Awesome. There’s nothing like Chow Chows. Such a stunning breed. I grew up with them, they are such a loyal family member. Totally committed to there family unit ❤ 😍🥰❤. Thank you.
I just recently found your videos, and they've been so educational and heartwarming, as we've got three Chows of our own. Love your content and can't wait to see more! There's clearly not enough Chow Chow content on RU-vid. :)
You are an incredible breeder.. your chows are amazing. I lost my chow boy Finley last year during surgery for Entropion. It’s true what they say, chows are sensitive to sedation due to their breathing. x
chow chow has 2 selections and an native(aborigen)l, an native with a longer muzzle (they have no problems with eyes, breathing and in general they are much healthier than the English and especially the American selection with a very closed muzzle
I don't have a table, but I do normally teach all of my fur babies that a towel on the floor means grooming time, and most of my babies would walk onto the towel to get groomed. I make it as enjoyable as possible. I had a chow once who loved the attention and adored me grooming him. He just loved the attention, which is weird for the breed but all of my furry, scaly, featherly babies never are "normal". I had roosters and ducks thought of themselves as dogs, dogs think they are people, cats behaving like dogs or people, and a lizard who thought she was a dog. There is something in my house that causes the animals to be super smart and need little to no training. Anyways they all know... towel means grooming, plus they understand that bath time is as difficult for me as it is for them, so I use a boar bristle brush, wooden combs, and powder to wash them. I also hate washing them during the winter even though I live in Florida, drop of temperature is bad on anyone so I prefer the no-shampoo method of brush out the knots and redistribute their natural oils while use the comb to remove the dirt, dander and other stuff. Took me a long time to figure out what works on me works on these thick coated breeds too. 🥰 Chow-chows are really clean breed and if brushed daily with boar bristle brush they never stink or feel oily or nothing. They go longer without bathing than most other breeds. I love them!!!! They are actually low maintenance once you get a brushing routine. BTW, powder cleaning your dog would help reduce mates due to lowering the friction between collars and harnesses and the coat. Just a little tip bit out there. Powder such as corn starch, helps to reduce static and friction thus avoids the tangles and mats. I hope this helps others. Rice powder is also good. Best wishes to chow chow lovers.
Thank you so much for this, we're entering our Vera into her first ever show this month and will have to give her a groom at home ourselves for it as our groomer doesn't have space; we keep up with brushing her but really great to get some tips on trimming!! Ambrosia is so beautiful!
A good and consistent brushing routine can help prevent hot spots and skin issues by removing trapped hair and allowing better air circulation to their skin. x
I have a 1 and a half year old chow and cannot find a groomer. Planning to do it myself, but she is a very nervous girl. How can I get her used to this? I do brush her lots, keeping away the "horns" behind the ears. I just want to be able to trim her a bit for tidying. She does not like her paws held, especially the back ones. Your girl is so behaved!
I never cut the beard of the Chow Chow, I consider it the property of this breed of dogs. In general, it is very important to blow them out, it makes it very easy for you and the dog to comb out and get rid of unnecessary, shed hair
hi I was wondering if you could help , my chowchow had to be shaved to the skin on her back legs both sides by my vet for an X-ray , since then when hair regrows she rips it out , she has no allergies and her skin is healthy , what can I do to help the hair grow back without her hair being ruined even more by her she is 1 xx
