Chow Chow Is Super Uber Duper Cute!

Here's a birthday picture from last year:

The chow is known for having a strong personality and will of iron and does not appreciate too much attention. The chow is aloof and sedentary with a not-completely-deserved reputation of being aggressive. As a member of the family, the chow is loving and devoted, but this does not extend to strangers. Due to his protective nature, the chow can be unfriendly or even aggressive toward people they do not know. He prefers to be the only dog in the house and frequently develops a strong bond with one family member. The chow is not a good choice for families with small children since the breed is not too tolerant of children’s antics. Due to the thick double hair coat, frequent grooming is necessary to prevent tangling and matting of the hair. Care must be taken around strangers and small children unfamiliar to the dog. [Source]
