Chow Chow

Regarded as one of the world's most fascinating, beautiful dogs, the Chow Chow is complex and independent, known around the world for his lionlike appearance, scowling expression and bluish black tongue. Whether adorned with a profuse rough coat or a dense smooth coat, the Chow Chow cuts an impressive image. In its native China, the breed traditionally was used as a guard dog, hunting dog and food source, though never as a pet. The Western world has gladly adopted this noble, handsome pure-bred dog into its homes and hearts, where it resides as a cherished companion and show dog.Freeman, Eric is the author of 'Chow Chow', published 2005 under ISBN 9781593782603 and ISBN 1593782608.
