#13: Chow Chow Breed

Price: $2,900

The Chow Chow, originating from China, is a distinctive breed known for its thick, plush fur in shades of red, black, blue, or cream. Priced around $2,900, these dogs are admired for their teddy bear-like appearance and loyal, protective nature, making them excellent family companions.

While affectionate with their families, they can be aloof with strangers and other dogs, requiring early socialization. Their dense coat demands regular grooming to maintain its beauty and health. However, they are not hypoallergenic, which may be a consideration for allergy sufferers.
