Introduction

The Chow Chow, an ancient breed from China, displays a lion-like mane and distinctive blue-black tongue. Known for its dignified and aloof nature, it may appear reserved, but is extremely loyal to its family. Medium-sized with a sturdy build, it requires regular exercise but is not overly energetic. Early socialization and training are crucial to manage their strong-willed personality.
