Amy McClellan, Starwind (red chow), and Winona (black chow) dining at the Hunter's Head, Upperville, Va. Starwind was supposed to be a show chow but he preferred the companionship of his family. He was named for the hero's steed in a fantasy novel by Joy Chant, "Red Moon, Black Mountain." He is 12 years old. His portrait was painted by a local artist, Bill Harrah, who subsequently used Star as his model for his chow products. Winona, the black chow, is 6 years old. The breeder insisted, because of her place in the litter, she be given a name beginning with W. Since my favorite actress at the time was Winona Ryder, naming her was easy. She is a superb watchdog.
