Chow Chow (Rough)
The Chow Chow is naturally aloof and can be stubborn. They can become attached to one person and do have a tendency to snap or bite if they feel threatened. They may look like a cuddly teddy bear, but they are not. However, proper socialization and training will go a long way.

Chow Chow (Rough)
The origin of the Chow Chow is a bit of a mystery. They probably came from Mongolia and Manchuria before being introduced to China. Some historians have found evidence of them from the 11th century B.C. Centuries ago, they were used to guard the temples against evil spirits. The Chow Chow was also used as a hunter, cart-puller and watchdog. They first arrived in Britain in 1780.
