Hi Lee, Quan Yin is a Chow-Chow. Even though she's "pumpkin" colored the color is referred to as red. I have another Chow-Chow, a male named Charlie Chan, who's color is blue. Not really blue of course, but a deep, very pretty, gray color. He's big for a Chow, over 90 lbs. and not obese. Quan Yin is around 85 lbs, she's good sized also. Other breeds have blue dogs too, Great Danes, Dobes, Kerry Blue Terriers, Shar Peis just for an example of some. We had another Chow-Chow, a female named Pooh-Pooh, who was fang's dog. Pooh died in April and was much smaller than the other two dogs at about 56 lbs. We had to keep the two females separated they fought so much. I have never seen worse dog fights than two female Chows. Never have two females, at the same time, again. I do love the breed though....not everyone does. Mamie
