The Chow Chow is probably the most misunderstood of all dog breeds. Over the years the breed has received negative publicity for aggression, however, like any other breed this depends on how the dog was raised. Chow Chows are low-energy, highly intelligent dogs. The breed is naturally clean and quiet which allows for the breed to do well in most living situations as long as the dog is given adequate exercise. The dog is not one to run away, so he does well in a fenced yard. He will remain loyal to the family until the end, but before adding a new Chow puppy to yours, please do your research and make sure the breed is right for you, because they can be harder to re-home as they become very attached to their owners.
When you make the choice to adopt a Chow puppy, you are making a life-long commitment. Although the breed is easier to care for than most, they are still not for everyone. Check with your landlord and insurance company before bringing one home because some insurance companies either charge a higher premium or will not cover your home at all if you have the breed.
After your research is complete and you have decided upon the Chow Chow, make sure you choose a reputable breeder and not a puppy mill. You should start socializing your Chow puppy immediately because the breed can become aggressive. Proper socialization from a young age, however, can prevent this. In the end, if you choose the Chow as the right breed for you, you will not be disappointed; this is one of the best breeds available!
