I just think you are so wonderful for wanting to rescuse this sweet girl. If she has a purple or partially purple tongue, then I would say she is at least part chow. But I think I did read somewhere (I think it was the AKC web site) that there are other breeds of dogs that can have purple or partial...

Koda's First Outing

Well today was the first time Koda got to go visiting with me since the kids brought him home to me as an early Christmas present 2 weeks ago tonight. We went to my daughter's who had Thanksgiving a week ago and then I opted not to take him then because there would be so many people there and I didn...

Blue chows are so pretty. When I first fell in love with the breed, I wanted a blue chow. My neighbor had a blue chow and he was gorgeous. But they are so hard to find. I loved my cinammon Sasha and I love Koda... whatever he is going to turn out to be. I'm thinking a light fawn.... but ya never kno...

Chows were real popular around here early to mid 90's. I can't remember the last time I saw one for quite awhile. It took the kids a long time to find Koda, and subsequently for the search for Koda, they found a breeder in Chicago who had 2 pups, and 2 of my other daughters drove 4 hours away(which ...

Koda is still small and isn't making too many of the normal "chow" piggy noises yet. I do remember Sasha making them tho when she was here with us. The first night Koda was here, he was asleep on my bedroom floor snoring. I thought.... man I had forgotten what it was like to have a snoring...

Even tho I can understand why Jeff said what he did and my heart agrees. I can and do feel that putting Mo-Mo to sleep would have to be an alternative, altho a definite LAST resort. Chows do need strong owners, and I'm learning that even more so with Koda than I did with my first chow, Sasha. Koda i...

I am so proud :)

Today the weather here is actually tolerable (low 50's) so I decided that Koda and I would go outside and work on a little bit of training. So with 2 teats in hand that I could break up into many treats, outside we headed. Today (and for the next few days) we worked on "Come Koda". It took...

I think Chows are one of the most beautiful dogs there are. Doesn't really matter what color. They are just so regal looking and full of confidence. They are the best!

That sounds like some kind of allergy to me. Be it food, grass, or something else. What does your vet say? I had a friend who had a chow who had a similar problem, and it ended up being grass allergies. The vet gave Cinnamon shots for it and it seemed to help quite a bit. Chows don't tolerate alot o...

I know I'd be pretty upset if another dog came after my Koda. Then they give CHOWS a bad reputation???? If people know their dog has a problem, then they need to keep him on a leash so as not to hurt another dog or a person. Chows have gotten a bad reputation through the years. Yes, they are quite d...

Well we are back. We decided to leave Koda at home with my 17 year old daughter's 4 month old mixed breed pup and now I'm glad we did. As bad as I hated leaving him, there were just way too many people at my other daughter's house and I really think Koda would have been too overwhelmed. I don't want...

Thank you for the warm welcome. Today is Koda's first outing since we are going to my daughter's for Thanksgiving and I am taking Koda with me. :D She knew I would just worry about him if I left him at home alone. I need to start getting him socialized since he is starting to get upset when I leave ...

I have had Koda for a week now... he was an early Christmas present from one of my daughters and her boyfriend. Koda is not my first chow. I had a female fawn colo...
