This beauty is my sister and her boyfriend dog Mei. She is Chow Chow. I personally chosen the name, as this breed comes from China, so I thought is should reflect dog's roots. However, Mei comes from Ukraine :)
Those dogs as not so popular as they are not easy to train, and in some cases it just not possible at all. Mei definitely is in the second group.
There is a beautiful legend behind Chow Chow's blue tongue. One day the Creator was painting the sky blue. While doing so one drop of the blue paint fell down. The Chow Chow saw it happening and licked the blue drop away. Ever since Chow Chows have a blue tongue.
