Who said dogs don’t sleep on the table like humans? Just look at this cute Chow Chow pup to see they do!

Chow Chow’s are considered to be heaven sent dogs. Appointed to lick the pieces of the sky as God painted it, they are to be given the proper respect and care that is due to them. There are several points to note when taking care of this breed.

• Although they are adaptable to most climates, they should be kept inside.
• Respect the dog’s affection level; they are not fond of being hugged excessively and may take rowdiness as abuse.
• Daily walks for about 15 minute are required to keep them in shape and brushing 3 times a week with a steel comb, a slicker and a pin brush.
• A healthy diet needs to be followed with at least 2 to 3 cups of quality “chow” into 2 meals a day. This of course will depend on the how active the dog is.

Following this regimen will give you a healthy clean dog, and cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

One probable example of how the term “blue blood” to royalty for dog breeds is the “blue tongue“.  The Chow Chow is known for its distinctive blue tongue and Chinese legend has it that when God created the world, he permitted one dog to lick up the pieces of the sky that fell to the earth as he painted it.  Until now the breed has that noble aura and dignified look.  Their blue tongues were also believed to drive away evil spirits when they bark.

The Shar Pei is also known to have the same colored tongue. However, the Shar Pei doesn’t share the same legend but it enjoys being known for its skin and coat. Translated to English, Shar Pei is “sand skin” or “shark skin”.  This functioned as a defense mechanism that allows them to escape being held due to its prickly feel.

Although both share a common physical trait, the Chow Chow and the Shar Pei have their own uniqueness that owners find astonishing.
