Der Chow Chow

The Chow Chow is a very ancient Asian breed, which has been able to retain her original naturalness to this day.

Modesty and a distinct self-confidence are the typical signs of the Chow Chow's character.

On the surface you will notice the blue tongue, the stilted gait, and the dignified attitude; the grumpy expression and the thick growth of its coat of hair , which attract some attention and admiration wherever it appears.

The Chow Chow is a silent companion; it is no yelper. Nevertheless it is an incorruptible guard, who does not miss a thing. Especially at night it registers every danger and it will prove through its restrained growling that it is really serious.

Because of its natural peace and calm it is able to be kept in appartments. But it also likes sometimes to run and it enjoys its daily walks.

The Chow Chow is very devoted and loves its family members in a very faithful way, without being obsequious. It adapts very well, and it accepts everything and everybody belonging to the family, and it does not differentiate between adult persons, children or other pets. But the Chow will always keep vigilant guard against unknown or suspicious intruders.

Of course, the Chow is not a dog for just anybody, because it does not tolerate any pressure and loves its freedom beyond all measures. The person who is able to accept this, and allows the dog to live in accordance with its needs, will obtain the best friend he ever could have wished.

In its care the Chow Chow is without any problems even though he wears a long coat. Now you sometimes will find the original smooth Chow, too. The Chow Chow is a medium-sized dog, which is bred in the colors black, blue, red, cinnamon, cream or white.
