Chow Chows are medium-sized dogs with a sturdy, square-built frame. They are instantly recognizable by their dense double coat, which can be rough or smooth, and their distinctive lion-like mane around the head and shoulders. Their coat colors include red, black, blue, cinnamon, and cream. One of their most unique features is their blue-black tongue. Chow Chows have deep-set, almond-shaped eyes, and small, triangular ears that stand erect. Their overall appearance exudes dignity and strength.
