Is a Chow Chow a good choice for me?

Big Dog — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:51:22 +0000

If you would like to have a true friend that will protect you at any cost in any dangers, then Chow Chow is a good breed for you. They can become very attached and devoted to a family member – although they will love and protect all members if given enough love and praise. Apart from this, they tend to be lazy and relatively inactive – they love to be in the house all day. They are very loyal, patient and polite, but can be really bossy and dominant if feel neglected. They don’t like other dogs or animals around them – except if they are raised together from an early age.

The Chow Chow has a thick, coarse, double coat that causes very heavy seasonal shedding, so during spring and autumn daily brushing is required. They are relatively healthy, but prone to health issues like hip dysplasia, heart diseases or allergies.

Training this breed is very hard, as these dogs are dominant, so they require a heavy-handed, yet consistent and calm trainer, otherwise they can become aggressive. Therefore obedience training and socialization is a must from the early ages.

All in all, this breed is very nice and will become a god companion if treated with love and fairness. Apart from that, all you have to provide them is a small, well-fenced yard and short, daily walks with you.

I hope that this article will be helpful for you and will help you decide whether Chow Chow is the best breed for you.
