This has been a very long and heartbreaking journey with our KoBear... as most of you know we have been searching for a new home for him and it's had so many ups and downs and twist and turns that we almost lost hope. After posting an add on kijiji and getting a lot of strange people interested we d...

Thank you all so much for your kind words and efforts to help! I'm grateful for all of you! Cocoa, you are sweet and Im thankful for your kind words!! :) Rex343... I wish it were that easy to meet and see how Koda did with you... I bet you would make an awesome home, same goes to you cherriemater......

Hello Forum.. As most of you may know we went to meet Koda's potiental adopters and the meeting went fantastic.. we waited to hear back from them excited that they would be the ones for Koda... the meeting went SO well. However... we got a phone call awhile ago with news that their son just got a ne...

Hello everyone! We met Koda's potential adopters yesterday and I have to say that they were just so wonderful! They were really nice, knew a lot about chows and I could really sense that they have good hearts! To make things even better... Koda didn't seem to mind them either! He was still a little ...

Oh I don't question why he likes to be near the kids... I like that about him. It's just the temper tantrums that he gets with them sometimes that worry me. I know my dog isn't a mean dog and that he just doesn't like to be around kids all the time.. he doesn't mind it some of the time.. but he gets...

Cocoa, I do wish things were different... but we live in a very small down 3 hours away from our families... however, we are really close with our family and they come ALLLL the time to visit.. seems like someone is always coming here. And when they aren't we are travelling there... so many nieces a...

Oh goodness.. I saw the picture and didn't even see the she is turning four part!! I thought you ment 4 months.. SOOOOO SORRY!! My answer would have been completely different!! Auddymay really answered it well..... I didn't realize she was already four!! BUT GOOD LUCK!! I'm sure you will gain a lot ...

Victory, I totally agree with you.. I know he isn't mean to people he knows.. he did act very odd with my babysitter.. growled at her and cornered her in the hallway.. (he knew her too).. but with actual family and people he is around ALL the time he is good... I think when it comes to our home.. he...

Okay.. it sounds to me that your not seeing a BIG problem here... one that is easily overlooked when dogs are small, but when your pup gets bigger it will no longer be cute or tolerated if she is aggressive towards anyone! Trust me when I say that I speak from experience. We got our Koda when he was...

Cocoa, Rex343, I wish I could say 100% that is was... but I don't know forsure and the risk would be too high to wait and see if it was or not. I just don't know. We had to go to my son/nephews birthday party back home where we are from and wanted to see how Koda would do with everyone (muzzle of co...

Hello Fourm!! I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to respond until now... however, I want to fill you all in on the update thus far... We were schdeduled to meet Koda's adoptive parents this past Monday. They sound like a great couple, they have a big fenced in backyard and patio, all their kids are ...

I'm so sorry for your loss. In my opinion there are only two kinds of people in this world, those that have never really had a strong bond or relationship with an animal and those who have had an animal become their best friend. Seems to me that you are a great loving person with a huge heart... fam...

I appreciate all the support and advice that you have all shown me. It's really helping me get through this and understand that I am doing the best/right thing for us and equally important Koda... I wish I could be selfish and keep him here with us and pretend that none of this happend.. but, that w...

I don't have much time to write again.. my kids are up from their nap.. but I just had to say that I am so thankful for all your efforts, every person that offered me advice and help, I just can't put into words. THANK YOU! I didn't hear from the contact that zhuyos mom gave (above) after I wrote he...

Thank you guys for caring so much and offering all sorts of advice and help.... I can't express how I appreciate it. I have had an really emotional week and found it really hard to write in this forum for a few days... I've been constant with emailing rescues and trainers from all over. There is a r...

Thank you all for your advice, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. Especially right now. Rex, No worries about prying... I am an open book right now, willing to give any information in order to figure this out. The advice you gave was awesome... however, my daughter is only 3 and my son only ...

I know that I am in over my head... and I am guilty of that... I know I am. When we got Koda, had we known then what we know now we would have known it was beyond our experience. (He is our first dog as a family). I was working when we got him and thought things would be alright - we would put him i...

We have a mussle, and we use it when we go out with him or if someone new comes over... but with the kids he would have to wear it ALL day... is that fair? And he wasn't on the couch.. he was on the floor in front of Oscar who was on the couch. :( Because he bit her in the face and pierced her skin....

Hello Fourm.. For those of you who know.. we have a chow named Koda who turned a year old on March 28th. He has captured our hearts since the day he first came into our home and we love him so much. We have had a few issues with Koda when it came to strangers because he was fearful of them as a pup ...

Wish the radio worked for us.... I tried that last night and it didn't seem to help.. maybe if I turn it up a bit.. hopefully tonight we can find the right trick! I'll let you know if I find something that works and if you find something first... let me know!!! :D Good luck on the task.. I have a fe...

Hello fourm.. Once again Koda is up to his crazy antics and has developed a new annoying habit - growling at the crack of dawn. For the past few days we have been kept up from 3:30AM until 6, 7AM because Koda will growl and then bark consistantly... At first I woke up scared thinking someone was in ...

Oh I couldn't imagine!! I would hate to clean that up too.. it would be sad and well.. gross. Koda doesnt seem to have that problem with small critters.. we have an abundance of toads and frogs in my back yard and they hop around and Koda could careless! However, let a squirrel or rabbit come into t...

Are you able to travel at all? Could you consider taking her to a vet out of town?? Seems to me that you have all had a tough run! With her falling and having issues you should make sure you can put her in a safe place, a room that doesn't have stairs.. get baby gates to block her in if need be... y...

Awww!! What a cutie! He really seems to fit right in as one of the dogs! lol Growing up we use to have a cat that would charge everything and everyone that would come into our yard... funny thing was.. it wasn't even our cat! LOL I think some cats - especailly TOM cats have a dominant personality th...

Thank you all for the feedback in the postings! I am more calm now after reading them. I am going to leave it be for a few days and see how things go... if it gets worse or becomes something that I am really concerned about I will bring Koda in. He is in good spirits and seems to be just fine so Im ...
