Thought I would put together a list of Holly and Maxs' intriguing animals - BIRDS (Drive them potty) - Hate Magpies! Cats - dont mind their sister Fliss but any others :evil: Horses - really should try and play with them Sheep - why do they all group together and stare at us?? Cows - they have bigge...

I took my 2 to Wales last year, they both love the water and swimming. As I dont let them off the lead too much (use an extender) they just were runnning in and out of the water - brilliant! Max however found a far more lazy way, Once in the water, when he had finished he turned his head, clamped hi...

Ha! My chimney has been removed as well! Must be the missing link....

Would like to add - when I have visitors, if my 2 DON'T get to meet people then theres trouble!!! Holly likes it but Max LOVES it. They go nuts, Max just goes mad and then he runs and gets his big hide chew and does his toss and bodyslam thing to show off. For me it comes down to nature/nurture, and...

I've always noticed it but never really noticed it (know what I mean?). Everynow and then Max belches, now Ive never heard a dog do it before but the ginger fool actually runs around a bit and then runs to me and burps! Now this isn't accidental he actually cranks his head towards me and belches! Ho...

Ever seen Falling Down? Michael Douglas basically going medi-evil. Well me and the better half are currently doing a major overhaul of the house (walls down, steel work in, new floor etc etc). Anyway because of this the 'kids' aren't allowed anywhere but the utility and we can't sit with them. Max w...

Wow your Chows play! Max does a bit, he's more of a 'normal' dog! Holly is Type A Chow and won't lower herself, unless of course it ends in complete destruction. I used to buy her these ducks, about a foot long and they made a big squeek. First one lasted her months, then one day I came hom and she ...

I would agree Max is probably on the big size. Unfortunately he won't stop! I don't feed him anything other than kibble, on the odd occassion he gets some cooked meat stirred in. Plus he had been neutered at 6 months but he keeps going! But I assure you he isnt fat or too bulky, its just that he is ...

Unfortunately I have been away for a couple of weeks (skiing in Bulgaria). I have just returned to find all hell has broken loose because of a misinformed youngster. Get a grip people. Give the lad a hand if he needs it, or alternatively don't reply. Take a leaf out of the chows book (after all they...

Hi, not sure (so please correct me) but I think he has some way to go yet. Max has just turned 14 months old and weighs in something along 38kg (84lbs). Holly though weighs 24kg (53lbs) which fits with bitches generally being smaller. However she is, and will always be, the boss (of course its only ...

Judy, you've got me going now!! I mentioned the other week about my neighbours complaining about my noisy animals (apparantly keeping them up at 2 in the afternoon!!! Lasy gits) Well, I'm feeling like Michael Douglas in the film 'Falling Down' at the minute. I caught the said neighbours little b****...

To try and teach Max some 'good' habits, I sometimes take him walking with my dads Alsatian (as she listens to whats is asked!). Now obviously shepherds are energetic and run and run and run....which makes it hard for my big lad to play as Heidi runs at him and then runs off with a bit of fur in her...

A little story for you all from over the Xmas period. To set the scene, Holly is very lazy through the night and when I get up I normally have to vault her in the hallway. Anyway, this one night (by the way this was during a recent -5 DegC cold snap) Holly started barking, but not a 'security' bark,...

Hi quick one. Firstly happy new year to all. My chows have a weird habit with chews and I have never seen another dog do this. Holly used to do it but not just gets down to eating them but Max..well I'll explain. If I give him a chew, he trots into the lounge, chew in mouth big smile, and flips it u...

Hi I have 2 Chows, one of which is definately A Chow in everyway. Holly is a funny one. Heres a list of her traits: ignorant. fussy. pain on the leash. Definate pain off the leash (we call her black beauty cos she just sods off). Regal. Very Intelligent. I could go into it but I suppose the one word...

I have the opposite problem. I built Holly a HUGE kennel about 18 months ago which she never used. Wouldnt go in, preferred to sit out side, get filthy and wet and then make me bath her (which wasnt and still isnt fun). We then got Max. Now Holly wont go out in the rain, I have to carry her out of t...

Both Max and Holly get extremely rough, I end up having to lie on Holly and try and wrestle Max away from her. Heres the usual way it starts: Both get a chew. Max drops his and nabs Hollys and lies on both. Holly barks at Max. Max makes a weird non-stop yodelling sound. Holly sort of jumps and spins...

Cats and chows what a mix. We have had our Cat for 3 years, first chow Holly 1 3/4 and Max (big boy) 1 year. Fliss the cat was a stray and as such has 'her space' but will join us in bed ervynow and then for a cuddle. Holly used to run around after her but has calmed down no. Max though, FLiss hits ...

First of all, I feel really sorry for your situation. Nobody on here would like to be in your position. I disagree with Jeff though. ANY dangerous animal, and I think that if the dog is biting on numerous occassions can be considered dangerous, should be considered for euthanisation. Jeff I feel tha...

About time I introduced the rest of my pack! Holly made it on here earlier (black girl chow) Here is my girl Alison with our other family member Max 'Big Bear'. This was when we finally caught him. He is sulking today cos I caught him ripping one of my coats up. He said he was inspecting the lining ...

Here is a picture of Holly, first time I have posted a pic so hope turn out okay!! If it does I will post one of max later

I am from the UK where the poor dog was banned years ago. Most were destroyed some were kept, but ubder special provisions and not allowed to breed. Some are still found and destroyed. But with regards to your current plight... it is disgusting. The US and Uk have just spent billions of dollars putt...

hs anybody got anyexperience with Chows pulling carts? I have been looking into it. I figured that seeing as my Chows wont stop pulling (often in oposite direction), I might try and channel their efforts and save my arms!

They are crackers. Max has a thief thing going on at the minute, where anything is game. They also appear to have very strong pulling instincts, Holly listens on about the 10th time you tell her to heel, but soon forgets and goes again. I was accidently lulled into feeling that Holly was good enough...

This is my first thread so here goes. I have a pure jet black girl called Holly (18months) and a pure red male Max (7months although he is the bigger one now). Holly is ignorant, rude, disrespectful but we love her. Max wishe she could be with you all the time, and lets us know at 2 hourly intervals...
