The Canaan Dog is light-footed and can
turn on a dime. He will take as much exercise as you can offer, yet adults
are calm enough to curl up on the sofa when the day's work or fun is over. |

Many Chinese Sharpeis snort, grunt,

others. |

Chow Chows shed a LOT. You'll find
hair and fur all over your clothing, upholstery, carpeting, under your
furniture, on your countertops -- even in your food. Frequent vacuuming will
become a way of life. Make sure you're REALLY up for this. |

also plays the clown, greeting people with two tennis balls stuffed into his
mouth and his entire rear end wagging. |

(American) |

Average Height:
