Chow Chow boy

Chow Chow dogs are considered to be one of the oldest dog breeds hailing from China. Historians say the Chow Chow’s origin dates back to the Han Dynasty between 206 BC to 230 C.E. They were bred primarily for the purpose of  guarding, herding, hunting and as working dogs. 

Chow Chows are known for their strong will and independent behavior. They can be very protective about their families and make the best guard dogs. They are aloof and can be wary about strangers, but early socialization and proper training make them well-behaved and affectionate companions.
