JARKK Labradors and Chow Chows We have welcomed Chow Chows into our family and show team.
The Chow Chow is an ancient breed with a history that dates back over 2,000 years to northern China. Originally bred for a variety of purposes, including hunting, guarding livestock, and pulling sleds, the Chow Chow has long been valued for its strength and versatility. Over the centuries, this distinctive breed has become known for its loyalty and protective nature, making it a cherished companion in households around the world. Chow Chows are medium-sized dogs, typically standing between 43 to 51 cm in height and weighing between 20 to 32 kg. They are best recognized for their lion-like mane, blue-black tongue, and the deep wrinkles on their face. Their thick double coat comes in various colours, including red, black, blue, cinnamon, and cream. With a life expectancy of 11 to 12 years, Chow Chows are known for their strong-willed and independent nature, often bonding closely with their family while remaining reserved with strangers. Chow Chows are known for their aloof and independent personality, often displaying a reserved nature around strangers. They are deeply loyal to their families and can be very protective, making early socialisation and training essential. Due to their strong-willed nature, Chow Chows are best suited to households with experienced dog owners who can provide consistent guidance and structure. While they are not overly affectionate, they form strong bonds with their loved ones and can be devoted companions. These dogs have moderate exercise needs, enjoying daily walks and some playtime, but they are not as energetic as some other breeds. They tend to prefer a calm and quiet environment, making them better suited to households without small children. Their thick coat and sensitivity to heat mean that they thrive in cooler climates.
