The country of origin of the Chow-chow is China. This lovely is indubitably loyal to its family and devoted to its home. Legend has it that during the creation of the world, when stars were choosing their places in the firmament, just one dog was allowed to lick a scrap of the sky. That dog was the Chow-chow, whose tongue from that day on has been of the blue colour. Thanks to that fascinating story Chow-chows are sometimes called the “dogs who licked the sky”.
