If you love canines, this post is for you! In it, we are going to introduce you to the Chow Shepherd. Chow Shepherds are a hybrid breed of dog, a cross between the Chow Chow and German Shepherd. They are medium-sized dogs with a large head and square muzzle with black coloring around their eyes and mouth.

Chow Shepherds have been used as military dogs, police dogs, therapy and assistance animals, hunting companions, and search-and-rescue partners.

The Chow Shepherd has a lifespan of 10 to 13 years. Most people believe that the Chow Shepherd should not be allowed to reach age 10, as old age is usually associated with many health problems. Senior dogs can be difficult to handle, and their reactions may be unpredictable and aggressive.
