Summary
About Chow Chow
Ancient Chinese breed with lion-like coat and blue-black tongue. Medium, sturdy, and square-built, it has a dense double coat needing regular grooming. Independent, loyal, and reserved with strangers, it suits calm homes and experienced owners, requiring moderate exercise and careful health management.
