Everyone, meet Chowder.
He’s a Chowchow and as you can see, he’s groomed to perfection.
The breed that’s originally from northern China is referred to there as ‘Songshi Quan,’ meaning ‘puffy-lion dog.’
Accurate.
This fellow you see here however, lives with his loving hooman family in the Philippines and judging from his Instagram page (with a huge 428k followers) we think we can confirm five fun facts about the floofy fellow purely from gawking at his pics for the last while.
He Really Likes His Veg
If Chowder can learn to love his broccoli/cauliflower, we can too.

He Has a Blue/Black Tongue
This goes for all Chow Chows. We can spot a hint of pink too!

And of course, if anyone hopes to one day have the chance to add a dog/pet to their family, and they have the time, patience and ability to do so – adopt, don’t shop! We’re sure Chowder would approve.
