After purchasing my first companion Chow Chow, GINGER,and breeding two litters of Champion-Sired Companion Chows, I became the owner of my first Major-pointed Show Chow,
MORNINGSTAR MADAME GIN-CHOW,
in the early 1980s. MADAME was bred to several outstanding Champion males, but unfortunately never produced a litter. In 1987, I met Ruth Rohrbach of ELDORADO CHOWS, who allowed me to own THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, my
Ch ELDORADO'S LACY BRITCHES.
Lacy Britches fulfilled my every dream of the Ideal Chow Chow.  She was beautiful, sweet tempered, appropriately independent; yet a talented AKC Champion show dog. She finished her championship mostly owner/handled by me.  Shortly after completing her championship in a Major win at the Birmingham Kennel Club Show, she received her OFA number. This was important not only because it was ;a confirmation of her soundness, but also as a prerequisite for my plans for breeding her to--- MY OWN MAJOR-POINTED MALE---

THE  GIN-CHOWS:The Early Years(1980's-1993)

THE GIN-TAI TIBETAN SPANIELS

In 1993 ,after a serious accident, I could no longer continue the extensive grooming and lifting necessary to ready a Chow Chow for the Show Ring. So, through the kindness of Betty and Herb Rosen, pioneer breeders and exhibitors of the Tibetan Spaniel Club of America, I was able to obtain a wonderful foundation Tibbie bitch. Bred only twice,"SOX" was the dam of three AKC champions, grand-dam of three champions, and was the dam of 6 out of 8 pointed progeny! Obtaining an excellent 'Foundation Bitch' is probably the single most important factor in producing quality show dogs.

MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE DOG SHOW WORLD!
It takes a very special HUMAN BREED to survive the heartaches, joys, wins and losses of the hardy group of individuals who comprise the DOG SHOW WORLD! To those of us who are truly, and eternally committed to the breeding, training, and exhibiting of the purebred dog, nothing could be more fun! We willingly dedicate ourselves to this endeavor and gladly make the necessary sacrifices and adjustments in exchange for the greatest LOVE OF ALL: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!  That is what a DOG'S LOVE MEANS TO THOSE OF US: "GONE TO THE DOGS"!
