The Chow Chow is an ancient breed of dog that originates from northern China. The Chow Chow is thought to be one of the oldest recognizable dog breeds in the world! It is believed that the Chow Chow breed is the forefather to modern breeds such as the Pomeranian, Norwegian Elkhound, Keeshond and Samoyed. The breed's name in Chinese is 'Songshi Quan' which translates to 'Puffy-lion dog.' It is believed that the Chow Chow is one of the native dogs used as inspiration for the Foo dog, the traditional stone guardians found throughout China in front of palaces, Buddhist temples and places of importance. The Chow Chow was originally bred as a general purpose working dog and would have been commonly used for herding, hunting, guarding and cart pulling purposes. Some historians believe that the Chow Chow is described in ancient texts to have accompanied the Mongolian armies as they invaded southward into China - which would suggest that the Chow Chow has also been used for war purposes. Due to its working history the Chow Chow has a sturdily built square shaped body. The breed has two unique aesthetic features: its thick double coat and its uncommon blue-black tongue. The breed's coat comes in both a smooth and rough variation and comes in the following colorations: red, black, blue, fawn and cream. In modern times the breed is commonly found as a household pet. The breed as a whole is known to be incredibly loyal and affectionate towards their owners but wary of strangers. Due to their history as guard dogs they are also known to be fiercely protective over their family unit and families property. To avoid the potential for a fierce nature it is important that Chow Chow owners prioritize their dog's socialization with strangers and other dogs.
