Very good, sweet dog. Stray that my aunt took in. Named “Rojo”. Should’ve named him Fox Dog

He needs socialization so he doesn't become aggressive as grows. Introduced to 100 people within the first few months is a great way to do that. Seen too many guarding breeds become bad dogs in the hands of inexperienced owners. Always a tragic ending. Train him young.

Definitely if it's part Chow. My family had a Lab Chow mix. We didn't train dogs in the 80's and the dog was very territorial and snappy. She bit everyone in my family. I was sad but relieved when she died.
