The denser the undercoat, the fluffier the dog appears. The protective guard hairs of the coat are designed to repel moisture and shed dirt. Twice a year double coated dogs will "blow coat." This is when they shed most of their undercoat and the remaining guard hairs may become dry and brittle looking. It may take up to three weeks for a dog to fully blow their coat. This is the time that most mats are formed if dead hairs are allowed to remain without regularly being brushed out. Maintenance of the coat during this seasonal shed is essential to keeping your dog mat free and your home hair free. The undercoat acts to insulate the dog from summer heat, winter cold while the outer guard hairs protect the dog from rain and wind. Double coated dogs should never be shaved; their coats act as a protective barrier from summer heat and scorching sun rays. .

British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme
British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics – 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2016 Hip scores should be considered along with other criteria as part of a responsible breeding programme, and it is recommended that breeders choose breeding stock with hip scores around and ideally below the breed median score, depending on the level of HD in the breed. HD status of parents, siblings and progeny for Kennel Club registered dogs should also be considered, and these together with a three generation Health Test Pedigree may be downloaded via the Health Test Results Finder, available on the Kennel Club’s online health tool Mate Select (www.mateselect.org.uk). In addition, estimated breeding values (EBVs) are available for breeds in which a significant number of dogs have been graded, via the same link. For further advice on the interpretation and use of hip scores see www.bva.co.uk/chs The breed median score is the score of the ‘average’ dog in that breed (i.e. an equal number of dogs in that breed have better and worse scores).

Chow Chow Breed Council Health Survey 2009
CHOW CHOW BREED COUNCIL HEALTH SURVEY 2009 Pauline Lock Health Officer for the Chow Chow Breed Council Report in full Page 1 Table of Contents Abstract Page 3 Introduction Page 3 Method Page 4 Results Page 5 Section A page 6 Section B page 7 Section C page 8 Discussion Page 10 Conclusion Page 12 Appendix 1 Glossary Page 13 Appendix 2 Annex B (KC) Page 19 Report in full Page 2 Abstract This study looks at owner’s perceptions of the overall health of the chow with a focus on the hereditary conditions identified by the Kennel Club to be associated with the Chow Chow. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data. The findings were subjective and qualitative rather than quantitative and provided an indication which areas gave more cause for concern and which areas owners had little or no awareness of. The survey has been successful in its main aim to identify those areas that require further investigation by the Breed Council and has also identified some areas where owners may benefit by making more information about particular conditions. Introduction Towards the end of 2008 the Kennel Club contacted all the Chow Chow Breed Clubs asking the clubs to “review the health information contained in Annex B” which relates to statistics collated from insurance claims which indicated that the most common claims are for “Cruciate ligaments, Skin Disorders, and Entropion”. The second area where information relating to genetic conditions found in the Chow Chow was scientific literature where a further eighteen conditions were identified (see appendix 1& 2) but no indication was given as to how frequently any of these conditions occur in the breed.
