| CHOW CHOW |
|
Chow Chow, or Chow, is a breed of dog originating from Mongolia and Northern China,
where it is referred to as Songshi Quan (Pinyin: songshi quan), which literally means "puffy-lion dog."
It is believed that the Chow Chow is one of the native dogs used as the model for the Foo dog, the traditional
stone guardians found in front of Buddhist temples and palaces.
The Chow Chow is a highly intelligent dog and values his independence. He can be hugged and played with.
He can even be corrected -often by a tone of voice, but he should never be allowed to dominate the household.
He is usually amenable to being touched by strangers if he is introduced by one of his owners and approached properly.
Quiet, refined, he should not be teased or treated as a lap dog. His dignity and aloofness must never be confused
with a fierce or intractable temperament. He minds his own business and does not generally initiate trouble.
Bad-tempered Chows are not representative of the breed, but are usually the result of indiscriminate breeding
and a woeful lack of "socialization". The Chow's appearance and personality suggest the nobility of a lion,
the drollness of a panda, the appeal of a teddybear, the grace and independence of a cat, and the loyalty and
devotion of the dog.
The Chow has a little of all these qualities in his appearance and in his behavior. It is, however,
his particular intelligence and devotion, his independence and dignity which make him unique.
