Chow chow
Known for their fur looking like the mane of a lion, these fluffy babies are some of the cutest puppies out there! Together with their peculiar colored tongue (yes, it’s supposed to be blue), you cannot help but want to hug them all day long! They truly live up to their name as bear dogs, with how close they resemble a teddy bear.
But did you know that they have a not so floofy counterpart? It doesn’t seem possible for such furballs to not be soft and snuggly, but the smooth-coated Chow is their less fluff cousin (who is actually covered in wrinkles)!

I had 4 St Bernards and 2 Newfies (not at the same time, except for a St. Bernard and a puppy Saint. loved them all, but they do not live as long as smaller dogs. Of course, there are special ones that live a tad longer, Mostly 8-10 years. The undercoat keep them warm and they are water dogs. Had a kiddie pool for the Newfies and would put tennis balls in the water and they would rescue them out. Used to get a full trashbag full of undercoat when brushed, (literally). Would leave some out for the birds and they would take it to lne their nests. The lucky little ones. St. Bernards did not particularly like water, but were right at home with the snow and the Newfies, obviously water. LOVED LOVED both breeds. Now have had to downsize to a toy poodle who has his own personality, I had a dog since I was 7 and now am 77, soon to be 78.
