Don't people eat them in China or Vietnam or Japan or something? I can't remember but it was one of those countries. I think one of those nature dudes eat a dish (maybe Jeff Corwin??) that had Cicadas over something fried, I think they were half cooked or something. I remember someone had chocolate ...

17yr Cicadas in May

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada It will be dreadful, messy, and so many of them! Probably in the thousands or more. I have to remember to cover my plants and tell my grandmother to have my dog (Vickki, Rottweiler) inside and if she must be outside to have someone to leash her and walk her even a...

Its been a while

Hi all, its been a long while since I last posted. I've been busy on the lab chat board and justlabradors. As you can see I don't have a Chow Chow yet, I've been thinking if I could actually get one when I move. But, I'm still not sure what breeds are banned in the condo complex where I plan on movi...

Thanks everyone for your comments. Let me explain a few things though, what I didn't say was that if it was at all possible I DO plan on going to the breeder and flying with the puppy back home. So dont get me wrong with that. But, if it wasn't possible I was worried about shipping the puppy in the ...

Breeders: What to Look For?

What does one look for when looking for a chow chow breeder? I know most Rb breeder's don't ship; but I dont see the problem with shipping dogs or puppies or even cats and kittens. Its safe, there are poilices that are followed by the airlines and the breeder. So why are so many breeders so against ...

On Chow Chow Centeral, they require a fenced in yard, but what about those who live in an apartment? (Like me, and my next place will be a condo that use to be apartments) I don't think that is acutally fair, I have known many chow owners that live in apartments, and they didn't have a fenced in yar...

Do you remember the breeder's name? I want to avoid going all the way to Ohio, if I could (the chow breeder is in Ohio), because they allow the puppies to go home at six weeks old, but if the puppy is getting shipped they go home at eight weeks of age. So that worried me.

Currently (living with my parents until I can get a decent job): We've had a dog (which lives with my grandmother, because the apartment complex wouldn't allow her) which is a Rottweiler who has her own dogster page, named Vickki. Had a cat, and my first cat. My UIL and AIL passed away months from e...

lol, that is funny Jeff! I just don't want Yasha (future chowling) to get bored doing the same thing (sitting home, sleeping, eating, etc.) so I figure if I can get some obedience training in, Yasha will be able to do the events in Florida. I may try a resuce, since they are trained, somewhat. Just ...

Jobs for Chow Chows?

What type of working dog is a Chow Chow besides a Guard dog? They had them listed under Non-sporting and then Guard Dogs on dogbreedinfo.com. I want to have a job for my future chow to do. I plan on also getting a Labrador Retriever and he will be in Obedience, TDI, and probably the show ring (not n...

You are in my prays. Maybe the doctor DID read the results and its something bad and he wants to spare you? I know some (few) doctors are that way. They avoid the truth to spare people, who really dont as for it. It could of been a frog, was he outside by himself? King toads, etc can make a dog sick...

Raising Two Puppies?

Is it wise for people to raise two puppies at the same time? What is the pros and cons of it? I know its harder with the training and house training. But, what are the other issues people may or have faced with raising two young puppies side by side? Especially when they get older? Whether two femal...

I think that you are keeping a tight grip on him, one key of getting them used to being petted by people or being around other animals is for them to get used to people coming near them. Also, animals can sense you are neverous about something and will react. I think that you should take him to a pu...

Chow Questions

I wanted to ask if you think that chows make good apartment dogs? I know that I've seen one out here last year, but the person moved. Anyways, my apartment complex only allows dogs that are up to 18 inches, but I had planned on going up to 20-22 inches. I've been looking at chows lately, what do you...
