When we first adopted our Chow Chow, Coco, from the local animal shelter, our veterinarian cautioned us that Chows have a more aggressive nature than the toy fox terriers we shared our home with.

Now, almost 8 years later, Coco is still one of the best natured, sweet and loving dogs we have. She still acts like a puppy sometimes, dancing around and sneaking kisses whenever I bend down to play with her. She loves for me to comb her thick coat and thanks me by snuggling up to me and falling asleep.

The reputation Chow Chows have can prevent many of them from being purchased or adopted, especially from area shelters. I can only tell you from my own experience, that our Chow is not aggressive. She is a wonderful companion and beloved pet.

If you’re considering getting a Chow, do your homework and read up on the breed. A Chow could be the best friend you ever had.
