Chow Chow puppies are adorable pets known for their furry coats, heavy build, stilted walk, and blue/black tongue.  Chow Chows come from Northern China and are normally good with children and other household pets.  They are normally affectionate and loyal with family members but sometimes reserved with strangers and stubborn.  The Chow Chow grows to between 17 and 20 inches in height and will weigh between 45 and 70 pounds as an adult.  Chow Chows can be somewhat lazy so they need regular exercise, brushing and bathing.  Due to its heavy coat, the Chow Chow is not well suited to warm, humid climates (outdoors).  Chow Chows need early socialization and training to avoid behavioral problems as they grow older.  The Chow is known to suffer from eye and hip complications.  The Chow Chow was originally breeded as a hunting and working dog but today makes for a good guard dog.  The following videos illustrate several examples of Chow Chow puppies.
