I have no advice, except keep trying, socialization is so important.

Re: Crazy People

I'm glad your husband reported it. I would've freaked out if someone said they were going to shoot my Stella! Was your husband cleaning up business in someone's front yard? People can be very particular when you're on their property.

Re: What type of Collar works best for you Chow?

I use a harness, too. It's great for control. She also has a regular collar with her name and number on it.

Re: The dog who has everything...

Stella loves squeaky chew toys, but I have to watch and toss when the stuffing starts to come out (they make stuffies that are rated on a scale - she can chew through the toughest of them).
Doggy ice cream
She LOVES hard boiled eggs, too.

Re: Uses for chows

Stella serves as an excellent alarm clock, even on weekends (5:30am!!) she bustles about and talks a lot to let me know it's time to get up.

Re: Best foods to feed a chow

This thread has lingered in my brain way too long for me not to do something about it, so I've determined that I'm going to upgrade Stella's diet to Taste of the Wild.

If all goes well, I'll be sure to share the news with everyone :)

Re: Chows and coughing

My chow is the exact opposite, if I have a coughing fit, she jumps up on my bed and stands above me on my pillow. AS if on guard to ward off the coughing monster. If I wasn't so miserable while sick, I'd find it amusing.

I like the idea of tossing a treat when you cough.

Re: Older Chow Chow Barking almost Non-stop

I second the Vet recommend, sounds like he's distressed about something. Has anything changed, new member in the household, new routine?

Re: Best foods to feed a chow

I thought the same thing when the vet recommended it, but have had zero issues.

Re: Chow Breeder?

Acovio Chows in Crook, Colorado. The breeder is eccentric, but she loves her furbabies and they are as sweet as can be. A quote from her: We raise wonderful AKC chow chows w/ good temperments. We aren't a puppy mill & the babies are handled from day 1. Look over reviews & we have references....

I've been feeding my Stella Science Diet Advanced Fitness for the last three years. It was recommended by my vet and she (my furbaby) likes it.
