Smooth Chow Chows in Africa
The smooth (short hair) Chow Chow has been present in Africa for at least 75 years, as documented by photographs and other records. Early breeders established the Chow Chow's presence in Southern Africa some 100 years ago, both showing smooths and including these in their breeding programs. Although numbers have always been relatively small, in the 21st century, several breeders are documented as continuing to include the smooth Chow Chow in breeding programs, with the pet owning public thoroughly enjoying this beautiful variety.
