WOW!!! Joe, Marti, Leo and Max say GOOD JOB!!! Double purple kisses, four hands and eight paws are clapping for your hard work!!!

Now who couldn't love a chow-face?!?!!? So squishy and sweet!

Awww Bear ... you toy hog!!!

Glad they let you know ... woulda been a bit freakish to see you foaming at the mouth ...

Touch him EVERYWHERE! Between toes, behind ears, under tail, comb buttocks, etc. Get him used to your touch as much as possible. Use treats to build trust. And, just like 612 said, take him EVERYWHERE. If you know people who are friendly and not automatically afraid of dogs, especially chows, those ...

Oh Gene! How nerve racking for you! I can't imagine. I am glad that the boys work it out each time and they mostly play-fight (we call it "chomping") right now. Leo is the vocal one, however and will bare teeth when he doesn't like what Max is doing. [Max was sitting in his spot beneath my...

Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle ... oh how my eyes sparkle when I see you. Soooo adorable! She's a real stunner. I can feel your excitement!! Congratulations.

NOT LAME AT ALL!!! I certainly know the anxious anticipation you're feeling. We went through this with our breeder (who disappointed us for a year! by changing the "list" rules). Then, another breeder nearby gave us a call and ended our despair ... but brought eight weeks of EAGER anticipa...

I love that JasonandNat! I find the character of the chow chow so fascinating. Every single one of them unique but you're quite right ... it all works out!

Great words from both Victory and RD. I'll only add that I do this with both Dogs and Cars (as we walk in a small town setting and usually down the middle of the street). When coming upon a "new" thing (i.e., kids, people, dogs, or cars) I pull the boys to the side of the road, have them s...

Oh, poor, poor Ty! You can come up here and jump around in our snow any ol' time!! The boys would love it!!!

Oh Becky, Becky, Becky ... let me relate to you more about the bond of two chows. We have two brothers from the same litter, now about 15 months old. They are BOTH my cuddle bugs, but only to the extent that they allow. Now, here's the interesting part. Leo has chosen Joe (my husband) and Max has ch...

This video really helped me when I was deciding what to feed the boys. Great education if you're not familiar with ingredients.

Greetings ... something new happened tonight which I just have to relate. So, many of you might know that we just went through a very bad snow storm and are still feeling the affects (heavy wind and blowing snow). This has caused an interruption in our routine so the boys didn't get a walk today, bu...

First ... BEAR IS GORGEOUS!!! I love that peek-a-boo shot!!! Second ... consistency!! Our boys are 15 months old now and it still amazes me when they obey a command but I shouldn't be because I try very hard to be consistent with them (which is a struggle at times because my husband doesn't walk/tra...

Sparkle is GORGEOUS!!! Ohhhh .... I'm so excited for you!!! I know you're eagerly anticipating the pick up date. Hope her arrival goes smoothly and please be sure to let us know how it goes.

Domiss ... I replied to your separate post.

Victory ... I just LOVE the perspective you put on this. I can TOTALLY see this behavior in Leo to Max. Leo is our High-Strung boy and the first to bark at the local stray cat or a leaf blowing by. Max is happy to sit with me until Leo barks in a certain way, and then he'll go check it out. Our boys...

Please, please, please don't take him away from his siblings until AT LEAST 8 weeks, longer if possible. I hope the breeder will work with you on this. While I cannot answer the questions about the state of your little ones health without the benefit of Mom to feed and give nutrients, I CAN attest t...

Pam ... what's amazing is YOUR transformation. Joe commented on mine just a couple days ago. When we lost Kimba I was devastated and sadly depressed. The boys have brought so much joy that Joe says I'm a different person. His eyes light up when he watches me with the boys and I can't get enough of h...

Welcome Andria!!! Eddie is a gorgeous pup! (I can infer this because I have a blue chow that is hard to photograph, too! His eyes are so lively in that picture!) When we first got our boys at nine weeks Taste of the Wild (TOTW) High Prairie DID NOT come in a puppy formula and at about 12 weeks it ha...

Awwwwww!!!

DO NOT USE THINGS LIKE "BITTER YUCK" or other sprays to discourage not chewing!! The reasons I offer this advice is from experience. I did A LOT of research on this before selecting a product and used it everywhere our boys wanted to chew. The problem? THEY LOVED IT!!! THEY LICKED IT OFF E...

I agree with ALL the above comments. Having been "accepted" by an adult chow and having been blessed with two chow-brothers at nine weeks old ... BOTH experiences have been pleasant and precious ones. The only thing I will add to what Michael said is this ... sitting among a bunch of puppi...

Oh dear, dear Jess!! Well, you've come to the right place for love an acceptance. We've all been through it! (I was disowned and yelled at when Kimba peed on my sisters carpet ... long story but there are still bitter feelings there.) I love what Judy and Victory said ... go to your happy place and ...

Oh Jess ... what a hoot!! Our boys do the same thing ... AND with Horses. They've gotten past their "scared little boy" phase and now want to meet and greet everything! Leo squeals with glee and Max will chime in from time to time. Their little butts wiggling out of control. Of course, the...
