The Chow Chow has been around for at least 2,000 years. It is an ancient breed of dog native to Tibet, China that emerged in England in the late 19th century and was improved upon. In ancient times, the Pinehound was considered an enemy of evil spirits and was used to guard monasteries and tow carts. The Chow Chow belongs to the working dog category and is a versatile all-rounder that can perform hunting, guarding and towing tasks. The griffon has a keen sense of smell and a keen hunting touch, and is adept at hunting Mongolian chickens and Hunan partridges, and hunters have praised the griffon's fast pace and abundant energy.
