Cindy, check out this link, about breeding blue to blue: http://www.chowwelfare.com/cciw/chowcolor.htm �Cinnamons and blues are considered "dilute" colors. Cinnamon is a genetically diluted form of red and blue is a genetically diluted form of black. The genes which create these dilute colors sometimes cause dilution of eye and tongue pigment as well, resulting in amber-colored eyes and/or pale or spotted tongues. Those traits are undesirable and must be guarded against by responsible breeders. Cinnamons and blues are not as common in the breed as reds, blacks, and creams because they are genetically recessive to those colors. Both parents in a mating must carry a gene for a dilute color for there to be any chance of producing a dilute puppy. Breeding dilutes together (blue to blue, cinnamon to cinnamon, blue to cinnamon) is usually discouraged because of the potential for diluting eye and tongue pigment in the puppies.�

WE just had a litter with three blue chows on Thanksgiving . We sold one kept one and had to give one for the stud service. They are out of a champion blood line. We are currently showing our blue puppy. The chow chow specialty is in atlanta April 8th. We possibly will repeat the breeding in a year or so.

I own a smooth blue chow chow. He has never been shown, but has a wonderful blood line of champions. I am interested in finding a champion line through which to breed him in hopes of getting another smooth blue chow chow.
