Hi, I'm Judith-Ann R.
We are a small show kennel, based North West of Melbourne in country Victoria, only occasionally breeding for ourselves. We occasionally have puppies available.

Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
We follow puppy culture methodology, introducing our puppies to different sounds, toys and textures early on. We follow a local community facebook page where we invite local families with children of all ages to meet our puppies for short visits in order to help socialise them. Our puppies are raised in the house…
Health
All our adult dogs receive all appropriate vaccination and health tests in accordance with AVA guidelines. Puppies get vet checked at week 5 and receive their vaccinations and microchip at week 6. We detect for any signs Entropion as early as possible to ameliorate any required further development and home healing.…
Home environment
Our puppies are all raised in the house and transitioned out of the whelping pen environment into larger pens as they develop and require. The underlying surface foundation is carpet with additional textured surfaces including cuddle beds, pet litter, newspaper, and some heated snuggles. We are based in a small…
Included with our puppies
I include a comprehensive information booklet with video links on all aspects of Chows’ care including vaccinations, diet, exercise, training, history of the breed and genetics, behaviour and what to look out for during their entire development. I also include what I believe is a really useful book for prospective…

Additional Tests
Senge Chow Chows conducts 1 additional tests available for the Chow Chow.
- Physical Test
Dogs affected by patellar luxation have loose kneecaps that may pop in and out of the knee joint, which can be painful and even require surgery. Having a vet examine breeding dogs for patellar luxation can confirm the dog is not affected, and that their puppies are less likely to develop the condition. Patellar luxation is more common in smaller breeds.

Why we got involved in breeding
I am third generation dog breeder, growing up with Cairn Terriers, Foxhounds and Labradors. I fell in love with the neighbours’ Chow and owned my first at age 11. I got introduced to showing and breeding by a good friend and breed judge who recognised the quality lines in my Chows. Our primary goal in breeding is…
