Dogs are the creatures we see almost everywhere around us. We don’t have to travel to zoos or Amazon to have a glance at them. Unless it’s a rare species of dog. There are many types of dogs, some cute while others are scary. Dogs are loyal, humble and protective of their owners And can feel their emotions as well. They make their owners feel better in cute and unique ways. Some dogs can also be like bears and lions. The type which looks like a bear and lion mixture is called the chow dog

BASICS OF CHOWS

They are one of the most ancient breeds of dogs. The hairs on their mouth and chin give them the looks of a lion while their eyes and nose look like a bear ( A cute one for sure ).

They are one of the fluffiest dogs of all. They usually have colours like cream, crimson, black, brown and red. Their height can be 17 to 20 inches. While they can age from 9 to 15

They are not the best with children as they can get aggressive easily. They should be trained politely and not with strict manners. The owner of a chow should be patient with them. They have double fluffy coats. The weight of a male Chow chow can be 40 to 70 pounds while a female can weigh from 30 to 60 pounds. They have 44 teeth, unlike other breeds which have 42. The colour of their tongues is pink at an early age but turns blue-black when they get older.

Chow dogs don’t need much attention or cuddles like other dogs. They are generally strong and can fight if trained. Their owner should not be a child as they tend to be aggressive sometimes and can bite in situations which trigger danger. They are independent and aloof. They are ideal in a situation of being left for some time as it doesn’t affect them as much as other dogs.
