Welcome to our site. We are Ed and Sandy Lopez of Baxter, Tennessee.  We've been raising chows for over 20 years and loving every minute of it. We've recently started showing a few of our gang, and while it's been fun, our main focus is still breeding and raising good sound family pets. We raise only chows and all our breeding stock are AKC registered.  Our kennel is based on a love of the breed, but more importantly, a love for each "individual" dog...and they are individuals! We raise them, care for them and nuture them from puppyhood to the end. We've spent many a night, with the coffee pot going nursing a sick one at our bedside or watching over the new ones as they take their first breaths. We would be proud to have any of our pups join our family and want to provide good pups to others who want to feel the same.  CLICK HERE TO FIND ANSWERS TO COMMOM PURCHASE QUESTIONS.  Any of our little ones that we place will be up to date on all their medical needs; that "is" and should always be a given. Beyond that we also give all the TLC we possibly can, petting, playing and socializing to the hilt, with tons of puppy kisses for a reward The pictures below are some of "our gang".  If you think you'd be interested in one of our little ones or have any questions, feel free to email us at: valhalla@twlakes.net or call 931/858-2983.  We're happy to answer any questions we can whether about our chows or just about chows in general.
