She’s almost identical lacking the purple tongue, her ears are a tad longer as is her tail so it doesn’t curl back up, she’s a little larger, must have gotten a bit more of the TS than Chow. We’ve always thought she was a Golden mix but the talking and whining, ridiculous undercoat, and smaller ear canals says maybe not. She’s a silly sweetheart.

    I grew up with a ChowChow and later volunteered at a shelter and would often have to inform people that yes even tho they are cute and fluffy they are NOT family dogs. ChowChows actually really hate children and tend to be aggressive towards other household members if they don't have a close relationship with them. My childhood one was very close to me as I was his main provider(I was homeschooled so i fed him/walked him/played with him etc) and would often growl at my dad for getting close. Which is why theyre so often found in shelters, people see a fluffy dog and dont realize how they act. You can tell his owners train him well tho bc if he wanted to bite he would have but he stopped each time.

    • @royalqueenwolf
      @royalqueenwolf Před rokem +12

      As with every breed it depends on the animal itself. I grew up with a Chow myself, my dad bought him for me when I was 3. He was my best friend and protector and he was great with every other member of the family, even ones he didn't see very often. Socializing is also key, which many owners neglect with any breed. My current Chow Koda is fine for the groomer and goes with me to pet stores. He's never shown any aggression. People also say Chows hate cats. But if they're properly trained and raised with cats they get along with them fine. Both my past Chow and my current one are good with cats.

      @@No-is2cj My school has SO MANY of those same issues..along with the fact kids with special needs (need help with learning, behavior problems, or physically challenged) are often not given work past 5th grade work along with being forced to do janitor work for free like cleaning windows (especially cleaning them of that damn finger pain the school puts up like every month) or picking up litter..It's really sad. They treat kids as stupider than they are.
      along with my school being poorly built and poorly maintained, my classroom literally was unable to be used for like a month+ because the ceiling collapsed and flooded the room! There's horrible leaks and thus mold so the classroom smelt like mold for a LONG time, their bright idea was to fan it out into the hall and out a door..made the hall unbreathable, they stopped trying that after a bit, and when we were using the class again the carpet was STILL wet and squishy along with just missing the ceiling bit so we could the inside of the ceiling and I'm unsure if it got fixed.

    My rescue boy's rear end is of similar floofiness. When we adopted him a year ago, he did NOT like that part of his body brushed. I was gentle and was using the appropriate brush for his coat, but he showed me teeth anyways. Every brushing session, I would see how much he'd let me do and if he showed teeth, I would stop. He's never attempted to bite me, but he was warning me that he didn't like it. We had a breakthrough this August when he was blowing coat, and I was brushing him nearly every day. He learned that I won't hurt him with the brush and that it actually feels nice. I recently gave him a bath and towel dried him as the dryer scared him. He let me brush all over and now he's the softest he's ever been. Patience and trust pays off! Thanks for the great video!

      honestly, I still have somewhat of an irrational fear of them. my sister had one named Argos, and he came to live with us when she had to come back home. he bit me three times, each of varying severity. I have a pretty considerable scar above my right knee, and I’m really lucky he didn’t slice my hand open. as a side note, my sisters ex husband was the one who got Argos, with no knowledge of the breed or anything, and he had been abandoned by a previous owner at the shelter, and seemed very traumatized by all of it.

      And I’d also like to add that she also did a good thing and pointed out that the muzzle wasn’t bite proof, which is another important thing to note. I was holding a dog with a coworker for a medical exam once (we were inserting an IV, he was going down for a dental cleaning and I was the “head tapper”, not actually holding the dog but distracting him so he didn’t fight the tech putting the needle in) who had on a muzzle because he was known to be a biter. Dog had on the best fitting and smallest dog muzzle we had (he was a Pomeranian), and even with my distraction and my coworker’s tight hold, once we stuck him with the IV line he went ballistic and managed to bite my coworker in the face THROUGH THE MUZZLE. Coworker was sent to urgent care for stitches and a new note was added in the computer that he needed a cat muzzle (which is plastic and covers the whole face) rather than a dog one (which is only supposed to hold the mouth shut). He’s the only dog I’ve ever put a cat muzzle on before and he’s my cautionary tale for never taking muzzles for granted.

    Seeing these floofy boys makes me glad I have a short-hair dog. He's a Pit-Border Collie mix so he has softer, slightly longer hair than a usual Pit. Sheds up a storm but I don't have to worry about grooming or matting on him. Just a weekly brush and occasional bath and he's good.

      pit + collie sounds amazing but also chaotic. have heard pits have a heart of gold, and from experience collies are from another planet lol
      must be a sweetheart 💛💛

    I'm so happy to see a chow chow here, considering their reputation of being mean and fierce this makes me relieved to know that is it truly how you raise them that makes the dog 🥺

      They aren't so much mean and fierce as unpredictable and almost perversely cruel.
      Spent a career in law enforcement, these were the dogs that you simply never knew what they were going to do. Also, off leash terrors in neighborhoods too, just horrible things I've seen this breed do.

      @@JD-tn5lz I think you misspelled "they're an ultra-protective guard breed that requires constant, strict training and stimulation that they don't obtain from the people who buy them because they're pretty" but I fixed it for you.
      No bad dogs. No bad breeds. Only bad owners.

      @@JD-tn5lz definately unpredictable , I used to groom dogs and the chows rarely showed emotion , making it very hard to know what they were thinking . We never did anything the chow didn’t like especially touch the nails . As a kid I remember a chow that was allowed loose in the neighborhood , luckily it kept a distance from us but not smart to let them loose

    I am amazed and appreciative at the hair you get out in the tub. It looks incredible, water pushing out loads of hair. I believe Chows are one of the worst biters and German Shepherd are up there, too. SOOO, you have a lot to handle with him and you did so good !! Perhaps his owners don't brush him enough. Well done !

    Our family dog when i was a kid was Keeshond/ChowChow/German Shepherd. Her name was Keesha (we didn't know we were pronouncing her breed wrong lol). We had a family daycare and she was so good with all of us, she lived to be 14. She was the best dog. :) We luckily had a groomer down the street.

    My dog Lexi has a mix of 20 breeds in her (according to her DNA test), but the largest chunk (20%) is Chow. That explains her thick double coat (not quite as thick as this dog). She gets quite floofy in the winter and then she looks like she's dropped 20lbs after her coat blows and she is defloofed!
