We present the results of the experimental studies of the low temperature transport and magnetic properties of PbTe, Pb_{1-x}Sn_{x}Te (x ≤ 0.3) and SnTe crystals doped with 0.5 at.% of chromium. Cr was found to be a resonant donor in PbTe and PbSnTe. Magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed that PbTe:Cr and Pb_{1-x}Sn_{x}Te:Cr (x ≤ 0.2) are Curie paramagnets whereas SnTe:Cr exhibits van Vleck paramagnetism.
