I had a awful time walking Princess. She pulled me so hard it'd take both hands with her, our walks had to be short because I'd get so sore. I dont mind my dogs walking in front of me, checking things our, but I couldnt have her walking like that. When I got Gracie, I wanted to be able to walk both ...

This is from this past summer. I dont have any of Gracie sleeping but this one she is so tired. She and my daughters Pug were sleeping (Gracie is still wet from sitting in the pool), she woke up as I was taking the picture.

Yesterday I posted that Gracie doesnt normally rough house, or play in the house. Wouldnt you know, after I posted it she came to me and barked. I thought she wanted to go outside. So we walked thru the house, I went to the back door, but she ran to the livingroom. I followed her in there and she fl...

Princess has always been bad about pulling. I had a tough time with her. I tried everything with her, even tried the choke collar but it scared me to use it so after 2 or 3 tries I gave that up. With her I've ended up with a front lead harness....not sure what it's called. Gracie wears a harness, sh...

This is Gracie, Princess and my daughter's pug Kokomo. Poor Kokomo looks likes he's getting the bad end but trust me, he's the toughie of the bunch.

As I write this, Princess and her pug friend are wrestling. Gracie struted in from outside, is now laying under the table by my feet. She will not act like they do inside. Princess and Kokomo are under this table trying hard to get Gracie to join in, she will not do it. She will however stand up, pu...

lol, that sounds like Gracie. I get a kick out of her. Right now my daughter is staying with us with her pug (only until the weekend). I let them out and Princess and Kokomo go running out the door as if in a race, into the yard....but taking her time, heading for the door wiggles Miss America. No r...

Josh, I'm so glad you joined. You are here with the right people for helping you along the way with your new friend. We brought home a stray cat with a hurt paw. This cat was terrifed of dogs, at the time we only had Princess who had never been around a cat but she thought it looked pretty fun. We u...

Actually I didnt get Gracie in IL. To start with I was going to go with a rescue Chow. But I was worried about taking on a fullgrown Chow with my sometimes hyper grandaughter. Decided to take the safe route and start with a puppy. Then I had a tough time finding a breeder here in this state. I know ...

Gracie is my first full blooded Chow. My husband had told me there is no other breed like that of a ChowChow. Princess has enough of the attitude that made me long for one. But my husband insisted I start reading up on the Chows, learn what I can then tell him if I still thought I wanted one. It was...

With Gracie it only took a week for her to accept Ashlyn, like I said, she adopted me right away. My husband tried for a couple of weeks, so did my kids. I had each one just sit down, offer her treats. She'd get so she'd go to them for treats and soon became friends with them. I also think with dogs...

Gracie is still skiddish. What she will do is bark at a new comer the first time, 2nd time she normally wont bark but she wants no part of them touching her until she's been around them a few times. What really helps her is Princess. Princess has never met a stranger yet. We joke that if anyone brok...

I have to tell you this story. I dont think I have ever been so proud of Gracie as I was when this happened. I have 2 grand-daughters, ages 2 and 9 months. Princess has grown up with my oldest grandaughter, but I got Gracie 2 1/2 months before the kids all moved to WI. I had thought Gracie would hav...

This may be silly but one thing I notice with mine are baths. My dogs hate bath time and will hide from me so I try to be sneaky. I dont say a word about the bath, just get things ready so once I get them in the bathroom I have everything there. Just as soon as I finish getting things ready and go g...

Thank you for the welcome. I noticed ngraham was from Stonington. You are around 30 miles away from me. I thought that was pretty neat. I am in the small town of Shelbyville. I'm not sure how far that is from Peoria, a couple of hours maybe a little longer.

I joined last summer but only posted once and I have no idea what my login was, so here I am again, ready to be a active member. I have a cinnamon ChowChow. Gracie is 10 months old. My pride and joy. I also have a black Chow/lab mix. Princess is 2 years old. I am looking forward to being a part of t...
