When properly trained, Chow Chows will give their lives for their homes and families. Chow Chows are often compared to cats, as they will let their owners know when they want attention and affection. They do not require large amounts of petting and touching, nor do they seem to prefer being fawned over by their owners. Chow Chows can be jealous. Be cautious when introducing a new baby into the Chow Chow s home.
Chows are prone to killing small animals such as rodents and cats.
A Chow Chow may even leave a mouse or other dead animal at your door as a gift, not unlike a cat. Chow Chows have been known to kill smaller animals just for sport. Chow Chows are difficult to train, and are not recommended for first time pet owners. If you are unable or unwilling to show your dog who is the boss, don t buy a Chow Chow.
