Wink Chows

Wink Chows is a Chow chow breeder in Elizabeth, CO, in Elbert County near Denver. Founded in 2010 by Salome Winker, the kennel partners with major registries such as the American Kennel Club and maintains health screenings for hips, elbows, eyes and cardiac issues.

Puppies grow up inside a family home on a small farm, where they experience daily routines that help build confidence and establish calm, steady temperaments. Adult dogs enjoy comfortable indoor kennels and regular supervised exercise in outdoor runs. Early socialization includes gentle handling and supervised introductions to children, visitors and common household sounds.

The breeding program focuses on sound structure and even temperaments, resulting in Chow chows suited for quiet companion roles or therapy settings. With over a decade of hands-on experience, Wink Chows aims to match each puppy to a home environment that respects the breed’s independent yet loyal nature.
