Yup... It would be pretty rare for a German Shepard to turn on its owner. But A chow can snap like a pit bull. Not as persistent and deadly as a pit bull though. If this had been a pit bull then the lady would be in the morgue right now.
I’ve only been bitten three times in my life. One time was more of a snap instead of a bite. All three times were by German Shepards. Two of them were mine. One was a pup and bit me when he was three months old. All I did was walk behind him and his tail brushed my leg. He whipped around and grabbed my leg. He went back to the breeder ASAP. The other one was a two year old male that my husband got from a friend. He snapped at me, my husband, and my daughter. We gave him back. The third one belonged to a neighbor. I was walking and he ran from his yard to the road to bite me. I swatted him with my walking stick just as the owner called him back to the yard. I didn’t make a fuss about it because I love dogs but he was fenced after that.
No more GSD’s for us. They are the only dog I’m afraid of.
