Re: Chow Puppy Vomits

Hi Licorish, keep cool, occasional Vomiting of food is nothing serious. could be just being eaten to quick or something indigestible was picked up with the food Actually you let your pup just eat the vomited food again, nothing wrong with that. Just observe if there is anything else unusual. Since ...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Your baby looks like a smooth coat 100% chow chow. My Chestnut's ears did not stand up till she was seven months old. So I think your Chow Chow is pure but with a smooth coat instead of rough. Check out Thor and Bear on this sight and you will be wishing your baby were a smooth. They are just too a...

Chow Puppy Vomits

Good evening... I'm here to consult about my chow chow puppy. She'll be turning 3mos this february 11. We got her for 3 weeks now. I just got home from school and found her eating dinner from her bowl (my sister fed her). I just let her be 'cause she looks okay. I went to my room, after a while, she...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Make sure you understand the coloring cues before you invest in a reported cream. Cinnamons and Reds alike will appear to be cream as pups. Any black coloring in the muzzle or tail fur is a sure give away. Pay particular attention to the coloring on the ears. Anything other than a slightly darker h...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Wow, so much activity on this post since i last viewed. Nice to see. Those photos and vids of Chicco running surely make me think 100% chow. The ears are still a bit rounded for my taste, but that doesnt mean not 100% chow. Pretty certain that they will stand at maturity, but a good sign of a large...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

We took Chicco for a walk/play at the park along with my brother's dogs. I've managed to take a video and some pictures. I think he's cute here. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w183/jasmirish/Mobile%20Uploads/image-11.jpg And this is a video of Chicco running (please click on the image to be redi...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Thor's breeder did a great job training bite inhibition, so it has been pretty easy for me. I think this video explains things well: http://youtu.be/sMv_X6ufOIw I only leave a couple of toys out at any given time. The idea is so that he does not become bored with the same stuff lying around. This w...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

I love the way Chicco looks in the fence pic. How clever he was to make an entrance while you were deciding! How chowlike & chowsmart of him to make you think that you chose him when he actually decided on you! 8) Looks like all smooth chow to me and I recognize that hop in the video...I call i...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

He certainly looks very much like a smooth Chow to me. Handsome pup! I love the curly tail, which is something I notice most often with smooths. I'm not familiar with the "bear" or "lion" type designations, but Thor definitely looks like a lion cub at times. My first Chow was na...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

He may very well be a full-on chow. The paws, nose, and coloring look right. He may in fact be a Smooth as Drew suggested. I have nevered owned a Smooth, so my knowledge of how they look as pups is limited. A few pics of the rear hind would help...should be very straight, with just a slight bend at...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Here's the grooming tool I use most often: 5-Inch Gripsoft Rotating Comfort Comb, Medium The rotating pins especially help with the more curly & coarse fur on the back legs. A metal flea comb (~2") is handy for combing the face & head. Don't bother trying the 99¢ plastic variety; they ...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Hi Licorish, Actually if he develops Chow fur you need not one, but three brushes, a scissor and a blow dryer. Brush one: standard pin brush, with soft, elastic bottom. That's the one Simba and Nala likes the most it is like a massage brush. Brush Two: metal rake, miniature garden tool :) , that's ...

Re: Smoothy with No Name

Hi DrewBear! Your Thor is sooo adorable! He does look like Chicco, though they're different with the ears. Chicco's ears stand up on occasion, though I haven't seen it do so frequently. Thor is so playful! And he just looks so gorgeous! He is similar to Chicco in so many ways. Glad you've directed m...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Hi Licorish, you're welcome. Be careful what you wish for :D Simba needs 10 to 15minutes brushing daily with different combs. I need to cut his hair every two to three weeks, give him a bath every one or two weeks and blow dry his chest fur every other day as he is a sloppy drinker and therefore al...

Re: Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Oh... Is that so? Thank you. :) I just wish he'll be more fluffier when he grows up. We love him all the same, I just wanted to know what might his breed were if he's not a pure chow. I've been looking at pictures of chow chow and other dog mixes. Chicco is very playful and lazy at times, but he's q...

Why is my chow chow's fur short? 1st time dog owner

Hi, it's my first time to have a dog/puppy, and they said it's a chow chow. But I've been wondering since I frequently see chow chow puppies with so much fur, and they all look like cute cuddly furballs. Mine is not that furry, but is cuddly nonetheless. Since they told me it's a chow, they told me ...
