About the Chow Chow
The Chow Chow is an ancient breed originating from northern China, where it served as a versatile working dog for hunting, herding, pulling, and guarding. Known for its distinctive blue-black tongue, lion-like mane, and aloof, independent demeanor, it is a loyal and devoted breed to its family but tends to be reserved and discerning with strangers. Its unique stilted gait and scowling expression contribute to its noble and somewhat intimidating presence.
