Re: I have a sad Chow boy :(

Honey doesn't even seem to notice when it's raining out.

It was drizzling here this morning, and I was thinking "man, she's gonna smell afterwards, and I just cleaned all her blankets". She charged right out and didn't even seem fazed by it. I think she's just obsessed with being outside.

Re: Virginia chow gatherings?

I think I returned your email you sent me, but not 100% if it went through. That wasn't us with the black chow. We're over in Ashburn Village, and Honey is a red girl. Are there any dog parks in the area that the dogs could meet up in some time? It could be fun for them, and it'd be nice to meet a f...

Re: My Chow Sounds like a Pig

Well, she seems to be settling in more and more. The extra panting is calming down, and now she just snorts if she gets excited or sees someone passing by she wants to meet (person or another animal outside). Once we get the house-training down, I think she'll be just perfect for us (my wife is a bi...

Re: Virginia chow gatherings?

We just bought a new chow that'd we'd love to let hang out with some other Chows. Honey is 4-1/2 and does well with people and other dogs; She's a retired breeding dog, so is used to having 5 other chows around the kennel- we think she misses them since she's the only dog now. What part of northern ...

Re: My Chow Sounds like a Pig

Ahh, I had a nice reply typed up and then accidentally closed my browser after looking at another tab, oops! We had her checked out at their local Vet the day before we bought her, and they gave her a great bill of health and made sure all her shots were up to date. Maybe we should still bring her i...

My Chow Sounds like a Pig

We just got our chow and she is 4 years old. She makes this snorting sound nonstop and she sneezes a lot, but she never barks. I'm not sure what to make of this, is she sick? Or is the snorting in replace of barking? Please let us know if your dog had done this before and if there's anything we can ...
