We owned a female red Chow Chow from 1984 to 1996. One summer day, our two year old son managed to open the garden gate. Shardy followed after him as he toddled down the street. We came sprinting out of the house as we saw them turning the corner towards a busy road. Shardy was walking between our son and the road. Suddenly, the boy went to cross the road - as a van was coming down the hill. Shardy grabbed him by the back of his jeans and pulled him back onto the pathway, thus saving his life. Chow Chows certainly do protect their family.

what about your Shardy right now,is he OK

I've had one of these dogs, a black female, she was an absolute treasure to have and we adored her, we got her when the Sugar Puff bear was on the telly and everywhere we went children crowded around us to stroke her as they thought she was a bear. She loved every minute of the attention and was very gentle with everybody. When our children came along she was very protective towards them and when they went to bed she would lay at the bottom of the stairs till we went to bed. In the morning whoever got up first she would greet them and then dash upstairs to greet the children and then wait downstairs and wait for her porridge with the children. We had her about twelve years and we were all devastated when she died and still think and talk about her everyday. That was in 1982 and she's still in our hearts and will be as long as we live.

I think it’s best to adopt a chow chow when they’re still a small puppy, because then they’ll grow up being used to socialising, petting, cuddling, etc. Unfortunately, most dogs that end up in shelters as adults come from extremely abusive and horrendous backgrounds, and that really affects the behaviour of chow chows. Of course, any dog can be rehabilitated, but if you want a chow who will get along with other dogs, kids, different humans, etc, the safest bet is to get a puppy and raise them affectionately.

We rescued a stray chow, he was still less than a year old and a rescued chow, she was 2-3 when we got her, same age as our stray. Our children lived to be 17 years old, we fed them raw for over half their lives and it really did eliminate trips to the vet beyond checkups and teeth cleanings until the last few years when old age had its impact. I have never felt love for someone else or from someone else as deeply as I felt it with my Chow children. Both our Chows were black, which essentially made them invisible at night when they were outside. My wife felt a degree of peace and safety that not even a gun could bring her when she was out with one or both of our babies. A few men tried to approach her when she would go on her walks with our precious pair. One man thought his dog connection would be a way to meet my wife. He talked about how dogs love him and how good he is with animals and she said "If you come any closer, there is a good chance you'll have to go to the hospital. If you don't want to be attacked by my two chows, please STOP where you are." We didn't raise them to be attack dogs, but their sense of guardianship is intense and constant. As long as my wife or I managed a meet and greet with new humans, after a few minutes they would ignore them, which meant they past the test. If for some reason they could never pass the test even if they followed our exact instructions - then that was a red flag for us because Chows don't lie. I could talk forever about my love of Chow Chows and my 15+ years of wonderful memories of being a Chow Parent. Thank you for making a video about Chows, I've always loved your show. Any woman that lets wolves stick their tongues down her throat has a serious commitment to the Canine Family.

I have a gray chow chow, she’s the love of my life. My dad loves her but as soon as I come back from university she doesn’t leave my side. She doesn’t care about strangers and will ignore them. She’s really silly and has quite some quirky habits, I’m so happy to see this kind of video.

I got my chow, Freya from the shelter about a year ago. When we got her we were warned that she would be difficult to deal with. I had experience with Chow’s temperament before so when I met her I could tell she was a sweet dog, just shy of strangers. A year later, Freya is the most loving and loyal dog I’ve ever had. I think she has suffered from trauma from being abandoned and she is a bit nervous at times, and very protective of our house. However when we are out going for a walk she is always so friendly and lovable! She walks up to people to say hello and is always checking in on me. Chows are great dogs and I’ll be getting another sometime soon ❤️

There's nothing like a Chow, nothing. When they love you, it's overwhelming. I'm 74. I'm in my 8th year with my 5th Chow. I hope he's around as long as my last 2 Chows. They lived 15 & 16 years respectively. I hope I have enough life in me to raise 1 more before I cash it in. My current Chow is very large. He is 6 inches taller at the withers then standard and weighs 120#. He is a rough coat shaded cinnamon. He's not fat, just big. We walk 5 miles everyday regardless of the weather. He loves being outside and he loves the water. It's hard to keep him out of it. I cook his dinner every night. He gets rice with 10 oz of cooked meat, 1 hard-boiled egg, vegetables and some cooked sweet potatoes topped with shredded cheddar cheese. It's balanced and it's healthy.

