Originating in Northern China, where it has been recognised for thousands of years, the Chow Chow is one of the most old and unique dog breeds on earth. These amazing dogs command a premium price for their continuous care needs as well as for their original acquisition. The financial commitment covers major expenses for their specific nutritional requirements, regular veterinary care, professional grooming services, and possible health problems that might develop well beyond the large purchase cost. They are easily identifiable with their unique characteristics, which include blue-black tongue and mane akin to a lion. Their strong will and independence, however, create particular difficulties for socialising and training. Though they are not usually as active as some other breeds, Chow Chows need certain exercise routines to keep their physical condition and mental state. These canines can live 8 to 12 years with correct care and attention. Their thick double coat needs careful brushing to avoid matting and keep its unique look. Although they could seem distant to strangers, Chow Chows usually show loyalty and dedication to their selected people, therefore forging close relationships with their family members.
