My chow chow is locked in the cage at night and the cage is chained to the grill. So I think it is quite safe. And my chow chow is a very good guard dog, I don't think anybody can get near the gate without her barking. By the way, she adopts 3 sets of house rules. My own condo, my father's house and my sister's house. She guards all the 3 houses too. I'm so lucky to have her.

My chow chow also doesn't like rubber toy. I gave her nylon bone and soft toys. She enjoys them.

Yktan, you can also meet up with my bearbear. She is very friendly to dogs and human and she has completed the basic obedience training by MKA. My dog will poo on the grass when I bring her outside. If I'm unable to bring her out, I'll scoope the poo up and flush into the toilet. Hassle free. My bearbear also a very brave dog, she never scare either thunder or fireworks.

Scoope the poo into the longkang. Using plastic bag is not environmental saving at all.

dcwk24 , I'm affraid ur donna is too old to breed. I think the oldest age to breed a dog is at 5 year-old.
I never beat or scold my bearbear. I don't believe in beating dog, my bearbear does not submissive to me, she loves me.

When she is abt very young and want to bite things because of teething, I always show her the toys that she supposes to bite and if she bites the toys i'll praise her a lot. Now she doesn't bite anything except the thing that I gave her as toy. If she try to explore new things like towel, she will stop when I said 'no no'. Now I can leave her alone at home without any worries. She is not even interested in my shoes

She did pee & poo inside the house b4 5 months old. After 5 months, suddenly she knows how to pee on the wee wee pad in the kitchen. You must keep an eyes on her when she is young and immediately said 'no no' and push her away if she pee & poo in the incorrect place. She learned it by herself to pee & poo everytime step on the grass so i don't need to train her to poo outside. My house got a grand piano & carpet but I totally don't worry. I can left her roaming free in my house alone for few hour and still nothing happened in the house. This is my house rules fo her:

1) At my sister's house: Bearbear is at my sister's house from Sunday to Friday. Since she is tied outside the house so she got no choice have to pee at the place she is tied up. My bro in law will bring out to walk & poo at night.

2) At my father's house: I bring her there everyday when I go there. She have to stay at the car pouch and no pee & poo allowed. I'll bring her out to the grass to pee every few hours.

3) My house: I'll take her back on fri after work and stay with me till Sunday. She pee on the wee wee pad put in the kitchen and poo at the wet kitchen where there is a hole to flush down the poo if she has no chance to go out. She can roam freely except my room in my house.

I dunno how she learned it but she is completely house broken after age of 5 months. No accident at all. I thik praise work much better than shout. I praise her a lot when she did her business at the correct places.

Added on March 5, 2009, 6:03 pmenvyblue, i just saw your post in the 'pet store' thread. Maybe it is more appropriate for me to answer here. When I searched for my bearbear in last year jun, I found both cream & red. Maybe it is just not the season now. You need to wait. I bought my bearbear from a breeder in jln ipoh but i heard he is not into the breeding business anymore.

Hi,
1) my bearbear seldom bark. She actually never bark unless there is stranger outside the gate and cats. I think all dogs will be hard to control at 1st especially when they are puppies. Just need more practice and patient.
2) I used to bath my bearbear once a week but now is 2 weeks once. I'm using McKlee's shampoo for puppies. I just towel dry him when I bath her myself. I send to grooming center to bath her in alternate week.

err..i think a studio 600+ would be a bit small for a chow chow. Unless you can bring it out for walk everyday.

I'm also a first time dog owner and she is a chow chow too. Chow chow is not hard to take care, they are quiet and clean. You may need more time to take care of their coat.

My chow chow is very good guard dog. She knows how to guard at the age of 2 months old.

Why not? Try to google chow chow, you'll know they are actually guard dog since ancient time. Monk in China use them to guard temple.

hehe, don't get cheated by their cute face. I went for obedience training and the trainer doesn't dare to touch my chow chow.

I went for the MKA obedience training. As for living along with other pets, you need to socialise him since young. My father just adopted a stray dog and my chow chow is fine with her. To avoid skin problem, don't feed anything with wheat, corn or chicken. I only feed my chow chow lamb, duck, venison etc. I never feed her any kibbles with chicken. So far no problem (touch wood).

She is 1.5 year-old. Somehow my chow chow doesn't like to eat fish. She rejects all the Orijien 6 fresh fish & Addiction Salmon Bleu. Now feeding Evangers pheasant & Rice + Natural Balance Lamb & Rice. Will start on Acana Lamb & Apple soon.
