About Chow Chow Dogs

Chow Chows are dignified, independent dogs known for their lion-like mane, blue-black tongue, and aloof personality. One of the most ancient breeds, they originated in China where they served as temple guards, hunters, and sled pullers. Their thick double coat gives them a teddy bear appearance.

Adopting a Chow Chow means welcoming a loyal, one-person dog who is deeply devoted to their chosen human. They are clean, quiet, and well-mannered in the home. Their independent nature means they appreciate an owner who respects their space while providing gentle, consistent guidance.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

30°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Valley temperatures stay relatively mild, but mountain trails can be icy. Keep pets leashed on steep sections and avoid frozen creek crossings. Light snow and freezing rain occur a few times each winter.

Spring

48°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Heavy spring rains can cause creek flooding along popular trail routes. Wildflowers along the Riverwalk make for beautiful outings. Start flea and tick preventatives early as the wooded terrain harbors both.

Summer

68°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

The valley traps humidity, making summer feel hotter than the temperature suggests. Seek shaded trails on Lookout Mountain or walk along the river during cooler morning hours. Always carry water for your pet.
