Crap

Damn, sorry to hear that Todd.

I know it's a little late, but I just wanted to express my condolences.

Thanks for all the thoughts.

We adopted a one year old lab/chow this morning.

Still deciding on a name.

Balou, our 2 year old lab/golden is back to his old self after two weeks of moping.

Good luck with the lab/chow mix. Hope it works out for you. I'm not a fan of anything with chow. Just my experience is all.

 

[Gumby]

It looks like Riley has stuck.

 

[PhilC64]

Damian looks more appropriate.

yeah, chow's are usually a handfull.

For fun I went with my brother to the dog park today and grabbed baxter, just to see how he would do. He just walked around and layed on the ground. While the other 50 dogs ran and played. I wonder how he would do with the chow.

 

[Gumby]

He might not be a chow. He's got a curly furry tail, short ears and extra skin on his face. He has a small blue spot on his tongue.

He is not at all protective or dominating like a chow. He is smart as Hell and pretty active. He could care less about other dogs when he's on walks or when they pass by the house.

Sounds like and looks like he could have Shar pei instead of Chow.

Our Newf/Border Collie developed one. I agree it doesn't mean much.

My parents had a golden with a spot on it's tongue too.

 

[Gumby]

Could just as well be Lab/Mutt.

I've found it to be helpful in judging personality to have an idea of the breed, though.


Like you wouldn't want to breed a Ginger with anything.

Ok.....so I'm way behind the times on the WCLC


Sorry to hear about the sad event
Glad to hear you have a new member of the family

We had a shepered/chow mix, he wondered up one stormy night and never left for 9 years. I too was concerened about the chow in him, but he was the best dog we could ask for. He bonded with our female lab mix eight years his elder, and the grandkids could climb all over him and tug and pull his ears and tail all day. He even accepted the cat as a buddy. He never once showed any mean side or aggressiveness toward the kids or my mother-in-laws little dog. But he did look big and mean from the road,and would bark at any car that pulled into the drive.

So don't be too put off by the chow mix, get to know him and see where it ends up.
