I've been on that site before.
I HATE that guy. You can't treat a Chow that way. :(

I even sent him a email, but he had a very childish answer tho.

This article is disturbing. This guy is a breeder? His methods will only perpetuate the myth that chows are vicious and unsociable. I would advise everyone to steer clear of Leerburg Kennels in Wisconsin.
My chow was sociable, the obedience instructors wanted him to go into obedience competitions. I let my chow mingle with guests at my house. I let people touch him and let him greet new dogs in an off leash dog park. The author of this article is, in my opinion, ignorant.

..as the saying goes, there are no bad dogs, only bad trainers and owners.
It's up to the owner to take responsibility on training and socializing
any dog.

Sounds like he is trying to make a buck trading on people's fears.

Dont worry. This guy is making money off of making people worry! That is his goal. I think what he is doing is causing aggression, then he can sell more. He's a nut. Dont listen to his bull.

This guy's training and testimonials are crap. He is a 'you-know-what' that trades on fear, ignorance, and stupidity. I think this site has been up a while, so someone is buying this crap. :( :(

I had read this before too... the guy is a jerk. If chows act that way around him, I can't imagine why.... NOT!!!!! Look at his attutde about the breed. I'd act that way around him too... and I am not a chow, just owned by one. :)

WOW, that guy is hardcore! He trains dogs like they should be in Hitler's army. I guess his mommy and daddy didn't give him enough attention when he was young. :lol:

I've seen this guy before. As a chow and rottie owner I find him completely offensive. I would never treat my dogs that way.
