Chow Chow
The Chow Chow is a sturdy, squarely built spitz-type dog known for its lion-like mane, deep-set eyes, and distinctive blue-black tongue. Reserved and dignified, this ancient breed forms strong bonds with its family but is typically aloof with strangers. Chows are independent and can be strong-willed, requiring experienced, consistent handling and early socialization.
