The Wisconsin Chow Chow Club, Inc. was formed in 1936 by people interested in promoting and protecting the Chow. Our membership is made up of people from all walks of life who share their love of this unique breed. Most of the members live in the Madison and Milwaukee areas but we have members in Illinois as well.

Our club is open to reputable Chow breeders, exhibitors, pet owners and people simply interested in the Chow Chow. We meet between 4 and 6 times a year to plan activities, share information and socialize. Our meetings are informal and usually held at a member's home followed by a potluck dinner.

Some of our annual activities include sponsoring an annual specialty show for Chows and participating in local dog fairs and exhibitions. We provide a breeder referral service to put people in touch with reputable breeders and we're always there to give advice on care, grooming, showing, training and responsible breeding. We also rescue abandoned Chows and find them new homes via the Wisconsin Chow Chow Rescue Program.

The 2008 Chow Chow Club, Inc. National Specialty show was held in Wisconsin during the week of April 21-26.  The National Specialty is the premier annual event for our breed and drew an entry of 200 of the best Chow Chows from all across the U.S. and Canada.  

To help support our club, we're selling logoware with the show's great "Over The Moon" logo.  Click here to browse our selection of tee shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and much more!

Our next meeting will be held beginning at 1:30 pm Sunday, June 14, 2009 at the home of Joe & Robin Castellucci in Lake Villa, Illinois.  Guests are always welcome!  We may also attend the Chain O'Lakes all breed dog show in Grayslake, Illinois the same day.  If you'd like to attend, contact secretary Vicki DeGruy for directions and bring a dish to pass.
