Re: Barking

I realize that the breed is different. We had a rotty that did almost the exact same thing, but it would also happen during rainy periods as well. I got beyond irritated and finally took him back to my vet, that also taught obedience. As it turns out, our rotty had one deformed leg and they had to d...

Re: New to Chow World

Well, Dakota just got put in his place, very firmly I might add! We also have an old girl, Jersey that is a shih tzu. She is 13 and used to being around other dogs, but Dakota can not be fixed until he puts on some more weight and is a bit healthier. So he goes to sniffing tonight, as usual. Then he...

We will never know for sure, he was thrown out of a moving van and lived on the streets for about 3 weeks before deciding he could trust me. I appreciate all of your insight to the breed. Dakota is probably mixed with either husky...

Hi!!

I am new to the Chow world, but it happened quite by accident. There was a stray dog, part chow, part SOMETHING else hanging around my work, living off the streets for about 3 weeks. So I started trying to get him to trust me, figured I could foster him until I could find his people. I started with ...
