Bekki was born on the 5th of September, 1988 and today she's still the amazing Chow that she was the day she came to live with me.  For the last 13 years, she's been our companion, our friend and an ambassador for all Chows.  Fate was around the day Bekki came into our home as the gifts she has given have been shared by many.

We've been very fortunate with Bekki.  You see, we didn't know about puppy mills and we didn't know what really happened in pet stores.  We believed the commercial advertising and we believed that just because a dog has a pedigree that that somehow makes her a quality representative for the breed.

Mindy was in mourning over the loss of her previous dog, Molly, who passed away at the age of 16.  By happenstance, she found herself in a pet store not expecting to purchase any dog but when she held Bekki she knew it was all over.  It was love at first hug.  In retrospect, very poor choices were made regarding the selection of a dog, any dog, from a pet store but somehow we were lucky that day.  Bekki was a very happy and sociable Chow, she loved all people and with positive reinforcement training she turned into the most amazing Chow ambassador.  To this day, one of Bekki's favourite things to do is to sit by the front gate and greet all strangers, adults and children alike, with a friendly wag of the tail and an abundance of kisses.

That's our Bekki.  That's the girl we love so much.  And you know, she hasn't changed a bit.  By feeding a natural raw diet and limiting our vaccines to only what is required by law, Bekki has remained a healthy and active girl who has never slowed down.  She truly is a WonderChow.
