About
The Chow Chow dog breed is one of the oldest and most distinctive dog breeds in the world, originally from China. Known for its dense double coat, lion-like mane, and unique blue-black tongue, the Chow Chow stands out among all dog breeds. In India, they are admired for their appearance but require experienced handling and proper care. They are independent, loyal, and reserved dogs. They are deeply attached to their families but can be aloof with strangers. Unlike highly social breeds, they are more cat-like in behavior and prefer their own space. Early training and socialization are essential.
The Chow Chow price in India typically ranges between ₹30,000 to ₹1,00,000 depending on breeder quality, color, and lineage. Monthly maintenance costs range from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 including grooming and healthcare.
