Chow Chow is one of the oldest breeds in the world. The dog that licked the edge of the night sky, the dog-bear, the dog-lion – what epithets did not human fantasy reward the representatives of this breed with. Having appeared in China more than 2 thousand years ago, Chow Chows were originally used as watchdogs, hunting dogs, and even war dogs. Now it is a companion dog that has preserved in the depths of its mysterious soul all the best features of its distant ancestors.
With his deep-set eyes and large head, accentuated by a mane of hair, the Chow Chow is an impressive-looking dog.
The breed’s most memorable physical feature may be his blue-black tongue.
He also stands out for his almost straight rear legs, which give him a stiff, choppy, or stilted gait.
