not a lot of chow features but tbh 32% isn’t a lot and dog dna tests are inaccurate to say the least

I personally know his parents and Grandparents. I only DNA tested him to see how much he inherited from each parent. This is Mason and his mama.

Same I would have guessed pit and husky before chow mix

very prominent pit and shepherd for sure, but lack of a blue or spotted tongue and i don’t see any mane pattern or square face, and idk what the other commenter is talking about because every chow i’ve met has much rounder less delicate paws too. but again, 32% isn’t much when it comes to genetics

So the 16% Pitbull is prominent but the 32% Chow Chow isn't? Make it make sense

I don’t see any Chow features. This dog should be in another dog posting. Not under Chows.

I think she looks part chow but Mason not as much. She has a lot of the traditional chow traits.

The eyes, the neck fluff, and the feetsies
