Chow Chows is owned by Melite Kaajan in South Africa. She has embarked on a new genetic program to establish a cream Chow Chow bloodline in her country. Using imported semen from champion dogs, Melite has led the first successful artificial insemination with frozen semen on chow chows in South Africa in co-orperation with the world renowned Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute of the University of Pretoria. Her chow chows' pedigrees are HD 0:0 (Free of Hip Dysplasia) tested for many generations. By importing dogs from these well tested lineages and continuing to test her own dogs, she is also encouraging other breeders in South Africa to test their breeding dogs. While she specializes in cream and smooth chows, her knowledge and research in genetics has brought her the reputation of a reponsible chow chow breeder who gives advice and inspiration to many other breeders. Her microscopic research on Colour Genetics is highly regarded by local tertiary institutions. |

| She
is also reknown for her success with Exotic- and Colourpoint
Cats where she refined her skills in colour genetics. Although she has retired from breeding cats, her Champions still did much winning at shows after her retirement. Her cats are referred to by many as some of the highest quality stock ever produced in her country. Numerous articles and photographs of her champions have been published in local and international animal magazines, including a tribute to her in the Colourpoint Breeder's Group Magazine. |
