Lexi has curly hair.. Does your chow have a unique trait?
Lexi, my purebred chow has curly hair in her mane, chest and back. Her sister that my parents adopted however, has straight, puffier hair. I feel like she was given curls because I'm a hairdresser and love curly hair and our partnership was meant to be
It's not the greatest picture of her, my blackberry doesn't have a great camera but it does show her unique curls/crimpy ears.

My purebred, red girl, Tippsy, had black tips on her ears and tail. Not HIGHLY noticeable, but it was special. Also how she got her name.
My black mix boy, Jasper, has a white spot on his chest, plus a polkadotted tongue. And I just love the way his ears sit.
My red mix girl, Dixie, has curls. They're all through her back; most prominently on her rear end. She gets crinkles behind her ears. And she's got a partial black "saddle" on her back (from the GAS in her) and the tip of her right her is floppy.
And my orange pom, Todd looks like he's wearing glasses.

My purebred Chow Cassie has "curly" hair when I got her. It is the result of not grooming her.
Buy a pinbrush or pin comb, and a slicker brush.
Detangle the curls with wider spaced pin comb, then narrower pin comb, then finish off with a slicker brush. Cassie's fur will turn like that if I neglect grooming her for 2-3 weeks straight. SHe'd have curls (rather matted fur) especially under her chin area and downwards. if she got wet during a rainshower, she'll have like that on her back and legs as well.

Rio looks like I have been at him with hair crimpers whenever he goes out in the rain, I think the curly hair-do is so adorable, adds character (like Chows need the help )

Lexi is washed and blowdried once a week. She's brushed every day. Her hair isn't matted, it's actually curly.

I have seen a couple others with curly hair. She looks pretty young, as she gets more adult hair, she will lose some of that curl, but probably not all of it. I think it's cute, maybe because I have naturally curly hair, too!

Our new pup, Kage, has about 2-3 inches of black on the tip of his tail (he's cinnamon/blonde). As he's grown it hasn't went away so I'm hoping it stays... it gives him a unique look to match his lion-like mane he's growing into.
