I saw my first chow when I was 13 and I have been hooked ever since.   We have owned Chows for the last 20 years, we have never wanted any other breed.  

Tin Pan Alley is a small kennel located in the beautiful central European country of Slovenia and is registered with the FCI.   Our chows live with us as members of our family.   Vienna is our oldest chow, she is nearly 12, we bought her from Belgium from the Van Mansjoerije kennel.   Our oldest male is Mark, he's approaching 10, we purchased him from Norway from the Sihn-Jin Kennel.   In December 2001, these two gave us a beautiful litter of 4 puppies, 2 girls and 2 boys, of which we kept a girl and a boy, Tin Pan Alley A Chilly Pepper and Tin Pan Alley All That Jazz.   They headed off to a great start in 2002 when Chilly, Jazz and Vienna attended The World Show in Amsterdam, Jazz won the Puppy Dog Class, Chilly won the Puppy Bitch class, and Best Puppy in Breed.   Later she  won Best Puppy Group Five, and next day we returned to the show and Chilly won Reserve Best Puppy in Show.  Chilly and her other litter brother Al Pacino are both Europa Ch. 2007.   Chilly and Jazz have given us puppies whom you will meet within this web site along with our young chows that we have bought recently.   They all live with us in the house as members of our family.   We have shown our chows from many years and most have several Championships and International Champions to their name.   It was a great honour for us when our Slovenian Kennel Club  awarded us the "Silver Award" for Chilly's win at the World Show and our multiple achievements in the show ring.   We have successfully placed several puppies in other parts of Europe who have also had great success in the show ring.  
 
In 2005 I organised the 3rd International Chow Congress when it was held in Slovenia.   With the Support of Mona Selbach
(Norway) and Janneke Leunissen-Rooseboom (Holland), The Slovenian Kennel Club, and the Slovenian Nordic and Spitz Breed Club,  we had an eventful weekend, with speakers from across the globe.  We held our first Chow Club Speciality Show, drawing an entry of 17 chows, this was followed by a 2 day CACIB show.  

I had great pleasure judging the Chow Chow Club of Denmark club match, here are photos from the event.

I am an ardent collector of Chow memorabilia and have made a number of  items myself (T-shirts, paintings, portraits, silk screens, and ceramics etc.) which I will be pleased to show you on this site, so please take a tour, and drop by often to hear our latest news.
