THE COMPLETE CHOW CHOW DOG GUIDE: 500 Expert Answers & Facts
Your Definitive Compendium on the Blue-Black Tongued Aristocrat
The Imperial Lion-Dog: History, Heart, and Heredity - Fully Decoded
Thinking of getting a Chow Chow? Or already living with one and struggling with aloof behavior, coat matting, or the unfair aggressive stereotype? This is your ultimate, no-nonsense guide to understanding the true nature of this ancient and dignified breed-without myths, outdated dominance theories, or misleading advice.
The Chow Chow is one of the oldest dog breeds in the world, with a history spanning over 4,000 years. Once serving as temple guardians, imperial hunting dogs, and even sled pullers in ancient China, today's Chow retains the same independence, loyalty, and strong instincts. But without proper knowledge, issues like entropion, hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, bloat, and heatstroke can quickly overwhelm unprepared owners-leading to costly vet bills or serious behavioral problems.
This comprehensive guide delivers 500 clear, expert-backed answers covering everything you need to raise, train, and care for a Chow Chow the right way-from puppyhood to senior years.
Inside, you'll discover how to evaluate whether a Chow Chow fits your lifestyle, understand their unique temperament and bonding style, manage grooming and coat care properly, prevent common health issues, and train effectively using proven positive reinforcement methods. You'll also learn how to interpret their often misunderstood behavior, provide proper nutrition, prevent overheating, and avoid critical first-time owner mistakes.
Whether you're choosing between a rough or smooth coat, selecting a reputable breeder, or learning how to build trust with a strong-willed companion, this book equips you with practical tools and real-world insights.
A final word: The Chow Chow is not a Golden Retriever in a lion's coat. This is a primitive guardian breed-independent, intelligent, and deeply loyal. Earn their respect, and you'll gain a calm, devoted companion unlike any other.
