Ya lor, sure bearbear can get lots of bfs here.

Actually I don't allow her to sit on the sofa one, just that when she is too exciting fetching her toy and run fast, she will jump up to the sofa . Bad girl. She just reached 6 mths few days ago. Hmm...I don't plan to breed her so soon, maybe after 1 or 2 years.

I also melt when see momo's eyes like that. Hehe..unfortunately, bearbear's eyes are fierce, so won't look innocent .

wa..mspy, momo so lazy ah? Actually i wish my bearbear be a bit lazy coz she is very active and kepo. Everything also wanna go check out. Sometimes she is running me during the walk/run. About the food, do you change his food? Maybe he is too boring eating the same food? Bearbear will wallop everything in her bowl within 2 mins.

I don't find my chow chow has any odour. If you search on the net, they said chow chow has least body odour. Ya..some GR is smelly. Today I met one that smell like bull shit.... Chow chow won't get botak when shedding la, my bearbear is shedding now, not much different from the outlook but the fur really all over the place.

I'm not sure how much i spent for food but I've been keeping my chow chow for 4 months now and I think I've spent about RM400 for the food. But all the food is those premium brands food like Eagle Pack, Orijien, Addiction, Solid Gold, Evangers. As for grooming, I bath my chow chow once a week cause I keep her outdoor. Chow Chow doesn't really need grooming always cause their hair won't grow very long like shi tzu. Their fur will get into shape naturally. Maybe 3 months once go for a full grooming is enough. My bearbear is now 6 months old. It will eat more but not a lot la. Their size is actually not that big, just the fluffy fur makes it looks bigger. They are medium size dog. I'll go to the World Animal Day in KL tower this sunday. Maybe you could meet me and my chow chow there.

Chow chow can not be skinny. Their coat will make them look chubby anyway. My chow chow is kept outdoor.

Kaxen do u feed tong tong canned food? I fed bearbear canned food once and her salivar also sting. If only eat kibbles then no smell.

my bearbear is kept outside. No problem so far.

I think it is a myth that chow chow always need cool weather. Those 4 season countries have summer too and sometimes their summer is even hotter than us. If the puppy is born locally I think it should have no problem adapting to local weather.
Ah_chuan, when they don't shed, the fur won't fly and no fur will stick on your cloth. And because their fur is quite long so it will become a fur ball and easy to pick up. I don't know how much i spend on my bearbear every month coz i never keep track. It really depends on individual on how much you wanna spend.

Yes u'll need to pick up the fur. They shed twice a year.

You shaved her?

dcwk24, i mean you let the groomer shaved all her mane?

I bought my bearbear for 1.7k. You all can view her pic.

1) Do you guys all keep your Chow Chow in your house?

I kept my chow chow outside during weekdays in my sister's house and she will be indoor with me when I take her back during weekends.

(2) Do you let him/her roam free in the house or have a playpen or cage/crate?
When she is in my house, she will roam free inside my house. I even can let her roam free while nobody is at home too. No disaster will happen. She is now 8 months old.

(3) Do you have a dedicated corner/place in your house that you put newspaper for your Chow to poo poo and wee wee?
Yes, I have a dedicated corner with wee wee pad on the floor for her to pee in the kitchen. And she will come and let me know after she has pee. Normally she will poo when we bring her outside to the grass. If we are unable to bring her out, she will poo in 1 dedicated place. I never teach her, she just learned it herself.

(4) How many times do you feed your Chow?
2 times a day. Morning and evening.

I'm giving cod fish liver oil everyday to my chow chow since i got her home at 2 months. I've tried a lot of brands on my bearbear and I always mix 2 types of kibbles for her. She is now eating eagle pack holistic lamb & rice + Evangers pheasant & brown rice. Just bought Pinnacle duck & patoto for her. With mixing 2 types of kibbles together i have no problem switching her food even i switch suddenly in 1 day also her stool still firm.

Hi,
I think choosing a chow chow most important thing is not the look, it is the personality. My bearbear is not the best looking puppy in the litter but she is the smartest 1 so I choosed her. I think maybe I can share some of my experience of raising her.
I put the cage outside the door of the toilet and open the cage door so she will have access to the toilet, more space but unable to come out to other part of the house. I cover the whole cage floor with door mat so she will know that is the place she sleeps and not pee & poo. It is puppy's natural instinct of not to dirty their sleeping place. If you bought the puppy from the pet shop I think this way might not work coz they poo & pee and sleep in the cage all the time. I bought it from the breeder so she a better start. Since day 1 bearbear never pee and poo in the cage, she will go out to the toilet and pee. That's the 1st step of getting her use to the pee & poo place. Then just after few days I got her while she is still 2 months, she already learned the sit command. She has to sit 1st then only I'll give her food.
About the biting part, yes, they all bite at that age. Just make sure you have tons of toys and when she bite your hand, give her the toys to bite. I never beat my bearbear and she never bite any of my furniture and things other than the toys I gave her. You need to show your love to the chow chow and when she loves you back, she will listen to everything you said. Bearbear will stop whatever she is doing whenever I said 'no no'.

Haha..although my bearbear is quite well-behaved but she is very energetic and curious too. She will follow me everywhere i go and check out everything i did. When she is in the park, she is the one that always bringing me to walk.

I start bring her to walk after all her vaccination done at about 3 months. Below is some video of her doing sit & fetch at about 2 months.





Bearbear at 7 months:
