Sterling Silver Chow Chow Charm

Big Dog | April 11th, 2010

Having a Chow Chow is cool enough, but wearing a Sterling Silver Chow Chow Charm is definitely astounding. A dog charm that is beautifully sculpted with an image of a Chow Chow and made from sterling silver 925, allows you take your Chow Chow with you anywhere you are, not physically though.

Chow Chows are most commonly kept as pet due to its extremely loyal temperament. This breed can easily bond tightly with its owner and its family with its typical affectionate and loving nature. Based on DNA analysis, Chow Chows are proven to be the oldest breed of dog which is one of the most primitive breeds to evolve from the wolf. With deep set, almond-shaped eyes, who will not fall in love with this breed? Chow Chows are prominent and unique because of their unusual blue-black or purple tongue, and you will be the coolest pet owner with your Chow Chow dog charm.

How Our Best Friends Break Our Hearts – One Dog At A Time

Big Dog | April 23rd, 2009

All our dogs have the ability to break our hearts. Whether you share your life with a CHOW CHOW or a Labrador Retriever, the bond you form with your dog can be one of the closest and most powerful you will ever experience.

Saving the Strays of Helmand

If you want proof of just how extraordinary the relationsip between man and his best friend can be then you really must read a stunning new book called One Dog At A Time. It has been written by a British Marine and dog lover called Pen Farthing and tells of his time serving in the violent Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

While dodging the bullets and mortars, Sergeant Farthing witnessed the cruel and barbaric Afghan tradition of dog fighting. Rather than standing by as many would have done, he risked his life by breaking up the fighting and freeing the dogs. One of them, a big, battle-scarred mastiff he christened Nowzad after the town he was stationed in, found his way into the Marine compound where he befriended his liberator. As Farthing’’s tour of duty continued, he and Nowzad became inseparable buddies. The tough British soldier and the powerful dog formed an odd couple in the middle of the war zone. They were soon joined by other dogs who were drawn to the sanctuary the Marine compound provided. At one point, one dog pushed her litter of newborn pups through the wall of the compound so that they could be safe from the Taliban bombs and general cruelty of the Afghans towards the dog.

By the end of his time in Afghanistan, Farthing had more than a dozen dogs and puppies living in his makeshift sanctuary. As he prepared to leave, he was faced with the heartbreaking prospect of leaving them all behind.

We won’t spoil the ending of this powerful book, but suffice it to say that two of the dogs he rescued are now living with Pen Farthing in England. He has also set up a fantastic charity to rescue other abused dogs in Afghanistan. His work is truly inspirational and is winning the admiration and support of dog lovers everywhere. Part of the proceeds from the book will go towards his charity.

If you only buy and read one dog book this year, make it One Dog At A Time.

Poem for a Chow Chow

D Dog Fan | April 7th, 2008

My Beloved Chow Chow

That blue black tongue,
That fluffy mane-
The Chow Chow stands apart.
Devoted, proud and loyal,
Sure to win your heart.

A dog that’s quick
To give a hug,
And often makes me grin-
My Chow Chow means
The world to me,
My dog, my love, my friend.
