One of my dogs was a female Chow...(heather, RIP), she was a 70# strawberry blonde with a navy-royal blue tongue...that dog disliked EVERYONE except me& my mother...some of my neighbors have commented that Sammy looks like a miniature version of her...except that he doesn't growl at them.
She did get along with cats but she was raised as a puppy with them, didn't know any better.
thanks for explaining CBT initials....
