My hubby's dog we just lost not too long ago was a black chow / lab ? mix. She stopped even the Sears guy from wondering around. Bodily blocked him and just woofed til someone got there. She didn't have any teeth hardly , she would not have bitten anyone. Being black no one had wanted her. We took h...

When I first got Kearra someone felt the need to tell me that his Dad had a cream and a red but the red one would bite people.........he said his Dad didn't have a Black one because they are the MEA...

They don't seem to take full chows really from what I can tell. Almost all the ones we have homed are black or mostly black. Including the black great dane new add...

I cannot say I would feel safe mushing anywhere. I would get myself killed or seriously broken and I don't break easy. I do like the cart though and my pups sure like it. I agree you guys, that one has to be careful. We have one old dog here that just walking him to far on a leash can cause his old ...

there are alot of folks that do it. It is fun. What little bit we have done. We had the harnesses custom made for each dog so they would not get hurt. Made our own cart out of bits we salvaged. They like pulling. The husky of course does. I had read that chows used to pull so we let her try and she ...

Would never consider any of mine pulling anything when it is warmer than 80 degrees out. We do some of this for our husky and the shepherd is learning . Helps get some of their energy out . I don't ride a scooter, they just pull a cart. Yes, Shandi our chow likes getting into the act as a lead dog o...

I actually have a regular rubber ? bristle people brush that Shandi likes best and it is great for getting out dirty spots from play. She goes to sleep when I use it. A comb for some tougher spots and then the rake for the undercoat. Her fav is the people brush, we use it almost every night before b...

Hello, I use a regular rake from PetSmart . It seems to work great for use and Shandi has lots of undercoat that I like to keep out. I just do her in about 3 inch sections. It also works great on the shepherd. Has a comfy green rubber covered handle.
