About The Breed

The Chow Chow is a distinctive, lion-like breed known for its thick coat, blue-black tongue, and independent, dignified personality. Originating in China, Chow Chows were originally bred for hunting, herding, and guarding. They are medium to large-sized dogs with a sturdy build, often having a "bear-like" appearance due to their fluffy mane and thick fur. Chow Chows are generally calm, loyal, and reserved, often forming strong bonds with their families but can be aloof or wary with strangers. They are not overly social dogs and require early socialization to prevent aggression. Their grooming needs are high due to their thick double coat, and they benefit from consistent training to manage their independent nature.
