Chow-Chows

Trishca Chow–Chow Kennels are famous
for dogs with appealing personality, soundness and beauty.

ESTABLISHED 1994

At the Chow–Chow Non-Championship Show in 1994, my wife Annelie and I arrived just as the show finished. We enquired about buying a puppy but all the breeders had waiting lists. We resorted to a list of breeders and phoned them one by one. One of the breeders had a puppy due to a cancellation. We took this blue puppy and although it took some time for him (and us) he developed into a show stopper. Duncan later went on to qualify for Junior Dog of the Year in 1995, Dogmor Dog of the Year 1996 and was crowned as Chow of the Year for 1996, 1997 and 1998. He was nominated as one of the best stud dogs of the 90's and is still in splendid form.

Commander was first mated to Nushca a beautiful red bitch that we also acquired in 1994. She was also from an excellent blood line. The first puppies arrived in 1997. We had two litters that year and we decided to keep a bitch from one of the litters. This bitch was later exported to Israel.

To get some diversity in the bloodlines, we bought another dog named Chummy in 1995. He qualified as Dogmore Dog of the Year in 1997.

Of the offspring of our Chow-Chows, Joshua, a black dog,  is probably the most famous. He won the Chow–Chow Championships in 1999 and also took the title of Natal Utility Dog. Another successful descendant is Stallone. He was Chow of the year 1999, Best Puppy and Best Junior.

Of the bitches, Mischiff excelled by winning in her 1^st championship show a CC, Best Junior, R.Bob and 4^th in the group. In 1998 we bred another dog named Rusty who won Best Puppy in show at the Chow–Chow Championships in 1999

.

Our next big acquisition was in 1997 when we imported a dog named Billy from Canada. Billy also became a champion and won R.BIS at Bloemfontein Non-Championship Show in 1998 under very serious competition.

We love our Chows and will be involved in the preservation and of the breed for as long as possibly can. 

Our newest addition to the kennel is:

Trishca Chinesesezar - 5 Months

Sire : Ch. Sevenacres Trishca Gentle Bil of Trishca. (H.D. 0:1)
Dam : Trishca Mischiff. (H.D. 0:0)

Breeding Program

Our aim is to breed responsibly. All our Chows are x-rayed and certified. We believe in strong good built, healthy dogs but not overdone faces. We do our very best to stay away from genetic problems.

 

We have a variety of colors to chose from: such as Red, Blue, Black and Cinnamon.

At this point in time, we don’t do too much line breeding. We work very hard to keep our lines clean. We still import puppies now and then to improve our kennel. We are very selective in the various bloodlines available.

We breed Champion Sire puppies for:

•         Show
•         Breeding
•         Companion

Puppies are KUSA Registered, Inoculated, De-wormed and sold with Vet health certificates and at an affordable price.

Here is some of the benefits and disadvantages to consider before buying a Chow-Chow puppy. Purchase a puppy because you love the breed and not because you like dogs or the fluffy puppy looks adorable. Don’t let the puppy steal your heart and you can't cope with the dog afterwards. Remember if you give enough attention to your puppy, it will be a pleasure for the rest of it's life.

BENEFITS OF THE CHOW-CHOW

• Chows are very clean dogs.
• Chow’s are good guard dogs (do not buy a chow as a guard dog, or trained it as a guard dog, he will instinctively protect his loved ones.).
• They do not mess in their sleeping quarters or the whole garden.
• They are adaptable to both city and country life.
• They can be content living the lounge-lizard life with minimal activity and exercise.
• Chow’s aren’t noisy dogs that barks all day and night.
• Chows have a very good memory.
• The Chow is a one-man dog but, unless provoked, be friendly towards others.
• They are intelligent and can learn commands and easy to "house train".
• Chow’s does not pick fights with other breeds.

 DISADVANTAGES

• They needed to be groomed at least ones a week. Daily combing will also keep his coat in good condition.
• Chow’s does need little exercise from time to time - such as walking on a lead in the park.
• Never kennel Chow’s of the same sex together. Once two dogs have had a fight they will never forget it.
• They are quite capable to getting the upper hand specially when no attention is given.
• The breed has a poor peripheral vision and doesn’t necessarily see well from above, beside and behind. Always approach the dog from the front.
• If provoked, the Chow will fight to the end.
• They do get eczema sometimes.
• Chow’s does get Entropian. That is when the eyelid turns in. It can be rectify by surgery. This can be prevented with selective breeding.
• Puppies can also be born with over shots. (Buyers must be very careful for this)
• Be careful for too much loose skin on the head. This can be rectified with surgery.
• Chow’s are double coated and loose their coat once a year. Bitches also loose their coat after whelping.
• Because of their short muzzle they do snore while sleeping.
