I will pick one up at the earliest possible time.

Thanks again. very helpful and friendly forums here.

There has been no chows on it for 2 years now because they are a rare breed in Alberta anyways.. so 4 days ago I go and look and there is a chow... they didn't know how old he was, from the pictures he was a red boy with badly matted fur. Wow does this make me feel horrible. If there hasn't been on...

Thanks. We did try an anti-pull body harness that my sister lent to us, but it didnt seem to help a lot. I will have to look into this 'gentle leader' harness. Where can you get one? And what makes it different from other harnesses?

We've had chewy for a year now. (It's been about that long since I've been on here too) He's still a very playful and energetic dog. We think he may have been crossed with a german, because he's got the color and coat of one. He's also a heck of a lot bigger than his siblings are. Not so big that he...

Ok I admit I was exaggerating about the rabies thing. But it sure feels like that. We tire him out as much as possible, problem is he has more energy than both of us so its hard. He has lots of toys and he destroys them. Very efficiently. We puppy proofed the house. He's much better now. thanks for ...

Well our puppy is on my last frayed nerve. He's about 3 months old, and he's getting into absolutely everything. I have had to rewire my speakers about 6 times cuz he chews through the wires. We've had to throw out about a dozen pairs of socks. We now need new carpet. He goes out to bathroom when we...

Chewy, although he is still a baby LOVES french fries and pickles. Yes thats right, pickles.

I'll try to mix some hard stuff in there then. I never actually thought that changing the food would have such an effect. But we did gradually change him from his original. We've only got about another 3 weeks of soft food (i'll mix it) before going to hard stuff.

Well we had his first real bad accident. He pooped in his kennel :( I think that he has/had diahrrea (sp) and couldnt hold it. But we cleaned it up (read she cleaned it up) and played with him for about an hour and he was fine. He got a bath today as well. She says he was a very good boy during the ...

Not sure if this post belongs here, but I'll go for it anyway. My young chowling (7 weeks now) eats soft puppy food (canned food) and its good wholesome stuff without any grains or corn. Sometimes his poop is runny, and sometimes its hard. It seems that its usually normal (hard) after a few hours li...

We're fairly sure he is a mix, or at least one of the parents was a mix. The litter owner said that both parents were chow... Well it was hard this morning. I came home about 7ish or so after my shift, took him out, gave him some water, waited about 5 min, took him out again. The first time he poope...

we've been taking him out very regularly. at least once an hour. We know he wants to "go potty" outside. he whines and goes sits by the door or sniffs around. Just sometimes it seems he wants to pee on the floor. we dont punish or do anything to admonish him for it. We just take him outsid...

HELP. puppy pads dont work... and we cant seem to get to him in time to get him outside...

new thread and pictures up under "new addition to the family" thread

How to...STOP NIPPING AND INAPPROPRIATE CHEWING If your chow is chewing on you during play: Say “ouch” in a high pitched voice and stand up folding your arms across your chest (making your arms and fingers less accessible for munching) not making any eye contact with your puppy. what if he chews on...

some more pics. cuz you guys asked. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee144/Gothica1989/IMGP0509.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <a href="http:...

I've checked out the bite thread. It's lots of help. In fact all of the posts on this site help a lot. Even the vet said to say OUCH or yelp like a pup when he bites and stop the play. kind of a stupid question, but I think I should ask. How long do you play for and what? Also whats a normal daily r...

Just so that everyone here doesnt get the wrong idea about me, YES I AGREE that he should have stayed with his mom and litter until 8 weeks. I was hesitant to take him because of that but the so-called breeder thought that just because the mom didnt want them suckling anymore it meant they were read...

His names Chewbaca, Chewy for short. Hes 6.5 Weeks old, And weighs roughly 10 Lbs. Hes got Caramel brown, with some of his hair tipped blue. He loves to chew on everything, and specially likes feet. He also likes to cuddle, and spend time sleeping on our(my Girlfriend and I's) lap. <a href="htt...

thanks for the advice. We'll let you know later today.

I just thought of a couple more questions. How well do chows generally do in cars? And how much harder is it to potty train in the winter? And last one, would kennel training and muzzle training be a good idea or not?

Its all wonderful advice. Yes I know we'll be all "awwww" when we see them, but from the pictures i've seen of adult chows, they dont seem to grow up the way most dogs do. they stay furry and cuddly. Just a bit bigger proportions. I never thought of the baby gates. thats a great idea. no f...

Once again. thanks for all the great info. We'll get to see it on friday. I'm sure we will be taking it home. So on that note, what should Ik be buying. I know all the usual stuff like collar, leash, food, dishes for said food and water, a nice bed and a couple toys (do they respond to the Kong and ...

Thanks for all the great info. Hope it keeps coming. As to the questions posed, 1, I own my house free and clear, im not moving any time soon. 2, My job pays me at least 65G a year. Every 2 weeks steady. plenty of money for caring and good food. Now the whole splitting with the girlfriend thing, i k...

I have an opportunity to get a chow from a friend for no cost. It's a young puppy, around 6, 7 weeks. However I am not sure about it as me and the girlfriend are still fairly young.(early 20s) and I have never owned a dog before. (the girlfriend has owned a Rottwieler when she was a kid) I know that...
