Kelly, Welcome to this site! I am sorry you are having the difficulties with the new chow, but as Jeff has indicated, it may take longer. You are certainly doing all the right things in researching websites, consulting a behaviorist, etc. My Kodi (chow/gsd mix; mostly chow), is a friendly girl, but ...

Update on Bear!

All, I have been corresponding abit with Nikki about Bear. Here's an update. I invited her to come to this board - she has lots of questions! I'm sure it'd be ok to use the email link in Jeff's post above to write to her, just mention you're on chowchow.org and it's about Bear. I have two pictures s...

Re: Ear Infections

Mr. Nahkohe had his ears flushed due to an ear infection. There was wax and other debris removed. I was told that it could be bacterial or allergies. He's on antibiotics and to be given a dose of ear ointment. The oinment treatment has been very tough as he typically runs away when he sees that I h...

Hi- Jeff, I didn't mean to 'hijack' your post, but I did write to Nikki and she replied. Turns out the hospital won't take money (checks especially), but she will. You can email her at the email address Jeff gave above and she'll provide her address, etc. The picture she sent of poor Bear at the she...

Hi again, I called the hospital, spoke with Lou, the clinic manager and he did not know about arrangements for donations for either the clinic or on behalf of Bear. I emailed Nikki at the address given in Jeff's post, so hopefully that will get straightened out soon. Just wanted you all to know. Ta...

Juniper and Sheena,
Welcome! Your story of the rescue and care of Sheena is so touching and inspirational! Thank you for the good you do! I firmly believe that pets (sometimes ultimately as in rescue) come to those who can do the best for them.
Dog Bless you :D - Purple Kisses!

Actually somewhere in the middle of no toes wet to shallow paddle for Kodi. She doesn't mind puddles or walking in rain at all (was a miserable walking winter for me...). Not sure how she'd do in shallow water (ie, up the legs) but I'd guess that'd be the most she'd like. Interesting! You'll get fun...

Standing Chows

Hi all, I have this picture I found of a Chow standing up (see link below). Kodi does this quite often, on our walks. There's an almost waist high hedge on a corner house that cats hide in. She knows it too, so she'll stand up just like this. Anyone else's chow do this? I suspect so... :wink: http:/...

One more thing you can add to the one and only world of Chows is, I'm not sure if this is true and I only have Pekoe to base it on but someone once told me Chows are the only breed then can move their ears independantly. they can move one ear one way and move the other ear in a different direction....

Jeff, I have read IL SB1790 as submitted by IL Sen. Martin Sandoval. The senator is using 10 breeds to determine what a "dangerous dog" is. The dogs listed are ...German Shepards.... Cindy (Kodi's Mom), did you ever hear back from the lady in Oregon who was asking for pictures of children...

Hi Lou, The only reason I'll do the yearly or scheduled (every 3 for rabies?) is because we do have Kodi at dog parks and have boarded her once, will again and it's a requirement of the boarding facility. As she ages, I will cut it back to bare minimum. There's SO much information on the web about t...

I promise not to play around after this, but I wanted to see if a Shutterfly picture would show here.
