Yes, a mix, but a very cute one. Put 'Mr.N and Shiloh' in the search engine, you may be surprised!

Looks he may be part Keeshound, they are related to chows, or Norwegian Elk hound. They also are of the Northern breeds and related to chows. Whatever he is, he's a cutie.

I can see part German Shepherd, Keeshond, or Norwegian Elk Hound by his markings and ear size, but he does look mostly chow. :)

The ears are a little too high set and large, tail seems a bit too long, facial shape is a bit too pointy and that color doesn't exist in Chows. I'd say German Shepherd or another breed that contains the sable color along with Chow.

A mix can certainly contain some of the more well known Chow traits.
