Capturing the Chow Chow's Unique Look
When coloring these dogs, you can experiment with the five standard coat colors recognized for the breed: red, black, blue, cinnamon, and cream. Their thick double coat requires some shading to look truly fluffy, especially around the distinctive ruff that frames their face.
If you are working on the detailed portraits, try using colored pencils to build up the texture of the fur. You can also give them a slight resemblance to a wild lion by using warm oranges and browns for the mane.
Fun Facts for Coloring Time
Parents and teachers can share a few interesting facts while kids work on the puppy sheets. This ancient breed originally comes from northern China, where they were kept as working dogs.
- They are famous for having a blue-black tongue, a trait they share with only a few other animals.
- Their hind legs are unusually straight, giving them a unique, stilted gait when they walk.
- A Chow Chow's tail curls tightly over its back, resting flat against the fur.
Choosing the Right Page
