i'd guess at a chow or chow mix as well...if a purebred, it looks in rough shape.

Please do some research before blindly deciding on a chow or chow mix. They can be difficult to train for first time owners and have a sadly bad rap on BSL lists. So they need responsible educated owners to help the breed. Look alone isn't a good reason to purchase a dog.

I agree. A chow is definitely not a gift.

No animals should be given as gifts. Unless both parties understand completly what they're getting, you could be looking at trouble.

Their impression of power is remarkable. They give one the feeling of immense reserves of energy, of great reservoirs of knowledge, of tolerance of disposition, obstinacy of purpose, and tenacity of principle. They are responsive, and they have a lot of quiet, good sense.

looks like a Chow Chow to me as well. Might have been shaved though as the coat looks not as full as it should. I second what others have said, please research this breed and that dogs/puppies are generally not a good gift, although there are exceptions.

try these sites:

http://www.dogbreedinfo.com
http://animal.discovery.com/breedsel...lectorindex.do
http://www.hoflin.com/BR/BreedReviewsIndex
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/dogs-faq/breeds/
http://www.petfinder.com/

Most of the Chows I have known I was not well acquainted with and noticed they bark a lot and can be aggressive. My aunt had one that was very sweet and mild mannered, though. I think my own dog could be a chow mix and he's a sweetie. It's just a guess though. You could try the petfinder link to find a mix, which could look a lot like a purebred, but possibly w/ a more even temperment, depending on the mix. There's an option to search by breed and many of the dogs pics are posted.

Looks like a Chow to me or a mix, a friend of mine has a chow & he has lost most of his coat due to a skin problem & his skin is black as well, her vet told her this was a comon thing in this breed.
