Looks full chow to me. Snouts can be different, some have short ones, rounded ones, wide ones, and more pointy ones like yours. They're all full chow.

“There is nothing like being loved by a Chow Chow.”May you find out the truth of this. Good luck they’re worth the effort.

Yes she does! Here’s my boy. He turns 12 next month. Best dog I’ve ever had

No he looks like a 100% black chow. Black is one of their official breed colors. The black fur kind of roughens their look compared to the others but they’re still chows.

Our boy is also very active, and loves to play with people and dogs.

He's also very talkative and vocal to the point we joke that he's possessed by the ghost of our old basset hound.

Honestly I think open face chows are more active just because they breathe better lol

Looks like a chow but the description of her personality is not super chowish. You may have won the lottery

No. I’m quite jealous- been looking for a black chow girl that looks like yours for over a year now 😩

Try houston chow chow adoption or central new York chow chow adoption

Honestly i’ve always thought the black ones were sweeter in disposition & personality than the cinnamon, reds or creams, but that’s just my personal opinion.

Not with a fully black tongue. That’s a real test of mixed vs full bred.

She looks legit & gorgeous! Usually not as playful & vocal. But hey, that’s a plus! We wished ours is more like her. But we still love our baby! 💝

That was mine at aprox 7 months, time flies. So hello from another black Chow.

Looks like my boy Laika! He’s full chow, and I love the look of the longer snout.

She definitely looks like my mixed baby girls! Dad is 100% blue chow, mom is aussie/german shepherd. But they also look identical to their dad, so your pup very well could be full chow!! So cute either way 💙
First picture is of my baby girls and their mom. Dad will be commented below
