Chow Chow Dogs Available for Adoption in Bridgeport, Connecticut

BAIKAL (0557)

Hi everybody, I’m Baikal! I’m a 11-year-old male large chow-chow mix. I tested well with other dogs and I was non-reactive in the cat room. I like to go slow on the leash and really take things in- and I would prefer a calm and breed-experienced home where I can settle in for a good nap. If that’s you, apply for me today!

The Chow Chow, a distinctive breed known for its lion like mane and unique blue black tongue, originated in China over 2,000 years ago. These aloof yet loyal dogs are known for their independent nature, dignified demeanor, and protective instincts. Chow Chows require early socialization and training to thrive in a family setting, as they can be stubborn and territorial. With a dense double coat that requires regular grooming and a history as ancient guardians and hunting companions, the Chow Chow remains a fascinating and enigmatic breed in the canine world.