Yeah, chow chows can be very protective of their own. I used to walk one every day for 2 years and one night a drunk man came up to me and talked loudly. The man just wanted to ask for directions, but in the state he was in, Yang walked up in front of me and started growling softly and showing teeth just to let him know that no shady business will happen here 😅

I had a chow chow 50 years ago as a 10 yr old. No one had ever seen one where I lived. We had total strangers constantly running across the road upto her to stroke her velvet furry head, ignoring my instructions to leave her alone as she didn't really like it. She was quite a timid natured dog who like her own space and wanted to play on her terms.😊She was the most beautiful dog I have ever seen. She liked to lay half in the cold hallway with the lounge door open and her head in the lounge to keep her eye on us whilst we huddled near the fire. Winters back then were quite bad but she came alive in the snow and cold temperatures. They do need regular grooming to keep that coat looking immaculate. Now that I'm retired I might get another one. Chow chows hold a special place in my heart.

She was barely a yr old at the time. We grew up together.she would always sing. It was a sad day when she was in pain. And couldn't stand on her own anymore. I would go out every day to help her stand to go on her potty walk. One day she sang a sad sounding song. She was telling us she was ready. She all but gave her paw to our vet.

It kind of spoiled what was otherwise a fantastic experience with the breed...a more loyal, entertaining, and loving companion/guard dog you will not find. This woman's chows obviously have been bred for temperament, and have been well socialized.....lovely to see.

A friend had a chow years ago, sad to say, that dog was a complete psycho. Very territorial, very possessive, very aggressive. And for some weird reason, it despised anybody wearing the color brown. UPS people were rightfully scared of that dog, and so were the local deputy sheriffs (who wore the same color brown). It even hated black people. They did a terrible job socializing it and that was the result. If you're going to get a chow, make sure that you're ready to put the work in to train it properly and get it used to people, and understand its traits. They are not hands-off puppers. And don't even think about getting one from a puppy mill. I honestly think there are bad bloodlines in the breed that are more prone to being hair-trigger and psycho.

I grew up with two chows and I loved them both so so much. Our female was black and MASSIVE, 75 lbs lean with a high protection drive. Even as a puppy, she would try to protect us from the larger dogs at the store while hiding behind our legs (we had to stop bringing her after awhile). She was 110% our guard dog through and through and despite her high, feminine bark, she was ALL teeth and I would have felt awful for anyone dumb enough to try to come into our home. She was high-strung and passed away fairly young just after her tenth birthday. Our male however…… was tiny and an absolute puffball. Frosty was my dog. He followed me everywhere and was extreeeeemely good with people. I actually worked with a few people in my neighborhood who’d had previous bad experiences with the breed to help overcome their fear of them and to help teach them what they can really be like when trained properly. He was 45 lbs at his heaviest and a lovely cream that got darker in the winter. I could do literally anything to this dog from something as simple as plucking fluff to petting him with As long as we were touching in some way, he was happy and taking a nap. He tried to protect me from geese once and often kicked up with a deep bark if our female started up first. He lived to 14.5 and I was devastated when Mom made the call to put him down (I live two hours away). He was THE best and it’s because of him that I would like to rescue a how or two later down the line.

I absolutely love the chows I have a blue female chow and she's so sweet and adorable she's full of sugars and gives them freely to the family. She's playful and greets me when I get home by shaking her toy at me in her mouth she always bring me her favorite toy.she adds love and joy to our lives, and is most likely the best thing to come from China.I can't imagine anyone hurting them,let alone eating them.

I love my US born rescued chows. I've had 5. My first two males were actually friendlier than my current females. When my son was a baby my male chow protected him like his own puppy. My girls , who have come from shelters, are not friendly with strangers, but love the family dearly.

Those chows are like golden lab friendly. I socialized my chow as a puppy and she is neutral towards guests, not running up and greeting them! Wow!

I'm an American chow owner. I've had chows all my life. Many Americans perceive them to be aggressive but many have also never heard that reputation before. Whether or not a dog turns out to be aggressive is almost always entirely dependent on the owner's actions. If you socialize them, they will be like any other dogs. My current chow has been socialized since I got him at 11 weeks. However, he does not like being pet by strangers. He doesn't bite or get aggressive, he just ducks his head when they try to pet him. But he always does the play bow and wants to play with people. With me he is the biggest love bug and wants cuddles and kisses all the time.

