Re: Separation Anxiety

Our chow mix came from a shelter. She had a lot of separation anxiety her whole life it was not until she was older 9-10 when it finally subsided. That said we would crate her. She would bark her head off for about 30 minutes and then lay down in disgust. I setup a web cam to watch. She was rarely l...

Re: Is my dog a chow?

I don't know enough to comment on the Chow Chow appearance. We had a Chow mutt. You can spend some money and there are companies you can send a saliva swap to and they will give a profile of the breeds. We did that with our dog and it seemed pretty accurate based on her appearance.

Re: How will she look?

Fluffy!! We had a Chow/Australian shepherd/retriever mix. Weighed about 65lbs. She looked similar except no black. Had the fluffiest neck fur.

I considered this bonding time. If given the choice during the day they would probably be happier st...

Re: Adopting a Senior Chow with Children

Can you spend more time at the shelter with the dog? I know some shelters let you take dogs out. If you did that for a week you may have a better idea.

Re: chow chow mix stomach cancer and passing

Thanks for the nice comments. The last few days have been a little better. Ive still lost it a few times but I have tried hard to focus on the good times and not the last days. Sorry for your losses. Stomach cancer I would think would be one of the more miserable things when the one thing you want t...

And Im saying that because I know Chow's often get a bad name and I may not have even considered getting her had I known sh...
