A strong dog, they were most often employed for carting, guard duty and hunting.
The Chow Chow ranges in height from 18-22 inches at the withers, and may weigh 45-70 lbs. They come in five solid colors, which should be clear except for allowable shadings in the ruff, tail or feathers, that is a lighter degree of the body. Black, cream, and blue are single colors, while red and cinnamon encompass several shades. They are one of the two breeds that share the common trait of a blue tongue. The other is the Shar Pei, which may be related.
Chow Chows are sometimes referred to as cat-like, meaning that they have an aloof and independent nature. While this is true for the most part, they can become fiercely attached to their owner. But that will not prevent them from trying to one up the master whenever they can.

They are not an overly active dog, but while they may remain content during the day at home, when you return they enjoy exercise and playtime. © DogDecor.com
