CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS BULL PUCKY?
I was cruzing around petfinder and found this...
chow chow mix
Notes: Born: June 2001. I would refer to the blonde fella as being med. + in size--not actually large. He was adopted from us as a pup and returned in Oct. The family gave us this info on him: He is good with children and does fine with other dogs. He hasn't been around any cats yet-so we are not sure how he would do in that situation. He is both housebroke and crate trained. Great with adults--though can be a bit shy when he first meets someone. The reason he was returned--his deep voice. Seems when other children would come over to play his bark would scare them and they couldn't come over anymore. So he is looking for his 2nd chance at the "good life". He doesn't seem to be much of a barker--was quiet when he was crated in the foyer of the shelter. If you think he might be the one for your home--please call first and we will be sure he is available (2 min. away). We are sure he will not disappoint!
This makes me sososososo mad !!!!!

I wonder if any studies have been done re dog's barking. Two years ago, the neighbours acquired a mixed breed pup, Tess. As Tess got older her bark sounded more and more like Luna's. Many times I wasn't able to tell the difference which of the two would be barking at squirrels, cats, strangers walking by the fence. Confusing, most times it was the owner's dog. Luna died and it bothered me to hear Tess bark, sounding like Luna's. 6 months have passed since Luna died. Over the winter I noticed Tess' voice has changed. She no longer barks like Luna. Is it possible that Tess as a puppy was imitating Luna's bark? Now that Luna is no longer with us, Tess discovered her own bark. Silly, I know, just wondering,

Well at least it's better than "he/she doesn't match the new furniture." but not by much. And since when do people allow other people's kids to dictate what goes on in their house?
All my chows have had deep barks, Darkwind's was the deepest and least heard. Firesong's is pretty deep, folks think she's a boy and a lot bigger than she is... Dreamdancer is getting there, but right now he still sounds a bit high, like a puppy.

Sounds like my neighbour's. Oh I didn't know Tess would get soo big, right, at 8 weeks her paws were almost as big as the palm of my hands. Oh, I wanted Tess to be like the dog I had as a child. The kids won't do their share picking up the poop in the yard, (kies, 7 & 10). The dog sees it's pack in the house eating dinner, doing family things. It barks constantly when outside in the yard. I don't call animal control because I know if I do, the dog will go to a shelter. No one would want this mutt. She is not spayed, no shots, no dog license, all law in Canada.

Boogie has a really deep loud woof. He always barks at people that come to the door and it usually scares away the solicitors. I like his deep bark and he usually only lets out a few loud "WOOFS!" and he is done. When he was a chowling he couldn't bark. He would just blow air. When the other dogs in the neighborhood were making a racket he would be standing there blowing a really faint woof sound.
Teddie on the other hand, I swear he is part little yappy dog. He makes a high pitched "ARF!" and just keeps repeating it over and over at the same tempo. "ARF!...ARF!...ARF!...ARF!" I am sure you get the idea. About once a week he will spend the whole entire night doing that. He irritates the heck out Boogie too when he does this. Boogie can open his mouth wider than Teddie so Boogie will literally go over and shut Teddie's mouth for him by biting down on it.

I like your description of the "ARF!...ARF!...ARF!...ARF!" type of bark. That's my Mikki. After the "Arf", she switches to a howl like a hound. This is totally foreign to me for a chow to bark like that.
For voice lessons, I play Youtube to my chow, hoping she'll change the pitch of her bark,

I got my JR from the pound when he was 7 months....supposedly he was dumped there because he barked too much and too loud...sure a 7 month old pup did that.
Anyhow he has the deepest, loudest bark and we just love that sound...yes he sounds like a Chow...maybe because he is one.
Cheyenne is a barker also but her pitch is a couple of octaves higher and she whines on top of it all.
One thing for sure...I feel so safe and snug with my "woofers"...so what if people cross the street when they see us all coming down...too bad they don't know what they are missing....the best of the best...2 wonderful Chows!
