the CDC says that a chained dog is more likely to bite than an unchained dog.

Well no Sh*t sherlock, when you chain a dog you define it's territory, and force it to acknowledge it, come inside that circle, or approach it and you most likly will be bitten.

I make friends with a lot of dogs, I never mess with one that is chained up.

Never, never trust a chow.
And any dog large or small will bite if you do something stupid.

I have seen lots of dogs, friendly ones, ones you could pet,
play with, relate to,free or on a leash but chained up, you would not recognize them as the same dog.

Never, never trust a chow.

Oh, really??????

I've never met a chow I couldn't trust. Their owners can be a different story.

We (my wife and I) have a former stray Chow-and-Schipperke mix. She is wary of, but not aggressive, toward humans. She is aggressive with other dogs.

I agree, though, to be careful with Chows.

"Never, never trust a chow."

I had a Chow-Keeshound [sp?] mix. Sweetest dog I have ever seen.

BUT, he looked viscious and had shoulders that made it look like he could pull a 22-car railroad hookup. Barked like a pro wrestler and all-in-all, made a great pal.

Teddy passed on in 2000 at 17.

Got that right--never trust a chow.

[ladyinred]

I agree with you! What a surprise!

You can trust a Chow to Die for you--if he/she Loves you!!

Never,never trust a Chow. Words to live by. I learned the above truth the hard way many years ago. I even avoid any kind of eye-contact with these black tounged devils.

We have a 1/2 chow.. male and a female rottie. Both are obedience trained...and are the best family dogs ever. My hubby is the alpha male. :) They know their places. The rottie loves jobs..like entertaining us with numerous tricks we taught her.

My 1/2 chow did a little chomp at the calf of a guy running from the cops (through my backyard) a few years ago. LOL The cops were like, we're not putting this in the report. I shrugged and said "okay"..
