Chow Chow a medium-sized dog with a distinctive short-coupled body, erect ears and very thick, medium length coat; a smooth, short-coated variety is recognized in the United Kingdom. The breed is distinguished by a blue-black coloring on the tongue and much of the mouth. It is subject to myotonia congenita, believed to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, dysmyelinogenesis and a tyrosinase deficiency, and is predisposed to malignant melanomas and entropion. |

Sally Cruikshank, 54, of Northridge described her chow chow named Lulu as having a ``primitive brain,'' noting the animal apparently does not understand the concept of ``fetch'' and had a hard time learning basic obedience commands. The breeds that MetLife has identified as a high risk include American Staffordshire Terrier, chow chow, German shepherd, Doberman pinscher, Malamute, husky, pit bull, Rottweiler, dingo and "any other dog that has a previous bite history," Berstein said. In addition to the dogs at his kennel, Dorafshar says he has a very lovable pit bull, Rottweiler, Doberman pinscher and chow chow at his house. |
