Does my chow chow look purebred?

[leighannerc]

My boyfriend and I did not receive papers from this dog and being that it was our first pup together, we were a little less educated with the puppy process and did not know to even ask for the papers. However we purchased our chow after seeing both the parents that looked full blooded. She has a completely black and so did her parents. As a puppy we thought for sure she was completely chow but now as she grows older, she seems to have a few features that are different from the standard chow. We love her no matter what and everyone that sees her thinks she is just absolutely gorgeous. We are just curious to think what others think and will someday probably have her tested to confirm. So this is just a poll strictly based off her looks. Please join in:)


I have included both baby pics and pics of how she looks now
ps. her shar-pei sister is also included in a picture who is purebred with papers.

She's gorgeous! So is her shar-pei sister. And yes, your pup looks purebred.

[Stella]

Agreed!

She actually looks a lot like my little baby, Borscht. Borscht started out looking a little pudgy in the face and thought she was going to look a little more stereotypical of the breed. It's amazing to me the various types of Chow Chow's, as it seems like it is impossible to gauge what one is going to look like as it get's older. That's kind of the thrill of being a Chow owner I suppose!! Your baby is absolutely precious looking!

She's beautiful and yes she looks pure chow!

Gorgeous pup! Reminds me a bit of Toshi, who was a stray, and probably not purebred. Any guesses about her mix? The vet thinks maybe Chow/Samoyed...

Toshi looks like an open face chow to me. Could be the angle is deceiving, but that's what I see. Does she have the blue-black tongue? Not that it determines it [not all purebreds have a full colored tongue and some mixes do-my dog Ro's tongue is all most completely blue/black and he's def mix], but some times confirms it a bit more.

Totally, not a serious response, but if you look at the picture, she has a completely green tongue.

[Rory's Dad]

Toshi's pic i mean, not the original post. Perhap's Toshi is Irish Chow like our Rory.

Toshi looks purebred to me. She has the same build my purebred girl had.

Totally, not a serious response, but if you look at the picture, she has a completely green tongue.

lol Now that you pointed it out, that's great!

[kaliuma]

Hehe! I see what you mean about the green tongue!
