Re: Heavenly chows breeder?

I agree with all the above...save a life, adopt a homeless chow. Petfinder has many purebreds but you will have to do some searching and check out 'chows in need' on facebook. There are puppies to seniors needing homes. And if you dont mind waiting you can put in an application with Chow Chow of Cen...

Re: New here

Welcome, from what I can see I would agree with Cocoa about Samson. But you might want to use an online editor or picture painter to reduce the size of the pic so that we can see all of him.

Re: Bringing in a new puppy

I would also recommend a female. We had a 12 year old intact male (for similar reasons) when we brought Belle home to keep him company. At first he ran from her but she just kept following him around. Pretty soon they were inseperable. I agree with Saraloo, get a young female from a rescue that is g...

Re: Zahra

You might also ask your vet to accept donations and include his information for people to pay the vet directly (something I noticed on facebook). I guess there are people out there that have been scammed by others using the guise of a sick pet. I believe you are just trying to help your baby and wil...

Re: Getting 2 chow-chow puppies

Bloat is the 2nd most common killer next to cancer. In basic terms the stomache flips then the gasses build up. The stomach will expand or bloat to 2+ times larger than normal and because of the flip soon starts to die and causes other organs to die. If you do not catch it quickly there is no chance...

Re: Rio mad at me

I guess I have always been lucky... all mine have been slow eaters. I have one of those gravity feeders that let them feed as often as they like and they tend to nibble throughout the day.

Re: Do Furr-alarms have snooze buttons?

My alarm depends on what time I go to bed since I always let them go out before bedtime. Usually its around 6am. But there is no snooze alarm with Chums around. He will jump up beside the bed and whap you with that huge paw. Sometimes I try to roll to the middle of the bed & ignore him...bad dec...

Re: She's staying

I gave him to my mom to make sure I could keep an eye on him then brought him back home when he was unhappy there. Dont worry, as she grows and her personal...

Re: Our Skye passed away

I am so sorry you lost your baby...but your angel will live forever in your heart & memory.

I am not sure where you are located but have you given thought to adopting a rescue? There is less chance of those type of diseases in a pup 6 months old or older.

Re: So how did you know you wanted a Chow?

Re: So how did you know you wanted a Chow?

I had no idea chow chows existed & back then there was no Internet so no researching either. I wanted a miniature poodle but my husband had no plans for a fru-fru dog. His brother-in-laws family had chows and convinced him that chows were big guard dog types. So my husband brought one home one d...
