The ancestry of the Miniature Chow is attributed to China where he was kept as a guard dog, and also used for hunting. He made his way to England sometime during the late eighteenth century. He is unique with his stiff, stilted movement, blue-black tongue, and such is his appearance that he cannot be mistake for any other breed. He is aloof and stan-offish, extremely loyal to his owner, with a tendency to be a one-man dog. Not noisy, but when roused he is well able to defend home and owner. The Rough Chow has a coat which is abundant, thick, and stands off from the body. It requires about five minutes daily grooming to keep it in good condition. The Smooth Chow has a woolly undercoat with a short topcoat of plush texture. Although red is the most popular colour of both varieties, Followed by black, they can also be seen in the most lovely whole blue, or shades of fawn.
