CHOW CHOW |
|||||||
History - developed in northern China over 2,000 years ago, the chow chaw was used for hinting, herding, pulling, protection of the home, and as a source for food and fur. Temperament - The quiet, independent chow chow is a one person dog. It is not very demonstrative and can be aggressive, stubborn, and difficult to train. Chows are reserved with strangers and have a tendency to bite. Deep set eyes give these dogs poor peripheral vision, making them more likely to bite if surprised from behind. Upkeep - The rough-coated chow needs to be brushed daily; the smooth-coated variety needs to be brushed a few times a week, daily when shedding. The chow is content with short walks for exercise. Size - height 17-20, weight 45-70 pounds. |
