    The Chow Chow or Chow (from Chinese: ) is a dog breed originally from northern China, where it is known as the "Fluffy Lion-dog" (sōng shī quǎn 松狮犬) in Chinese.

    The breed has also been called the Tang Quan, "Dog of the Tang Empire". It is believed that the Chow Chow is one of the native dogs used as the model for the Chinese guardian lions, the traditional stone guardians found in front of Buddhist temples and palaces.

    History

    The Chow Chow has been identified as a basal breed that predates the emergence of the modern breeds in the 19th Century.

    The breed probably originated in the high steppe regions of Siberia or Mongolia, and much later used as temple guards in China, Mongolia and Tibet. A bas-relief from 150 BC (during the Han Dynasty) includes a hunting dog similar in appearance to the Chow. Later Chow Chows were bred as a general-purpose working dog for herding, hunting, pulling, and guarding. From what records survive, some historians believe that the Chow was the dog described as accompanying the Mongolian armies as they invaded southward into China as well as west into Europe and southwest into the Middle East in the 13th century AD. The breed belongs to a subset identified by a particular genetic cluster, which includes breeds from central Africa, the Middle East, Tibet, China, Japan and the Arctic. It has been suggested that the origin of this subset may have originated with pariah dogs in Asia, who migrated with nomadic human groups.

    Daddy Has a Tail

    Daddy Has a Tail is the second studio album by Minneapolis-based noise rock band Cows and their first to be released by Amphetamine Reptile Records in July 1989.

    Recording

    The album was recorded and mixed by David B. Livingstone, who at the time was the guitarist for God Bullies, and producer Tim Mac. Originally, the record had been mixed to videotape but the result was of poor quality, forcing Mac and Livingstone to remix the entire album from scratch within the relatively short time span of 4 hours. Livingstone has said, "I always felt that they got really screwed. I felt really bad." and that he intends to eventually remix the entire album from the original masters.

    Release

    The album was never released on its own on CD. It can be found on the Old Gold 1989–1991 compilation released in 1996, with the exception of the song "Chow". Amphetamine Reptile Europe released the album in its entirety on a two-for-one CD that included "Peacetika", although "I Miss Her Beer" and "Sugar" are combined into one track.

    Talk to me baby, I'm listening
    Lay down and tell me what's on your mind

    I don't mean to disregard your feelings but I think that he's a fool
    He don't know how sensitive you are and baby that just ain't cool
    I'm just glad, I can be there for you when you need a helping hand
    When deep inside my heart from the start I know I should've been your man
    Lay down and tell me what's on your mind
    What exactly did he do to make you cry this time
    Well, I will be your comforter, I will make it right
