You know what intrigued me with your case? The fact that the apartment manager wanted to see the dog. I could understand if they have requirements such as an I.D. number and a photo of the dog for the file, and even a weight limit for which the apt manager would require written documentation from a ...

Amen Bubba!! Bubba has covered much of what I would have told you already, so I'll just add my 2 cents. I'm with Bubba, sue the SOB's if they discriminate against you! You may be surprised to hear me say this, because I own investment properties including, apartment complexes. If one of my apartment...

Redangie24,

I know what you mean, feeling like you talk a lot.
As my posts get long, longer, I sometimes just stop writing, even tho I have lots more to say! LOL
Somebody just needs to tell me to shut up! LOL

I too contacted her, because I'm looking for a chow boy. I preferred a small puppy since I have two small dogs and a cat, but that's not etched in stone. As some of you know, my pregnant girl was killed by a car when a neighbor tired of the dogs barking in the back yard, during tornadic weather and ...

my 2 cents: I recommend being neutered and yes it does help to calm their efforts to "mark" their territory. It slows down the testosterone flow where they aren't as hyper-hormonal, if you know what I mean. As far as changing his personality, no it won't change that. If he is leary of stra...

I agree totally, Bama. I was once owned by a retired Arabian endurance racer. Shamar was definately a 900pound puppy dog, and would have happily been a lap-dog. He used to follow me around even without a lead rope, ate carrots from my mouth and passed judgement on the women I brought to meet him. (...

I would have to agree with Lulu...adopt the ten week old purebred who needs a home. What is it you are looking for in a dog? Why put a Chow thru the stress of shipping? And yes, many make the trip, but it is very hard on them. How do I know? Because, I am retired from a major airline and have witnes...

how cool is that?
My poor eyes had to enlarge it to see it.
Good job, thanks for sharing the photo!

Anyone with horses ever notice how much horses and dogs are alike? I've trained both on my ranch, and if horses could sit in your lap, some of them would!

welcome to this website. Congrats on your new chow baby! Kudos to you in your efforts to socialize early. The only thing I can suggest on what little information posted is to let Cinny wear the collar and lead at all times in the hotel room, (as long as you are close by so that the lead doesn't get ...

I am one who realizes that a Chow Chow is a dog, however I believe the term, "dog" is a positive term. Dogs have earned our respect for their ability to survive and be, "man's best friend". I think there is one point we can all agree on... If you want a dog to point out game, get...

While I don't believe that the dogs must walk behind... I do believe they must go at your pace whatever it is. In my 51 years of living on a ranch, I have experienced lots of different animals, both wild and domestic. In the last 11 years I have worked with canine rescue, as well as established seve...

When you said the bite didn't break thru the jeans, this tells me that your dog was only giving a warning. His action was not an attack. However, it also tells me that he thinks he is alpha dog. That's the worst part of this story. A chow who thinks he is alpha dog can be dangerous. To allow the cho...

I just want to say how sorry I am for you and your loss. It always weighs heavy on our hearts to lose a beloved friend. However, I hope it brings you comfort to know that he is in a special place of love, where no pain or worries are felt. I know he'll always be a fond memory. You are in my thoughts...

David, I believe the "dangerous dog" laws sweeping our nation is a knee-jerk reaction to an epidemic of in-home crystal meth labs. Many drug dealers have aggressive dogs to ward off being surprised by a police investigation and/or police raid. The problem with the laws is... they punish go...

very good advice here already, but here is my 2 cents: First of all I would attempt to resolve it with your neighbor. I would appologise and ask to settle this among "good neighbors". I would point out that you don't want things to be awkward between you both, since you are close neighbors...

I agree with everyone here... By whose standards is the dog thin? Parasites does cause a dog to be thin, but a trip to the vet can easily rule that in or out. So, I would suggest that you have your dog seen by a vet. An active dog will usually stay on the thin side. Dogs whose food is highly nutriti...

welcome to the site.
Your Lily is beautiful, she reminds me of my sweet Foxy, (God rest her sole).
Thanks for all the photos...they're great!

I'm so sorry to hear your furbaby died, so sad. I understand what you are going through, and you have a good attitude. You will learn from this and life goes on. You will always have your furbaby in your heart. I learned from my experience to allow the puppy to grow to at leat 7 months. After my Fox...

So here is the plan. I can't imagine locking Riley up in a crate while I'm at work so that's not going to work. Since its only mornings that he pees upstairs I'll block off the upstairs when we are busy in the morning so he can't sneak up there. During the day while I'm at work its not that big of ...

BAMA... That is an AWSOME story about Bandit pulling the girl out of a burning house. You should deffinatly send that story to Mandy for the book she is working on. Someone else is working on a book as well, but I can't remember who it is.. (sorry :-( ) Chris, that, "someone else" is me. ...

Proving the neighbor did it is another problem. He was seen at the backyard gate, but actually seen opening it. Minutes later the chows were loose. Hmmmm? Bandit is dearly loved and has slept with his daddy everynight of his 17 years, except for the night he was missing in the thunderstorm. More det...

I'm very sorry to hear what has happened. It could be an accident from harsh play, it could be a dominance issue. You don't know and can't afford to brush it off as an accident. Hopefully, that is all it was, but I kinda doubt it since blood was drawn. I think it may have been a strong warning. Just...

This Photo is of Mike, rejoicing in having his "little old man" back home. Bandit loves his daddy. Bandit is so very sweet and long lived, I had my hopes on having one of his offspring. But, it is very doubtful he has it in him. As most of you already know, his last hoorah at being a stud ...
