Attention World Chow members and all who read this,
As many of you have read on our World Chow forum
http://worldchow.com in the past weeks, the UK is proposing some major changes to the Chow Chow standard that will not only affect the Chows in Europe but ultimately on every corner of our planet over time.
NOTE: DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PETITION AND STANDARD WILL BE HERE
ДИСКУССИЯ (НА АНГЛИЙСКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ) Recently some of our members brought to our attention that the proposed amendments are now on the table and almost official. We ....the fanciers have been given only a short window of opportunity.... until December 30th to react and voice our opinions and concerns, however we may need to submit by the 24th because of potential holiday closures at the KC.
The timing being over the holidays may be inconvenient but it will not deter this World Chow Alpha Bitc.h and many many others from having our say and making UK KC aware, we feel that most of the proposed changes are completely unacceptable and unnecessary. Nothing should ever be inconvenient when it comes to our chows and the future of this breed , so this petition was written in the attempt to draw worldwide attention to the issue . We need thousands of signatures in 5 days time it is a big challenge but I know you all and your passion for our breed. We can make this happen!!!
Please take the time to read the proposed changes to the UK Chow Standard below, then we urge you to sign this petition which was authored by a small group of International Chow breeders and fanciers who are Worldchow members. Even though this standard change is not affecting us directly in the U.S. and other countries at the moment...it will ultimately and negatively impact the breed from here on in all over the planet.
With the increase in frozen breedings Worldwide, these changes (eg. requiring a more angulated rear) will affect all of our genepools in a few short years. The Chow as it has been represented in history with it's unique stilted gait.... will be no more and that is a guarantee if the UK KC proposal passes. We are not the only breed being affected. A list of multiple breeds are at risk losing some of their long standing, most defining breed specific traits, with no concrete documentation to back the reasoning behind these proposed changes.
On the petition there is an optional space for constructive comments next to where you sign. Please feel free to respectfully voice your opinion as to why you cannot accept these proposed changes for our breed.
You will also find a tab to click on at the top of the petition to email to friends...click on that tab to your hearts content!! Please!!!.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to help your breed, and a special thanks to the co authors who helped me pull this together in such a timely manner!!!
PLEASE CROSS POST AND FORWARD THIS EMAIL IN IT'S ENTIRETY TO ALL CHOW LISTS, BREED CLUBS, AND DOG FANCIERS AROUND THE WORLD!!! THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE VIRAL TO BE EFFECTIVE, WITH ONLY 10 DAYS TO GET AS MANY SIGNATURES AS WE CAN. CALL IN ALL FAVORS...ASK YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CO WORKERS TO SIGN TOO.
Thank you so much!

****************************************************************************************
BELOW ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE CHOW CHOW STANDARD BY THE UK KENNEL CLUB
These are the UK KC's proposed changes to the standard (permission given to post ; "The more voices we can muster, even from those all over the world, would have an impact hopefully, and we can all join together with a bigger say") -
1. All standards will include the following introductory paragraph from January 2009:
A Breed Standard is the guideline which describes the ideal characteristics, temperament and appearance of a breed and ensures that the breed is fit for function. Absolute soundness is essential. Breeders and judges should at all times be careful to avoid obvious conditions or exaggerations which would be detrimental in any way to the health, welfare or soundness of this breed. From time to time certain conditions or exaggerations may be considered to have the potential to affect dogs in some breeds adversely, and judges and breeders are requested to refer to the Kennel Club website for details of any such current issues. If a feature or quality is desirable it should only be present in the right measure.
2. Any proposed changes to the breed standard will appear below
Chow Chow
General Appearance Active, compact, short-coupled and essentially well balanced, leonine in appearance, proud, dignified bearing; well knit frame; tail carried well over back. Should always be able to move freely and must not have so much coat as to impede activity or cause distress in hot weather.
Characteristic Quiet dog, good guard, bluish-black tongue; [Delete ‘unique in its stilted gait’].
Hindquarters Hindlegs muscular, hocks well let down, with moderate [delete ‘minimal’] angulation. [Delete ‘essential to produce characteristic stilted gait’]. From hocks downwards to appear straight, hocks never flexing forward.
Gait/Movement Relatively short stepping. [Delete ‘short and stilted’.] Forelegs and hindlegs moving parallel to each other and straight forward. Dogs should always be able to move freely and soundly without any sign of distress.
Coat Either rough or smooth. Rough: profuse, abundant, dense, straight and stand-off. Outer coat rather coarse in texture, with soft woolly undercoat. Especially thick round neck forming mane or ruff and with good culottes or breechings on back of thighs. Smooth: coat short, [delete - abundant,] dense, straight, upstanding, not flat, plush-like in texture. Any artificial shortening of the coat which alters the natural outline or expression should be penalised. Must not have so much coat as to cause distress in hot weather.
