is a Member Of
    The Keeshond…A Smiling Touch of Dutch By origin, it is a member of the spitz family of dogs and is related to the Norwegian Elkhound, The Chow Chow, the Finnish Spitz and the Pomeranian. The Spitz breed is characterized by a long, dense coat, erect, pointed ears and a tail that curls over the back. The Keeshond takes its name from "Kees" a dog owned by Cornelius de Gyzelaar (Kees was the nickname for Cornelius). Gyzelaar was the leader of the Patriot Party in politically torn, 18th century Holland. Because Kees was Gyzelaar’s constant companion, the dog became the symbol of the Patriot Party. The Pug was the official dog of the ruling opposition - the House of Orange. This decree occurred in 1572 after one saved the live of Prince William at the battle for Hermingny. The Pug woke up the sleeping prince by barking just before the enemy attacked. After the House of Orange successfully quelled a revolt by the Patriot Party, most Dutch no longer were eager to be associated with the rebellion of the defeated Patriot Party. Fearing for their own well-being, they abandoned their Keeshonden. A few farmers and barge captains kept their dogs. Unfortunately , the breed’s safe haven aboard the barges was short lived. With the development of larger vessels, larger breeds could be accommodated aboard them. Thus the Keeshond population further declined to the point of near extinction by the early 19th century. The Keeshond finally enjoyed a revival in popularity in the 1920’s at English shows were bred by J.D.
