I have a miniture chow, ten years old...

There are miniature Chow Chows? I've never seen any literature about
them. The AKC doesn't even know about them! As a Chow Chow lover,
myself, I've often wished they existed in miniature. This is like a
dream come true!

Sounds more to me like a chow mixed with a small dog of some sort or a chow
runt that didn't grow much. Miniature chows don't exist that I know of.

Yes, I know. I was just trying to have fun. I was counting on a post
like your's so I could turn the table and talk about how sad this sort
of delusion is to me.

Believe it or not, I work with an animal control officer who believes he
has a miniature Chow Chow. I never argue the point; I just feel sad for
him--and for the OP.

Whenever I hear "miniature Chow Chow," I think of inbreeding, "runt,"
genetic abnormality, etc.
