New member w/ 7 month old Chow

Post by lorielllouie »

Hello,
In June I purchased my first chow chow and since then he has been nothing but well mannered and socially active. His name is Teddy and he has mostly blonde fur. I take him to the local dog park about once a day for about an hour and a half, at first he was shy and always wanted to stay around me but now he gets along with every dog and tries to play with them and be their friend. My only concern is that Teddy never barks, instead he makes a muffled breathing sound and usually a howl follows after that. He has only done it twice and during those 2x it was because a person he has never met came into my house. (don't worry it was just my mom) I was wondering if that is normal?

- New Chow Mother,

Hello welcome to the board!

All I can say is nothing wrong about your dog, it takes time to hear his bark but I know one day you will hear his cute bark. Maybe if he sees a cat from the window then the barking progress will come out soon.

The howling is normal for a dog don't worry there's nothing wrong about it.