I am so amazed how sweet and affectionate they all are! Chow Chows are usually aloof, catlike, not lap buddies. These puff balls are so sweet and precious!!! I want one!!!❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🐾🐾🐾

I had a black chow named Teddy (AKC name was Theodore Baer), he was an absolute joy to have. We also had a miniature schnauzer, who was older, that showed him the ropes and turned Teddy into a great guard dog (the schnauzer was the boss and Teddy followed his lead quite well)....he was totally bonded to our immediate family but wanted nothing to do with anyone from the outside no matter how much we tried to socialize him. Once I grew up and got married he bonded with my son to the point where he sometimes wouldn't let me in the room when the baby was sleeping.....one of the best friends I've had in this life..... he's sorely missed

We got a chow-chow puppy when I was 10. When one talks about a breed ambassador, Cindy was it. She was faithful and incredibly patient, allowing my friends and I to dress her up and the little toddler neighbor to pull her tail and face and climb on her. She growled twice in her entire life, both times when there was a "strange" man in our backyard (one was a utility worker doing maintenance on the phone pole, the other was the other neighbor's oldest son climbing the fence to get a lost frisby). She was affectionate with everyone but stand-offish with adult men save for my dad and one other: my high school sweet heart whom I ended up marrying in no small part because Cindy immediately took to him. I will love chow-chows for the whole of my life.

I grew up with a red chow chow and he managed to turn 14 years old before we had to put him down because of a massive tumor in his stomach. I still remember all the great times I had with him, he was so gentle and was an amazing guard dog but he was never aggressive. My nephew and his little sister were both crawling all over him when they were toddlers, and he would just walk off if he had enough. Even though he passed away 13 years ago, I still miss him every single day. Was the best dog I have ever had ❤❤

I had a pair, brother and sister. They were the best dogs I've ever had, and I've had all kinds over 70 years.

i was a police officer and I took more dog bite reports involving Chows 2nd only to Pit bulls over all other dogs. Pit bull attacked were much more damaging than other dogs. I find the Chow to be beautiful dogs I had a girl friend with three and her dogs were sweet hearts. My wife and I have Pomeranian dogs that kind of look like little Chows . i love your videos.

@@Animal-Watch Most the reasons dog bit people is their owners let them wonder the streets were I was a cop. The owner is responsible for their dogs behavior and in many cases the dogs temperate too especially pit bulls. When we showed up at dog incidents no one would claim ownership of the dog so it was hard to issue citations. Very sad ending for some of these dogs.

My dad lives on the Southside of Chicago and he had a gray one named Nashoba he loved barking at and chasing squirrels.The only time he bit someone was when my uncle was antagonizing him but that was it and I think he deserved it cause he was cool with everyone else.I would walk him around the nieghborhood all the time and no one would bother me.

I've been bitten more by small dogs than pit bulls. I personally feel that pit bulls are some of the most beautiful dogs I have ever met. So affectionate and people orientated.

S H1990 I grew up with pits and they’re awesome. The perfect, medium sized utility breed. Strong, biddable and usually healthy. They’ll gladly be as ferocious as you want them or as friendly as you let them become.

It seems that Fluffyland was finally discovered!!! 🐶🌺😄

He he yes 😁

I have a black male Chow . He will be 4yrs Christmas day 2020 . His name is Braxton . I was surprised when you brought up the chicken problem ! Brax has been fed a raw chicken diet since 4 months old . He also has raw eggs daily . Chicken is an almost complete nutritious diet . Protein , fat , calcium ( the bones ) . He is given sweet potato wrapped in duck for fiber . Researching breeds before I bought him , he suited my lifestyle . He,s lazy ( lol ) very protective of me and a great watch dog . He is aloof at times , like a cat . Extremely loving to me but takes him a few times to warm up to any other people . He does not like to be cuddled but has to be near me . Very smart . I've babied him since 8 weeks old when I got him because of their natural aggressive behavior . I live in Canada and some insurance companies will not insure your property if you own a Chow because of their known aggressiveness . All of these things I knew about before I got him . He is thee most wonderful dog .

Beautiful dog so cute and the owner does a great job in caring and training

Our chow German Shepard mix is the best dog I have ever owned. She is extremely polite naturally and self regulates her food (unlike our bird dogs). As a young puppy she was much too proud to ever make a mess in the house and potty trained herself. A vet told me once they are big biters because they often will not growl before they bite so people don’t know to back up.

There's something about a Welsh woman's accent happily pronouncing "This is Dumpling!" that made me smile.

Best breed ever! Very loyal, protective and clean... I've had several and never had to housebreak (potty) any of them. They just seem to know to go outside to do that. Lots of grooming required though!

I am an American who had Chow Chows for 17 years until we lost our Lilith earlier this year. The temperament of any dog is heavily dependent on the upbringing. Loki, our boy, was definitely more bullish and serious, but not mean. Lilith was an absolute angel and was sweet and docile with everyone, including the vet. This is a wonderful breed that does, unfortunately, have a bad, but undeserved rep in the US.

I am glad there was mention of dedicating 10-15 minutes a day on brushing. It really goes a long way not just with Chows but any other long haired double coated dog (Husky, Malamute, Keeshond, right on down to the Pomeranian).

