Although the origins of the Chow Chow are unknown, this has been known to inhabit China for a very long time. Evidences of its existence have been found to exist around 2nd century BC. The breed might be closely related to Chinese Char - Pei and has been used by Chinese for hunting wolves, herding and even for meat. The dog was introduced to England in the late 1700s or early 1800s by traders and derives its name from the English word "chow - chow" which is a generalized term for all eastern curiosities.
Chow Chow can reach to a shoulder height of 19 – 23 inches, and weighs about 19-32 kg. Chow Chows are a stocky breed; they have a well built frame with a large skull size and a broad muzzle. The distinguishing feature of Chow Chows is the blue black tongues and a mane like ruff behind their heads.
Chow Chows may have long straight coats or short smooth coats, both coats are very dense and since they are heavy shedders they require an adequate care.
