With his mane reminiscent of a lion and his slightly sullen expression, the Chow-Chow is a dog with notable physical characteristics. His big head, his blue tongue and his very dense coat do not leave indifferent. The Chow Chow is not the most tender of dogs. Not that he is aggressive, far from it, but this Chinese canine with 2 varieties (long hair and short hair) very rarely shows its attachment to its master. Yet it is real. The Chow Chow is loyal and sincere, but has a difficult character and strong temperament. It is not to be put in the hands of a neophyte.
