The judges would be quite wrong, but if you want a dog for show you mustbe sure to get a good whole-coloured darkred. If, on the other hand, you have aChow as a companion and friend, do notbe at all troubled if his ruff, yoke, culottesand tail are white or are natural, correct and typical marks,though present-day fanciers are tryingto improve them away.
