Hi David... I am sorry you are having such a tough time finding a pup. As far as socializing the pup goes, the breeder was half right. It is the owners responsibility to socialize the puppy. But up until the time the owner takes over possession, it is the breeders responsibility to socialize the pup...

Great picture Sharon. Koda and Molly do the same thing.... they also eat together. Food aggression at my house? Nope. :)

Thanks Sharon. It sure didn't take Molly long to grow up. Sometimes I look at her and wonder where my puppy went to. :( Koda is still accumulating muscle mass. I was watching him walk around today and he just amazes me the way he has changed and grown since I got him also. The 17th of this month, th...

Molly is fine with my grandson. Molly generally is not as trusting with humans as my other chows were/are... but again I attribute that to her breeding and not her color. I talked to her breeder about that and he says her papa is the same way. She loves her people.... including baby Ryan and thats i...

Becky... I "think" it's where the old car wash used to be somewhere by the Round Table, but I will find out for sure. Amber's boyfriend told me about it initially and has been to look at it and says it is nice. I think he said it started out at 5.00, but don't quote me on that. I have to b...

Hi Julie... I find my cream chow Molly who is 8 months old just as sweet as I did my cinnamon chow Sasha who crossed the bridge 6 and a half years ago and my cinammon chow Koda who just turned a year old. As far as I can tell, color has no bearing on temprement. It's all in the breeding and how they...

Thanks Melanie... I had no idea what a dremel was... now I know. I wonder how Koda would react to that as opposed to the dog toenail clippers I use. He just does not like his feet messed with at all. I should have gotten his nails a little shorter than I did, but he was not happy to begin with so I ...

Lily is going to the groomer's for her bath. I was going to give her one earlier this year, and then she started to blow fur. I'm convinced that the only reason to give her a bath is for my own sensory pleasure. They don't probably need one since they replace the undercoat so often (in relationship...

I use Frontline Plus for my furkids. I have never noticed them acting sedated after applying it. I use flea shampoo to bath Koda and Molly in. I don't remember ever seeing a thread discussing what everyone uses for dog shampoo. When I bathed mine today I used a vinegar rinse. There was an older thre...

Koda and Molly Fall Pictures 1

I was outside with the furkids (I am kissing some serious chow butt to get them over being mad at me for bathing them and trimming their nails today)and got a few pitures of them. They are still drying and need to be brushed out. But at least they aren't pouting. :) As you can see, the fur on Koda's...

Thanks Jerry. I am not saying bath time is fun... far from it. But I am lucky, at least it is halfway tolerable.

I am trying to catch up on posts that I have missed and loved this one.

Bad Chow Mommy :)

I decided to get energetic and give King Koda and Princess Molly baths, trim their nails, and clean their ears today. <sigh> Needless to say, I have 2 furkids furious with me right now. Usually I take Kodie into Doc and have him trim Koda's nails... Koda will let Doc do it without a battle. But I ju...

King Koda adores dehydrated chicken treats.... aside from deer jerky, they are his absolute favorite treat. But I also found that chicken tends to irritate whatever allergy it is that makes his eyes tear and him to scratch and shed. I really seem to have an allergy prone chow in Kodie, where Princes...

When I got Koda... he had been weaned on Purina One Lamb and Rice and that's what I kept him on. He was (and still is) a healthy boy... but his eyes watered something awful (entropion) and he scratched and shedded something awful for a puppy. After coming here and asking for help, I switched Koda ov...
