                                  A Little History...

                 We are Larry and Michelle Mote of Ft. Wayne, Indiana.  We have 2 children...
            our daughter, Morgan, and our son, Tyler.  Both are involved in Jr. Handling and
         are wonderful ring-side assistants.  We are very proud of all that they are learning. 
     
         We have had chows in our lives since 1992, when we were introduced to this breed 
                  while we were dating in high school.  Our first chow was a rescue, of sorts.  
         His name was Bear, and he was being given away.  When we saw the condition
        he was on, we decided immediately that we had to take him home.  After alot of                    
       TLC and alot of trips to the vet, he was on his way to recovery, and along the way, 
                                                 we fell in love with him and his breed. 
       Now, here we are 15 years later, and are still totally in love with this awesome breed.
            In 2004,  we started looking for a show chow after we attended a Festival where 
        a Kennel Club was showcasing different breeds from the area.  We saw our first show 
      chow there and started researching and asking questions as to why our chows did not 
          look  like that.  We also were able to better understand the breed standard thru all
        of questions that we asked, and were then able set goals as to what we should have
           relating to our chows.  We then went searching for our first show chow, and in 
      Dec '04, we had the priviledge of  meeting Dee Pearson of Kainin Chows.  We brought 
       Ace home, and started learning all the "ins and outs" of the ring. It didn't take long to
          get hooked on showing, and in Jan '05, we brought home Trace, from Maikinda Chows,
             and Zeta, from Request Chows.  Then in Jan '06, we brought home Jo Jo from 
       Chen Chu Chows.  Since becoming involved in showing, we have finished 3 of our 
                                   chows, and in Aug '06, we had our first show litter ...of 7!!!  
                                           We also have 3 unofficial mascots of Mo-Ty Chows ....
        Pooh Bear, our 9 year old German Shepherd/Husky mix has been with us since she was
         8 weeks old. We also have a pet chow named Buttercup, who is 5 and has been with us
        since she was 8 weeks old.  And our 3rd mascot is Wedge.  She is a cat that was rescued
      when she was around 4-5 weeks, in the Fall of '06.  Our daughter found her under a car 
                         hood meowing like crazy. We wouldn't trade any of them for the world:)