You can never stop learning about this breed. My family always owned chows and now I’m raising one which is currently a little over a year. This is a breed that isn’t suppose to be taken lightly. It was a lot of work socializing but the end result was amazing. I love this breed to death and probably will always stay with this breed. The video is right though, the standard is a lot different in the US. Always wanted a U.K. chow but they’re hard to find :/

Thanks for sharing this video it’s awesome to see my kindred being loved so much.

Our family owns one and he’s going for 2 years now. People say that they tend to become aggressive but we’re so thankful he grew up to be such the most fluffy and friendliest dog that he is today. He’s doing really well and we’ll take good care of him so he’ll live a long and happy life!

I grew up with 2 Chows, they were my first friends in life. I Still miss them, but this video made me smile.

I love the fact that when she enters the house she doesn't pay attention to the owner and is like all over the dogs😂

Thank you for showing people that why I have spent over 30 years rescuing this Breed from abuse. They are the most misunderstood dog.

@@marilynblotsky4085 Marilyn I appreciate the gesture but they are the one's that thank me with Love and kindness. I am rehabilitating and 3 yo Male that beat so badly it took over 4 months for Him to just let me touch Him for one second. He didn't do anything wrong some people don't deserve to share their life with Dog's that want nothing but to please and protect you.

My absolute favorite breed of dog ever. Since first I saw one, then I met one, then I owned one and fell in love. One of my favorite things was to get up early and have a cup of tea with Sheva and we would sit quietly next to each other and just enjoy the sunrise. Such a calm dog she was. Very quiet yet very present.

Gotta love chows. Such a misunderstood breed but they're so tender on the inside. My Moomin is very protective and standoffish but she warms up after a while. She loves dogs, but she's weary of strangers coming home as she doesn't like surprises. But once they warm up, they're the most loving, loyal and funny dogs. They don't want any trouble with anything or anyone, and they're lazy as heck xD

This lady owner wow you can see she's researched her dogs history and you can see they whole family loves these doggies 😍😍

They look like teddy bears. That welcome didn't look aloof.

Been a proud owner of a Chow Chow for 4 years now. They are exactly as the care taker here says they are. Don't expect a cuddle dog because they aren't, only on their terms and they hate to be snuggled too much. They will let you know and walk away.

These dogs remind me of my very own chow chow, Chuchu. Amazing dogs. Can I say that this was one of the most quietest shows ever. I don’t remember a single bark with the older dogs. You have an amazing show, just found this. All the best!

Look at all those big, floofy fluffballs. Look at all those squishy happy pillows !!!! 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

I've had my boy Shadow going on 10 years. He won my heart over and he's literally my shadow.. He's getting a little white hair on his chin but plays like he's a young Pup. Love my Chow Chow 🤗💕

So wonderful to see these cutie fluffy girls! So adorable! :) I never saw Chow Chows in such a positive light. Wonderful!

If I live in this household, I will just sleep on the ground.

The black one couldn't't hide the love for Anneka!! such a sweet baby! but they are temperamental and it is really on their terms!!! I am surprise to see how sweet all of these babies are! I had one and She was not very friendly with strangers!!

Those dogs are awesome. I wish I had a super fluffy boi. That’s the perfect bed partner because he or she can keep you warm whilst cuddling.

Beautiful, fluffy dogs❤️

I absolutely love the chow chow. They make me smile!!!♡♡♡

I almost cried watching this😩, cuteness overload!😍😍😍😍

I had a chow chow for 14 years , i raised him from puppy from a rescue, he was very friendly with people never had any issue with strangers patting him outside naturally. But it’s true chow is very protective and stubborn, one time he was able protect us from a break-in, great guard dog for those who needed, and he’s extremely loyal, one time I had my family come to walk him because I could not return home on time, however no one can let him out , he just sit like stone at home refused my family take him out for walk , and not eating any food . So from that time, I just know that he only accepted me and mom , no one else. He passed way in 2014 , I still miss him everyday, so many loved memories with my chow, I will definitely have a chow chow again. They can melt your heart.

When she went straight for the floor when she came in I can relate 😭❤️❤️

So adorable, lovable and well behaved ❤️❤️❤️

I have a chow, literally the most loyal, loving, handsome boy ever ❤️

These dogs just make your heart melt. They are so loving

My heart is so full. Those chow chows are so beautiful, I hope to have one in my future. So in love with these gorgeous pups

Beautiful dogs! I wanted one since I was a child. Still have to make my wish come true!!! I love them!

i gasped so loud when i saw this! this is my dream dog

These dogs are so much nicer than the Chows I have known. I live in the states, so that may be part of it, and the owners may have not done a good job with them. But, you can tell she has put so much time and love into these dogs. No wonder they are so nice .
