What a great community of Chow lovers!!! Judy you've sown a seed into this site! I think you've got alot of people on board to help. Also I was thinking that maybe you could add a short 'poem' or 'personal quotes' between the chapters/stories. There are so many beautiful chows on this site too, the ...

Yep! Lou was right on the money! everyone knows about chocolate being toxic, but what you have to remember is it's the amount /to the size of the dog! One choc.chip cookie isn't gonna kill your chow/ however the chocolate is still toxic to them! Same applies to Grapes and Onions If your not sure, do...

Chowlover! These are the cutest pictures! I had to get my husband over here to see them.(He thought they were pretty cute too!) It made use jealous that we did'nt get a purebred chow this time! :( Chi-Ching is soooooooo Beautiful, and I love that BIG smile! Maybe oneday will get Tucker a little play...

Hi all, I forgot to ask! The one bad thing that Tucker keeps doing is chewing the corner of my area rugs!(mostly for attention) But does anybody know of anything that works that I could put on them? And he seems to chase his tail alot in the morning, I think it might be out of boredom too, or is it ...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know how things were going with Tucker. He's 15 weeks now. And we are finally getting some sleep! We are no longer getting up in the middle of the night for a bathroom break! He has done so well with house training(never thought I'd use a crate.but now I would hig...

Yep! All great advice-chowmene! I feel for you though! I'm still going through this with Tucker! It's getting much better! He's 15 weeks, and mostly now only mouths/bites us when he gets too excited! If he's not too wound up he's finially starting to listen to "Don't Bite"! after weeks and...

So sorry about poor Pip! We had three dogs when we lived on the farm Saber(hyper mixed mutt),Sunny(a little old Golden Lab that someone left behind when they moved! Nice ! So we took him in) and Bear! Three males that had to figure out there own heirarchy! They were fine with their food ,each got th...

Hi Xueshuxin I understand your anger! Just because HuanHuan is a mix bred not a purebred is no need to give HuanHuan up! My dog is a mixed breed and actually I prefer that! (Just my own opion) I think you and your sister should first try to talk her into giving you Huan Huan or selling! But if not d...

Congratulations on #1 B-Day!

She is really beautiful!


Leigh & Purple kisses from Tucker!

Hi, Eating and Sleeping were Bear's favorite hobbies!(we called him a bear-rug) I did'nt get Bear until he was 2 so I don't know what he was like as a puppy. But Tucker seems to have quite a bit of chow behavior in him even though to look at him most would think he was a purebreb black Lab. (But he'...

Hi Jess, Neat picture of the tongue! You could try this! First make sure you thoroughly clean the crate out! Twice if nesessary! Then throw in a small handful of his food ( 5-6 Pieces) Tell him "Crate" and let him go in and eat them! Then let him come out and praise him! Then take him outs...

Hi Barbara! Welcome! I'm going through something similar with Tucker! He's 14 weeks old, and we still are getting up in the middle of the night to take him out for a Pee! But last night he slept almost 6 hours straight so I think it won't be much longer. Thankfully-----Yawnnnnn! But he also has soft...

I'm so sorry your 'trips' with Gracie are running you down & out! I remember when we first got Bear he too would chase everything, he loved to chase the horse when we lived on the farm. Until one day the horse kick him in the head- split his lip open! But that was the end of chasing the horse! H...

Awwww.
They're so cute!
Love that big purple smile!

Congrats- Jeff

I hope you have many years left to enjoy Peoke!
I think you're doing a great job with her!

I hope she knows how much you love her!
But I'm sure she does!



Leigh

Get him in to see the vet right away!!!

Worms can wreak havock on a puppy even kill him if it's really bad!
He should give him an oral dose of 'Drontal'' then give you some 'pyrantel pamoate' to give him about two weeks later.Some dewormers only work on certain types of worms.



good luck

When we got tucker back in March they were feeding him wal-marts OL Roy. Now that's crap!!!!! He was having about 6 bowel movements a day! Then he got diarrhea! I switched him over to Pedigree (that's what I use to feed Bear) But the puppy mix is crap!! So we had to take him to the vets because of t...

Congrats- Tovya

All the best to you! You must be soooooo excited!

Just remember that....when your waking up in the middle of the night for bathroom breaks! hehe

All kidding aside , hope you get a beautiful baby!

Hi everyone, Tucker's now almost 14weeks! He's getting better at meeting new people, (no growling) but he still gets pretty timid! His hair goes up just taking him outside to the corner sometimes! (I usually so nooo and smooth it out) (it helps) But his been pretty good with the kids, he really like...

Great pictures Jeff!
Love the black and white one -stunning!

And I'm so sorry to hear about all you've been through, it must be so tough on you both mentally and financially too! But I believe in doing all you can for them!

all my best

Leigh

O.k Here's a story that will make your skin crawl!!!!! When we lived on my Mother's farm, she had a few dogs. One a little black lab was pregnant and ready to give birth! But my Mom could'nt find her anywhere, so she asked me to walk around the farm and see if I could find her! Well.... after a long...

Wow... alot of really good responses- Thank-you First let me say that Melaine and I are pretty close to being on the same train of thought! Your advice was very well thought out and pretty much what I would say myself! Jeff.... Although I can't agree on the whole premise of it's my chow leave it alo...

I agree Chowlover, I think socialization is key in any dog, but especially chows, even if they don't come to like strangers they do have to learn to tolerate them, and Growling is a big NO-NO! So I will have to continue to expose him to as much as possible (slowly of course)! Reward for good behavio...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm not new to the chow behavior as I had Bear for quite a long time, and even though I completely trusted him with my family I always had to be watchfull in certain curcumstances! I loved Bear very much and he too rarely (until he got older) ever welcomed anyone to pet h...

Hi all, Remember a few posts ago I told you about the repair guy that just reach down and rubbed the top of Tucker's head really ruff and Tucker growled and snapped at him. Well now yesterday I had him in the front to get him use to seeing all the kids come home from school and wait for my daughter ...
