Chow Chow

Just introduced her to the rest of the pack. Has that dominant streak towards the bulldog, so that's a bit of a problem. Otherwise she is cute, beautiful and clever .

Has never had a accident in the house, she goes to the door evertime and wakes me up once during the night. She's extremely smart and I have trained her to sit, stay, leave it, and stand which means stand still while I put on or take off your leash. She loves riding in the car and is gentle with the cats. I was extremely worried about aggression with the cats, but she has only wanted to play with them, she even allows them to eat out of her dish. I'm extremely happy I have her.

The Chow chow's that I have walked have all been so lovely. They are very friendly when I have arrived them and have loved being out and about on their walks. The chow chow's have kept a slower pace to their walk, and do not seem to speed up or pull at all during the course of their walks. They have always been friendly with other dogs as well when I have had experiences walking them.

Chow chow is a little on the stubborn side. The one I walked walks very fast, pretty much jogged. They’re not the friendliest in the beginning and barks at strangers coming in to the home but is friendly once he warmed up.

Chow chow’s are hit and miss breeds. They are sometimes absolute amazing dogs with no behavioral issues and then they can also be absolute terrors on the walk. I have experienced both scenarios. They are super sweet to their humans and great protectors of the home. They have always had an aggressive side to them and I do believe it’s in their breeds Blood. I’m not sure it would be my go to pet as they are 50/50 on growing into a well behaved dog. They also have had history of biting or snapping at people.

Super sweet and loving, was timid at first but once we started walking the dog was very comfortable and had a great time.

Quite hard to walk. they are so strong. Not reliable off the lead.

I grew up with two Chow Chows that belonged to my grandfather. These dogs are super cuddly but with family! Since they really weren't socialized with many people outside the family they has a little bit of a defensiveness to them. If something didn't seem right they would be the first to let you know whether it be from strong glares to loud barks. Other then that they are huge teddy bears. In the house they are very relaxed and often enjoy lounging around while observing what goes on in their surroundings. Outside alone they can be very interactive with you and bound about, but if they're with other Chows that are familiarized to them you'll really get to see that puppy playful side they have. Due to their long coats my grandfather often had them groomed to avoid any shed around the house. I would recommend these dogs to pretty much anyone who has the time to groom them as well as the time to train and socialize them at an earlier age so that they don't become overly protective about you. They can be the biggest gentle giants when raised correctly.

My walking with Miss Charlie the Chow Chow was a highly enjoyable walk indeed! As we were walking through central park, she definitely kept me on my toes chasing after squirrels! I did have to keep a firm grip on the lead because of this. She was very friendly to fellow dog lovers that wished to say hello. She did not jump on them, but offered her head for all the scratches! She often tried to chase squirrels all the way up trees, such a cutie! She was so floofy and happy on our walk! She had lots of energy and even when she wasn’t eye-ing a squirrel, wanted to walk/run at a fast pace! It was a pleasure walking with this Chow Chow Floof and I would love to walk with her again soon!

Happy being around people and getting attention. Amazing looking dog. Purple tongue is a standout with a beautiful white coat. I'm not sure if this was a mixed Chow Chow because I have never seen one with a full white coat of fur. Happy with a big smile as we walked around the lower wet side. Great dog for cold climate region. Would not recommend them for hot region due to their heavy coat of hair.

My experience is with a Chow mixed with a lab. He is the sweetest dog around and though he is only one years of age, he is already displaying lots of intelligence. This dog I walked is very reserved and aloof with people but very friendly and playful with other dogs. Since I have walked him several times, he treats me as he would his owner. But he was not so welcoming in the beginning. I wouldn't say he was aggressive, just very cautious and indifferent. Definitely had to warm up and get used to me. He is the same to other people when they go to pet him. He does not shy away but there is no tail wagging or happy face when they interact with him. This chow mix is a very big dog...big boned not fat or furry at all. He is massive and thus needs proper training and cajoling to be controlled so that he doesn't pull too much. He has a healthy amount of curiosity and loves exploring everything in his surroundings. Surprisingly, he does not immediately have the urge to chase after small animals such as cats, birds or squirrels. Rather, he will just pause to intently stare them down, wait for them to leave and then go about his business. This chow mix had the defining face and characteristics of a purebred Chow Chow, with wrinkles in his face and the blue tongue. Very beautiful and sweet face. He has a cat friend at home who he gets along with surprisingly well. He is very gentle with her so he seems to be aware of their size difference.He does not bark at all, very rarely only if he is hungry or needs something. One negative aspect to this breed is its stuborness which this particular dog inherited. He tends to pull on walks and wants to go in his own direction. They definitely need training and a good amount of discipline but you will be rewarded with immense loyalty. It is scary to realize that in ancient (and probably modern) times, Chinese people would eat these gorgeous animals!! This is briefly mentioned above in the description but I feel like the subject is side stepped and not made out to be as abhorrent as it truly is. These dogs seem so very loyal to their owners, how could you possibly see them as a food source?

The Chow Chow that I walked did not give one lick about who he was being walked by. When I put the leash on him he was very good about standing perfectly still and allowing me to put it on, but did not express excitement in ways that I have grown accustomed. We walked for our session together and he did very well. He didn't pull much, he did his business, he kept his head high and his body straight; overall he was very good. He wasn't, however, very good at listening to me when I suggested that he sit at corners and certainly wasn't about to show me any tricks. We had a very nice walk overall, but I did find his behavior to be pretty funny. I Brough him home and took his leash off and he just wandered into the living room without looking back. I suppose it could probably feel nice to be that independent...

My chow is a very hyper and he always bark whenever he's seing a cat. But he's very sweet and i really love him.

Bella was 2 months old when we got her from breeder. She is a pure Chow Chow. From first day, she was clean and went into the garden. She is a sweet dog and likes to be treated like a baby. But she has her moments if being very hyper. Just need to make her tired. She still needs to understand to use her teeth gentle, she isn't really biting but tries to animate playing by slightly biting and barking when she is getting hyper.

They are loving and playfull. All around a fluff Ball of Joy.

Noel was a Chow Lab mix with a lab personality and chow looks. We got her as a pup and she grew up with our three boys. She was lovable, would roughhouse with the boys and was highly protective of them but not aggressive. She would pull a sled during the winter and loved to play in the snow. When I was away on business she would sleep outside the boys' rooms or next to the front door ready to protect them. Her only negative was excessive shedding which drove my wife crazy. She was a lovable companion for the whole family and lived to be sixteen years old. She was indifferent with other dogs but loved to hunt rabbits. Definitely a dog which should be brought into the family as a pup and grow up as part of an attentive family. One person in the family must take the role as the pack leader.

Yogi was born May 23rd 2020. He is a pure bred chow. We like being outside alot and Yogi is always with us. We always know someone is coming at night as Yogi will sound the alarm before even he can see who it is. I've found that you can not let people Approach him first. He needs to be the approacher otherwise the trust is broken and he will not like that person and will keep a swift eye on them until they leave. We also have a shit-zu and have had no issues with aggression and yes they are both males. All in all we love our Yogi bear and he knows it. He's spoiled rotten.
