Clipping nails.. sheesh, when I try... steel holds my hand with his mouth.. trys to take the clipper away, pulls.. jumps.. anything to not let me clip them.

OMG, beautiful they are. I wish them well. Hmmm, I can only think that with time, Bing will learn that everything is going to be ok and relax more. Im not so much up on the Bing story.. but was he with another dog previously that he did not get along with? Do we know? gosh I hope everything works out.

Hi there, this is Steel. Your mad.... ???? I'm mad.. guess what my mom did? She went to Iowa for a whole 24 + hours without me this weekend. She made me stay home with Dad. (He doesn't spoil me as much as she does) I wined and cried for her quite a bit while she was gone).... I had a plan that when ...

ditto for me. Your chows are beautiful. Steel lays like that 2 sometimes. More when he was very little.

BTW, Chi-Ching is the perfect candidate for the petco frisbee commercial.

LOL... I hear ya ChowLover... Steel likes to play with the frisbee too.

you know... I don't recall "whispering" to steel, but I talk to him all the time.. (I do have the gift of gab..LOL :wink: ) I tell him all the time I love him and he is a good boy and I miss him bla bla bla... I think... I will try whispering in his ear and see what happens... ngraham, it ...

Hey Daryl, My chowling Steel loves treats, which enabled me to train him easier and more quickly. I have trained the old way before with other dogs we have had, however it doesn't work with Steel. And actualy, I like this type of training better. Most of the time when I ask Steel to do a command I h...

I have heard the same thing about the undercoat/fur protecting the chows from the heat. I have never shaved any of my chows. They seem fine. Of course they really don't like being outside in the summer. As a matter of fact... they like to HOG the air vents in the floor when the air conditioning is o...

I think this is a great idea as well... very cool. I have some strange gohst stories if you are interested in them.

I would say most definatly. Every dog has his/her own personality just like people. Some are more affectionate than others. From your post here, I would assume your Homer is a "manly" dog if you will. His personality... maybe a "macho" dog? But is sweet and tender and shows it be...

I never noticed if Steel looked at me in the eyes or not. So, I checked it out. He looks at me in the eye when I call his name, or when he has a toy in his mouth, or when I have food in my hand. (the food in the hand he looks at me, then the food, then at me, then the food.. :roll: go figure) :lol:

when Steel was examined... Vet said everything was great, his posture, frame, hips.. bla bla bla... But we never discussed his eyes.. he looked at them, but never "talked" about them. He has an appointment coming up.. and this time Im going to ask. I thought maybe it was just a puppy thing...

hmm actualy I think it is just the way he was sitting in the car. And Im refering to the HIS left eye.. not the left side of the picture. I guess I will have to try and find a different picture...

(the eye under the UP standing ear.. not the floppy one..

No, I don't think its that. His eyes look normal in that aspect... I more or less think he might have a wondering eye. sometimes when he looks at you... its like he isnt. but Im not sure if he has a wondering eye, or if his eye is just off a bit, or even his face??? (I know that sounds wierd, but I ...

well.... I feel he has turned darker... but I will get some new pics of him and post.

You guys are making me cry. :cry: Our 3 chows have been "pets" but, very much a member of the family. First we had Grizz, she was about to be put on the step of a pet store with her siblings so we took her. She was awsome, VERY protective, but a beautiful black chow and very loving towards...

http://www.chowchow.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1383&highlight= The above is the link to where I posed a picture of Steel when he was little. He is now 8 months old. Notice how his eye looks kinda funny in the picture...??? It is still like that... the vet hasn't said anything about it. his left e...

I never, (unless they were filthy as stated above) given mine a bath untill they were about 6 months of age. Then they go to the groomer for a bath 2 times a year as well. (but.. I hate clipping the nails.. so they go 1 time a month to the groomer just for that... lol.. call me chicken but Im not go...

opps, kinda big but that is Steel when he was a wee baby. I have to get some new ones.


BTW, Thanks for the link to the instruction page.

WOW, look what I started... this is a great thread. I love all the information and opinions. So basicaly, from reading the responses. Its all in the line they come from. And, I would guess that Steel is more like the traditional or rather origional chow. :D Im just facinated I guess by the breed as ...

LOL, my first chow "Grizz" would do that. We thought she thought she was a cat too. She would sleep on the back of the sofa, or wait for us to come home there. It was the funniest thing to see the first time she did it. :lol: and so far all of my chows like to "try" to sit on my ...

I know this is somewhat of an old post, but I must say your pictures are amazing. Steel loves to play with the frizbee and he is the first dog I have ever had to bring back the "ball" to me. I didnt even have to teach him that, he just does it. And... he does catch the ball in the air. Whi...

Choosing a color should be your decision. 2 of mine have been black, and my new one is "blue", (however I think he is black) anyway I chose them because of looks and personality, personality winning over everything else. I just ended up with all black ones.

anyone up for Steel's baby pic?


hmmmmm.. how do I get it in here...
