Best Answer

Chow Chow dogs are a Chinese Arctic Hauling(Sled) dog like a Husky, they also look a bit like a bear and a lion and are absolutely gorgeous! In Northern China and Mongolia they are called "Songshi Quan" which means "Puffy Lion Dog"

you should Google image search "Chow Chow" and "Songshi Quan" A COMMON MISCONCEPTION is that they have very bad temperaments. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I currently own 2 purebred Chow Chows, and my family bred them growing up. I have NEVER encountered a mean Chow, not a stranger's, not any that I or my parents owned... and my parents rescued a 3 year old male that was not neutered from an abusive home. They are a stubborn breed, though. If you want a dog that will ALWAYS listen to commands this isn't it, even if they are well trained, and they are given a command they TECHNICALLY will obey it. I.E. If you tell it to 'come' it may walk over to you then immediately turn and walk away.

How does an akita mix chow look like?

The body in length is longer than the height. The breed has small erect ears and also a large head compared to the body. The face resembles a bear because of its dark muzzle. The Akita and Chow breed are fairly medium to large breeds which ranges from 40 lb to 100 lb depending on which breed is more dominant. This hybrid breed is also very intelligent and comprehends commands and tricks within minutes. Although this breed makes a great guard dog and companion, it is not recommended for inexperienced owners. I rescued one from the animal shelter and I did not need to potty train her whatsoever. She's also very observant and responds to my emotions by performing tricks. <img src="http://b5.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01308/50/62/1308932605_l.jpg" width="300"><br><img src="http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v125/162/78/904750400/n904750400_1405649_7271.jpg" width="300"> http://b5.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01308/50/62/1308932605_l.jpg http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v125/162/78/904750400/n904750400_1405649_7271.jpg

When does the hair get longer on a Lhasa Apso Mine Still has short but I have been told she doesn't look like anything like a Lhasa Apso?

If the hair of a Lhasa is not long by 6 months, "but probably sooner" than you may want to double check that it is a full breed lhasa Apso and not a mix of another breed, for this may be true.

I believe it was a chow chow Chow chows look like lions. Rhodesian Ridgebacks were bred to help hunt lions.

Sorry but no they are not. They are just regular Chow chows that people dye black and white. I know I have 3 chows. I dye them all once a year. Get the dye that doesn't bleed. Don't use people dye and make sure it's dog safe and have your vet check it.

What does a beagle chow mix dog look like?

There is no correct answer for this one. You could say somewhere between the lab and chow, but I've seen many mixes that looked like pure bread animals. Sometimes only an experienced person can really tell, and to be honest, a mixed breed can (sometimes) make a better pet (The breeders will hate me for that one). 30+ years with chow chows has taught me that Chows can be very hard headed and mean (protective) animals. Mixing with a lab can produce many good qualities. You can train a chow to fetch your neighbors dog a lot quicker than a ball.
