Prepare for unexpected vet bills
The Pitchow is a unique hybrid dog that results from mixing the American Pit Bull Terrier with the Chow Chow. Oftentimes, there is no set look or appearance for this breed since they can inherit a mix of attributes from both parent breeds. The personalities of the Pitchow may also differ from one dog to another since the parents have contrasting temperaments. In general, however, you can expect this breed to be gentle and compliant to their owners but they can be wary around strangers. Pitchows are also known for their independence. Despite this, they still like to have plenty of play time and bonding moments with their families.Â
The American Pit Bull Terrier is renowned for being one of the most active dog breeds in the world. On the other hand, the Chow Chow is not really known for having high energy levels. Therefore, the Pitchow will likely need only a moderate amount of exercise to remain fit and healthy. A good and enjoyable physical activity that your Pitchow can engage in is swimming. Not only is swimming a great way to burn off some extra energy; it is also low-impact and will not lead to the damage of your dog’s joints. While you and your dog can technically swim any time you want to, the best time to do so would be during the hot summer days as a way to cool off.Â
It may come as a surprise to some but there is actually a constant need for pet blood. Similar to how human blood transfusion works in case of accidents or other conditions, pets who have lost a significant amount of blood need to undergo transfusion. These supplies of blood are typically stored in veterinary clinics. Most adult dogs, regardless of breed, are eligible to become a blood donor as long as they are in excellent health. Being that they are fairly large and healthy, Pitchows are ideal candidates for blood donation. By having your pooch donate blood, you get a sense of fulfilment by saving the lives of other canines who are in need.Â
In general, Pitchows need only an average amount of exercise to retain a healthy mind and body and to boost their overall wellbeing. Out of the many physical activities that your Pitchow can engage in, carting is one of the most suitable choices. Because this designer dog possesses the strength of the Pit Bull and the calm temperament of a Chow Chow, they are the perfect candidate for dog carting. In this activity, your dog will simply pull a cart that contains some heavy items such as bricks or rocks. Carting can help develop your Pitchow’s muscles and keep them physically fulfilled for the entire day.Â
Chase is a timeless childhood game that can easily become an owner-pet activity. Simply take your dog out to your backyard and call out your dog’s attention as you try to outrun them. The game can last anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes or until your dog gets tired of running around.Â
When it comes to the wide selection of mixed breeds, the Pitchow might not be the first one to come to mind because of the seemingly odd combination of the American Pit Bull Terrier and the Chow Chow. However, this breed has a lot of charming qualities that can make for a wonderful home pet.Â
