Re: East Coast Chowfest 2008 Photo Gallery

Here's a video clip of the Chow hiking trio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmqhfI8YZPo No lie, while Mari was watching the video, I honestly thought Special was Nova for the first few seconds :shock: . Nova has her tail up and she was surrounded by people (Paz+Gordo's mom, Special's mom+dad). Kuma ...

Re: Nova's progress (very shy chow)!!!

Thanks everybody for the support. We just got inside a few mins ago after playing with Kuma and Nova in the yard. Unfortunately, it didn't occur to us to get them on video until they were already worn out. But all is not lost, I still caught a small clip. You can see that Nova's tail didn't drop at ...

Oh, ok. no prob. I still think it would be a good idea though. That way anyone can make their own (and others) avatars and save him the trouble. :D

Re: Lots of doggy questions

I can't comment on Koko because Nova has yet to go into her first heat. As for the bite inhibition, here's a really good thread in the Training Forum:

Lots of great advice there.

Congrats on the chowbaby!!! :mrgreen:

Re: Special chowchow place at home...

Should I be worried that she has no real place especially reserved for her? I bet Coco is like Jade and Nanook........the entire place is theirs and we should feel lucky they let us stay inside. Jade is 10 and Nanook is 6; neither has ever had a crate.( Nook did for the first 3wks just so he didn't...

Re: Special chowchow place at home...

Oh, def. don't worry about it. It seems that to her, the whole house is her special place. :mrgreen: We tried crate training Kuma and though it worked for the house-training, the crate itself never stuck. He prefers the cool tiled floor, though lately he's been on the bed more often (he waits for mo...

Re: Hello, Im a new member. Question?

Congrats on the puppy! Since you just got him this weekend, I say give him time to warm up to his new home. Both Kuma and Nova did the same when we brought them home. Try giving him the dry food in your hand. Also, do you know how the breeder prepared his meals? Perhaps softening it up with some wat...

Re: Saturday, April 19th: EAST COAST CHOWFEST 2008

Hey Janet,

I lived in NYC (manhattan) pretty much my whole life. Been here in Philly for the last 4, but we always go up to NY to visit my family. Next time we go up, I'll let you know so we can have a mini Chow Fest. At CF, we had 9 chows, so it'd be half of that between our 4 :mrgreen:

User-submitted Avatars upload

Having managed a couple of forums in the past myself, I'm pretty sure there's an option to enable users to upload their own avatars. Of course, they can be limited by both file size and dimension. This would help out a lot because it would cut down on the admin having to check the avatar submission ...

Re: Bear update !

Glad to read that he's getting better. \:D/ . Seems like the drops is decreasing the amount of stuff in his ear, so I wouldn't worry about it too much since it's doing its job. Hope you guys can attend the next Chow Fest :mrgreen:

Nova's progress (very shy chow)!!!

Nova is our shy 9m old black female chow and when I say shy, I mean SHYYYYYYY. :shifty: How shy? Well, here's a list: 1) Won't step out into our own yard if someone is outside, regardless of whether it's in our yard or a neighbor's. 2) Pulls fearfully on walks if anyone is close by. 3) If she's not ...

That's great for Special. Sounds like he let off a lot of doggy stress at the Chowfest, kinda like when us grownups go on vacation and break away from daily routines. So refreshing. :mrgreen: He might've also gotten a lil' jealous when he saw you petting all those other Chows, but instead of showing...

Special D, Nova and Kuma walking their parents through the trails Kuma is the red one, Nova and Special are the blacks, but Nova's leash is red.
