Chow Chows

One of the most distinguishing features about the Chow Chow is their blackish/blue tongue the other being their profuse thick coat. There are two types of Chow with the first being a smooth-coated dog and the other being the rough-coated Chow. Often aloof and a little stand-offish they are however extremely loyal and devoted to their owners and more especially to one person in a household who takes the most care of them.
