Here're a couple quick shots I just took. The owner said his daddy looks just like Ping. I'm guessing he's much bigger since this little guy is pretty solid.
Any more name suggestions?

He's a real sweetie. As soon as I can get him neutered and get his shots up to date, he'll be finding a new home. I don't have any experience with such a young puppy so I hope I don't screw anything up. Which brings up a question...will his speckled tongue turn all black or will it stay this way?

I wondered about the ears too. He may be a mix, but the owner said he's PB. He's got the exact same colorings as Ping, even the darker shade on his back. Ping's tongue is all one color (kinda purplish).
If Lou really wants him, we'll find a way. With the temps the way they are, I'm not sure about shipping. How did those little ones ship out of Lubbock recently?

When I got both Koda and Molly, neither of their tongues were completely purple... they were still speckled. The pigmintation finished turning as they both got older. When I got Koda, I had checked that on the web and the speckled tongue was not unusual in a young pup. So there is still a chance that his tongue will go ahead and finish turning.
What a little doll he is. All these chowlings... makes ya want to have more. Someone tell me to stop it!!!

I'm up for the 2AM feeding/potty break. Bear is not happy about this little guy being here. I'm assuming it's because he's male and likes to have my attention. He's nipped him a few times and keeps barking at him. Advice, please!!!

We made it through the night with only the 2AM and a 6AM potty break. He let me know he needed to go, luckliy I'm a light sleeper.
His owner emailed me this morning to ask about him. He also told me some personal information that makes it easier to understand why he needed to find a new home for this little guy. He wanted to issue a statement, but was afraid of saying the wrong thing and making everyone more upset with him. Needless to say, he's a good person that was doing the best he could at the time. The little guy won't be in a shelter and someone is going to get a sweet little Chowboy soon.
Now it's bathtime for him...wish me luck!

Dreamdancer flew on American Airlines as baggage. The thing is that the Airlines that transport pets won't do it if the temp at both ends of the flight is less than 20 degrees and more than 85 degrees. The reason Dreamdancer and Ginger shipped the same day is that there was a cold front in Dallas/Fort Worth and Lubbock that day, so it was less than 85 degrees.fillyok wrote:I wondered about the ears too.

To ship you'll need to have had him have his first set of puppy vacs, a vet statement that he is healthy and hasn't bit anyone recently, (this is even though he won't have a rabies vac yet)
He'll need a carrier that is big enough that you can put in a puppy pad and a water bucket. The shipping manifest will have both your, and whoever get's him, (I hope it Lou)'s address, phone number etc.

Thank you SweetPea!

My Cookie, who was registered chow, always had a speckled pink and black tongue. Never outgrew it.
Her ears flopped when she was young, (not quite like this little guys, though) but they eventually stood up. She was almost 6 or 7 months old before they both did.
But she was the runt, and her siblings ears were authentic stand up "chow ears" from the beginning. If I remember right from the group picture, more of those pups had ears like this guy.
But his ears don't mean he's any less of a wonderful little guy needing a good forever home.
