Do you know Chow Chow are the dogs not having a pink tongue! Chow Chow is a breed of dog that was developed in China. It is also known by Chow, Chowdren. In China it is referred to as Songshi Quan, which means 'puffy-lion dog'. An ancient breed of northern Chinese origin, this all-purpose dog was used for hunting, pulling and protection of the home. They are powerful, sturdy, squarely built having strong muscular development and heavy bones.
Chows are distinguished with their unusual blue-black/purple tongue. The bluish color extends to its lips. The Chow is the only dog breed with this distinctive bluish color in its lips and oral cavity.
It has a broad skull and small, triangular, erect ears, which are rounded at the tips. Because of its deep set eyes the Chow has limited peripheral vision and is best approached from the front. This breed has a very dense double coat (hairs that cover its body) that can either be smooth or rough. Chow Chow is available in five colors including red, black, blue, cream, cinnamon/fawn.
The Chow Chow is most commonly opted as a pet. They are very protective for their people and property and may not be an appropriate dog for a first-time dog owner! However their aggressive and timid behavior is considered unacceptable by AKC standards. The American Kennel Club (AKC) is a registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the United States. The Chow Chow is considered to be suspicious of strangers and protective of family. These are intelligent creatures, eager to please their masters. If they are properly introduced and treated fairly, they can be very good companions. Some people characterize it having similar personality as that of a cat. Owning a Chow Chow can raise the cost of insurance of homeowners as some companies regard them as "high risk dogs". A healthy Chow Chow can live as long as 15 years.
