What do you think she is a pure breed?

Post by HAlexaMaria »

Masha is a femele Chow of 6 years. Lately some people ask me why is she so short then the other Chows. Please take a look at the pictures. I am just curious for more opinions. Thank you ImageImageImageImageImageImage

The standard for a chow is 17-20 inches and 45 to 70lbs. The females are usually smaller and weigh less too. There are not as many chows around in most location as there were in the past. Around here in Minnesota most kids have never seen one and their parent, it has been a very long time. So I think they thinks chows were taller because they were kids the last time they saw one.

She doesn't look short at all. I think she's probably taller than most female chows in the USA. How tall is she at the shoulder and how much does she weigh?
She looks pure to me but would be considered a cream because she has white whiskers and light or liver color nose.
