The Chow has an under-coat, soft and 
woolly, topped by an outer coat of coarse 
texture—the more profuse, the better. 
This coat is whole-colored — red, black, 
shaded red, yellow, blue, and white. The 
colors most commonly seen in this country 
are the three first named. The deep red 
is most coveted by fanciers. The shaded 
reds are becoming increasingly popular, 
however, owing to their generous coats 
of the desirable straight, coarse texture. 
The general appearance of the Chow is 
a lively, compact, muscular dog, with a 
well knit frame, and tail curled tightly 
over his short back. Ilis skull should be 
flat and broad; muzzle broad from the 
eyes to the point (not pointed like the 
fox) ; nose black, large and wide; teeth 
strong and level; eyes, dark and small; 
ears small, pointed, and carried stiffly erect, 
and carried well forward over the eyes, 
giving the desirable “scowl" ; the shoulders 
are muscular and sloping; forelegs, 
straight, massive and of moderate length ; 
hocks on hindlegs well let down; feet 
small, round, and cat-like. Puppies of 
good breeding bring from $50 to $100. 
The best evidence of the Chow’s in¬ 
creasing - popularity is the provision made 
for the breeds at all large dog shows. The 
classification is most liberal, and the own¬ 
ers of good specimens secure no insignifi¬ 
cant returns in the way of cash prizes and 
trophies of value. 
It is the way of doggy men when 
approaching a strange dog to handle him, 
to give him first the back of the hand to 
smell when, nine times in ten, the dog will 
suffer himself to be handled, or stroked. 
The dog always seems to demand this 
form of introduction from humans. 
Should he be so ill-mannered as to snap 
at your hand, do not withdraw it sud¬ 
denly, or the flesh will be ripped, whereas 
if the hand be held firm the intelligent 
animal will scarcely sink a tooth into the 
flesh. As you grow nervous, dogs grow 
courageous. Great bluffers they are, in 
their way. Any dog you cannot manage, 
get rid of.
