Chow at the basset bash

We have basset fest here in the city of Woodinville near us around Fools Day. It is allways fun to see how humans try to make basset to do a trick. Bassets are very stubborn even more then chows. Today we took Mishka to have his fun too. He was petted and praised a lot which he loves. He also smelle...

I brush Mishka's teeth almost every day. I just say "Mishka it's time to brush teeth" and he comes himself to the bathroom. I think he likes the toothpaste. The only thing, he was used that his mouth opened by somebody, because of conformation classes. To get him in this stage took alot of...

In my not very educated opinion, (I’m definitely not a specialist) “good breeders” with the best intentions created a lot of harm to the chow chow breed. Trying to exaggerate some features and many of them make modern chow so beautiful decreased genetic pools and created breed unfortunately prone to...

I tend to agree with kiwani. Our eye specialist also told that it is better to do surgery, when face is full grown just to know correct amount to cut. It looks like colonel is going now through the stage of growing again, not his bones but his muscles tone will change after he gets correct nutrition...

Hi, this is Mishka And here are my tail and butt. For nice people I like to wag my tail. This weekend at the Seattle show some of them were amazed the chow can be so friendly to strangers. But if you are nice and speak polite with my humans why not make a new friend? http://i152.photobucket.com/albu...

Glad that he is OK. I kept checking the forum many times to hear how he is doing. His story is so touching. I think you are right, specialist is more important than speed in his case. Ointment should keep him fine before surgery. With our Mishka, when he was a puppy, we were afraid that he would dev...

We had snow couple of times this winter. It's always disaster for driving, but Mishka loves snow. Anyway we can go up to mountains, which is less then one hour drive. A added more pictures in a snow. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s173/IgorZverev/100_5511.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...

That's an interesting question about russian language, Auddymay. I usually explain to my friend although russian as many other languages has gender, it is possible to tell the gender by ending. Sigh, there are a lot of exception, specially . Misha, Mishka traditionally are both male familiar forms o...

Sorry I did not tell at first Mishka is a boy. He does have something girlish in his look and not very big 50lb, so many are mistaken.
At the same time he always behaves like very proud boy with a tendency to be alpha as not with people, people he just look like loves all, but with other dogs.

Let me introduce myself and thank you all of you.

I’ve actually browsed this forum for some time and found a lot of very useful information here, that helped us with our 2 years old chow Mishka. I’ve never posted before mainly because is always busy, but also we have nothing to advice. Mishka is not only our first chow, but our first dog ever. I wa...
