I'm out for Euk until I retire since that's our busy season and no vacation can be used. It's nice out these days in Minnesota so we were able to be out last weekend.

Yes, the import rules have changed but it's still possible for the average person to import a puppy after 8 weeks and before 4 months. You just need to get approval from the CDC and get a confinement agreement. We would of gotten him earlier if we knew but he still arrived 3 weeks before the 4 month...

Great news on Toby, but you know me and I already saw he got Best Of Winners for 3 points. I was wondering if the shows might of been cancelled or people didn't show up because of the storm. Glad neither happened and it shouldn't be long now before he's finished. Good luck tomorrow with Toby and the...

Thanks Rory's Dad, such kind words. We are in no hurry to finish him but can hardly wait to start. We are planning to go to a show next month so Brutus can start to earn his GCH title. Spartacus won't be entered because he will be too young but can work on being socialized. Hopefully the weather wil...

Thanks Cindy, we are enjoying him and all his energy.

Just got him last weekend, 38lbs at 3 1/2 months. Had to puppy proof our house during potty training but things are going well. He is growing on Brutus each day.

It make art work out of your pictures. Just make sure you have duplicate photo because once to use it there's no way of getting it back. Works great with chows of course. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk232/ottertailguy/E7A38715-D0D5-4F0B-99BC-5A449624DAA1_zpsk0c4sw8q.jpg http://i281.photobucke...

The expressions on their faces are priceless. Merry Christmas and hope to see you at a show next year.

I think you should know Chance better than anyone. So I don't think that will happen again. We were at a show last weekend and saw people only had their show leads on at ring side just before they went in. Other than that they had a sturdy collar/leash on. My point is show leads aren't meant for any...

What you're going thru is normal for anyone looking for a chow puppy, especially if they are looking for a certain type. The first chow we got was from a local pet store in 1992. The second chow we drove 5 hrs to get and Brutus our current chow came on a plane. Part of the reason I showed Brutus was...

Adding a chow puppy these day is not an easy decision. My suggestion is to take your time and wait for the right one. Where do you live and how far will you drive or are you willing to pay about $350 for shipping. I have no idea about the two breeders you ask about other than they always have puppie...

The hardest part is finding the right breeder with the right type of chow you're looking for that is breeding. But on chowclub.org and most web pages their phone number are listed so you could call them. I can help you if you like since I've met a lot of them and may be able to point you in the righ...

First I'm sorry for your loss, We loss our boxer a month ago and it's hard. I know it helps if you think about getting another but take your time. It a combination of many reasons they are that way. The breeders that are devoted to improving chows with each breeding don't need a lot of advertising. ...

You still seem to have trouble walking and controlling Walter. It's not as uncommon as you think. Brutus never had much of an issue with pulling but our 2 previous did. When I took them to training class the instructor suggested a pinch collar. I believe that is what you need because if he pulls, it...

Saw this and thought it was interesting. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm proud to say our CH Brutus is from the Charmar Kennel and the name is carried on by 2 woman. Shelly started working with Marjorie I think about 40 years ago. The other woman Jill lives in another town close by and are best friends. They still breed and sell pups that have great temperament for b...

The hardest part had to be finding out and admitting what happened. I've made my share of mistakes in life and wonder how I did them but you can't dwell on them. Concentrate on all the things you have done well with Chance and I bet in the future it will make you stronger. I also think you should fi...

Our first chow Bailey had Pemphigus and was confirmed by a biopsy. She was about 3 at the time and after we found the right dose she lived a pretty normal life. Surprising she lived past 13 but gained weight so I had to watch how much I fed her. The key is finding the least amount of prednisone to k...

I second what Rory's Dad said.... first half of the walk let him have fun and allow him to run around as much as he likes. Than the second half make him heel or walk beside you. This works best if your walk is to a point and then turn around to come home. Then when you get back home let him run arou...

Congrats on finishing Chance. Love the picture with the flag as the back ground. It's really no surprise you earned his CH because you did everything right, starting with where you got Chance. But it still is a great accomplishment and you should be proud. I don't know if Rory's dad and I helped you...

Thanks, hope to see you at a show in the future.

I say get a new girlfriend and then everyone will be happy. Or you could block the door for awhile so he can't leave.

Nice to see the photos, everyone looks great. As much as I'm enjoying a normal summer, I do miss going to shows. How is the handling going? I truly enjoyed it, especially after everything else prior to the going into the ring. My only suggestion is to relax and stand in front of your chows as much a...
