The 1980's : The Genesis

Eliane Martineau, known then as Eliane Bernard, bought her very first Chow in 1983. He was a black dog by the name of U'Pai Kong du Grand Khan. He was meant to be a pet companion, but he was the one to introduce Eliane to pedigrees and breedlines :
- his sire Pai Fu Tse, owned by Mrs G Dufour (du Kiang Sou), sired 4 French Champions,
- his dam So-Yen de Syr Daria was a blue bitch by cream smooth dog (in the 1980's, creams and smooths were very rare in France).

With his "Kong" Eliane was soon addicted. She learnt a lot from the "old" breeders especially Mr A & Mrs F Lambert (de Berlaimont), Mrs F Smets (of Blue Baron) and Mrs C Laujon (du Grand Khan), which were leading kennels in the 1980's. Decision was then made to found a Chow kennel and this is how "du Lee-Dou des Thitounes" affix was registered in 1988. Chipie Thai du Chow--Ming, a red, was to be Elian's first brood bitch. First litter was born on 29th June 1988.

An Ideal Chow Type
French Breedlines Eliane started to look for the type she wanted for her "Thitounes". She selected a couple of dogs and bitches to purchase in order to establish her own breedlines : - Doyen Lee de Kouan-Ti, fawn bitch born 1988, - Et'Chang-Blue de Tchin Kiang, blue dog born 1989, - Elsa -Ouan du Grand Khan, red bitch born 1989, - Fu-Yang Song Chou Hou, blue bitch born 1990, - Fy-Lling de Berlaimont, red bitch born 1990. All of these Chows were coming from the most famous French breedlines, including "de Berlaimont (Mrs F Lambert) or "du Kiang Sou" (Mrs G Dufour). Pedigrees contains several imported Chows but at some point some lines can be traced up to the very first French Chows, bred by the Countess de Cholet in the start of the 1900's. Lambert's Ch Oes-Ming Chy-Nees The main reason why Eliane chose the Chows she worked with was Ch Oes-Ming Chy-Nees. This dog owned by Mrs Lambert was Eliane's favrite Chow (by the way, Eliane was not the only one as this dog served several hundred of bitches all around Europe !). This is also probably the reason why Eliane produced a lot of blues. UK Chows Eliane took another direction on her breeding program. She soon wanted to work on UK bloodlines but she didn't want to introduce to much lines. So that's decision was made to purchase Chow with a mix of the lines she knew and UK ones. This is how Eliane got : - Ch Happy Day of Blue Baron, red bitch born 1992, - Jacee des Narcisses du Donjon, red bitch born 1994.
