About Chow Chow
Country of Origin, History of the breed
The Chow Chow is a breed
that has lived in China for hundreds, possibly
millions, of years. The Tibetan Mastiff and
the Siberian Samoyed are cousins, but there
are several theories as to which dogs are
the background dogs to which other dogs. Throughout
history this breed has done basically every
job a dog has ever been asked to do. It has
been used as a hunter, herder, cart puller,
home protector and boat guard.
The Chow Chow’s fur
has been used to trim clothing, especially
coats. Chows have been (and still are) eaten
as a delicacy in China.
|
 |
The term ‘chow chow’
was used by the English to talk about any goods
brought from China. It originally meant ‘knick
knack’ or ‘bric-a-brac’. However,
it came to include many items, including dogs, that
were imported. Queen Victoria took an interest in
Chow Chows when the “Wild Dog of China”
was displayed at the London Zoo.
The Chow became popular in England
in the mid- to late-1800s and gained great popularity
in the United States when imported.

A General Appearance of
the Dog
Two features make the Chow Chow
unique: its blue-black tongue and its almost straight
hind legs which makes it look stilted when it walks.
The Chow Chow’s extremely dense coat can be
smooth or rough. This breed is compactly-built with
a large head and a tail that curls up over his back.
The rough-coated Chow has a lion-like appearance
from the front.
The Chow Chow is very muscular
and heavy-boned. He has a broad, deep chest. His
‘frowning’ expression can be questioning
or scowling with his dark, deeply-set eyes, dark
button nose, short muzzle and well-furred face with
wrinkled and furrowed forehead. Chow Chow ears are
small and erect but pointing forward.
Coat Color
Coat colors for Chow Chows are
red ranging from light golden to deep mahogany,
black, blue, cinnamon ranging from light fawn to
deep cinnamon, and cream. The coat can have lighter
or darker shadings but should never be parti- or
tri-. Basically all Chows have a blue-black tongue.
Coat Type
Chow Chows have two possible coat types: rough
and smooth.
Rough coat: This is double-coated with the outer
coat being abundant, dense, straight, and offstanding.
It is fairly coarse so it does not feel as fuzzy
as it looks. The undercoat is thick and wooly and
soft to the touch. There is a very dense ruff which
is longer around the head and neck, making the dog
look more like a lion. The legs and tail are well
feathered.
Smooth coat: This is also double-coated but with
the outer coat being hard, dense and smooth. The
undercoat is wooly and soft and should be thick.
There is no ruff and no feathering on legs or tail.
Height: 17 – 22 inches
Weight: 45 – 70 lbs.
Personality
Temperament of the Dog
The Chow Chow dog is compact,
active, alert, and agile. He is very intelligent
but independent. A well-bred and well socialized
Chow can be an excellent family dog.
Be aware of the temperament of
the parents as Chows can be either quite aggressive
or quite timid and should be neither. They should
be reserved with strangers but friendly to those
they know. Because Chows have little peripheral
vision with their deeply set eyes, you should always
approach it from the front.
Although Chow Chows are great
protectors of their homes, they need a well-secured
fenced yard because they will also run away without
meaning to leave. Older children who know how to
treat a Chow are okay with them. If children are
born after the Chow is in the home, make sure the
dog gets plenty of attention.
This is a very dominant, very
stubborn breed. The Chow will never make a great
obedience dog, but should be obedience trained with
patience and persistence so that you can handle
him.
Better suited to an indoor
or outdoor lifestyle?
Chow Chows are capable of living
outdoors, but probably will not be happy doing so.
Be aware that they are very sensitive to heat.
Are they suited to homes
with kids?
Older children who know how to
treat a Chow are okay with them. If children are
born after the Chow is in the home, make sure the
dog gets plenty of attention.
Activity
Level
How Active is the Breed?
The Chow Chow breed has great
stamina but does not commit itself to tasks that
take a great deal of energy.
How Much Exercise Does
the Dog Need at every stage of its Life?
Chows can be lazy. Make sure they
get at least a good daily walk. The more activity
they have that is directed, the less destructive
behavior they will display.
They can live in an apartment
because they tend to be quiet indoors. However,
if not exercised, they will get bored and think
of things to do.
Grooming
Regular brushing of the coat is
important. Chows are seasonally (spring and fall)
heavy shedders. For the smooth-haired Chow Chow,
weekly brushing is necessary. For the rough-haired
Chow Chow, twice a week brushing is required as
shedding is considerable.
Health
and Care
Genetic Problem
Possible problems include hip
dysplasia, luxated patella, glaucoma, skin problems,
and thyroid imbalance.
Life Span: Chows
often live to be 15 years old.
