The name “The Barking Chow” was chosen with careful consideration, as Chows are typically not known for excessive barking. They tend to vocalize only when necessary, which alerts their owners to the presence of individuals near their home or family. When people encounter our Chows, their immediate reaction often includes remarks such as, “Wow, it looks like a lion,” or “Is that a Chow? I haven’t seen one in years.” Their striking appearance speaks for itself. We aimed to capture this unique quality and generate interest, and we believe the name “The Barking Chows” effectively accomplishes that goal.
