Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy

RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post By Megan (Guest Post) (01/05/2009) My fiance and I adopted our chow/retriever mix from the local shelter. They had 6 of them when we adopted ours! We live in Fort Worth, TX though. Check out an animal shelter near you and hopefully you'll get lucky! This is our chow/retriver. His name is Barack and he is 8 weeks old.

The entire neighborhood knows Rooster and they all bring their dogs big and small to play with him. He is so gentle and not at all aggressive. The vet calls him Golden Retarded lol because he has such an amazingly loving personality. I don't know where to find anyone who actually breeds them but this should be a mix that is pursued.

Does anyone make anything of that? She's a mix and female so I assume the smallness isn't that strange, but retrievers and chows are both larger dogs so I was just wondering! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post By Katherina (Guest Post) (12/17/2008) Lilly was a rescue dog that we got when a phone call was received saying she had been tied up behind a store beaten :\ Obviously we took her in and she's been a dream since! She is a great puppy, very loving and adventurous. Brilliant, too! She's definitely golden retriever, has a bit of chow in her, too. We think that's about it, so we've been calling her just a golden chow. As a puppy they thought she was a sheltie, haha! Anyways, best mix I've ever had, she's wonderful!

We are blessed to have him in our lives.

I got her from a shelter and she is the first puppy I have had in years, the last two dogs were about 2 or 3 when I got them from a shelter, they both passed on from old age, she is only 8 months old. Question for everyone, when I tell her to sit she will real quick, other times it is like "I know you're not talking to me so I am not doing it" I have tried treats, hand signals, voice, sometimes she will sit other times. The vet said she is a Golden/Chow mix, what is the best way to train her.

She was a golden and loved her so much. I don't want to get exactly the same breed because it just feels wrong to her memory, but I think guldens are one of the most gentle, intelligent, beautiful dogs, so I'd love a mix. If anyone has any golden/chow puppies in the Miami or Cleveland, Ohio area (where I'm originally from), please let me know.

Rocky is 7 weeks old today (12/3/08) and in the past week has been pretty much housebroken, and slept through the night last night! She loves to play with my grand children. Considering my grandson is 4 and grand daughter will be 3 tomorrow, she's very tolerant of them. We just need to get the nipping under control, but she's very bright, a fast learner and very, very adorable! Rocky's mom is 1/2 Golden Retriever and 1/2 Chow and dad 100% Chow. I've had Border Collies and Border Collie/Australian Shepherd, Cocker Spaniels, Great Dane and Husky mix (big dog that liked to run), but this is my first Retriever/Chow mix. So far, so good! I think she'll be a great friend and companion!

The rescue organization said he was a Golden/Shepherd mix, but our vet thinks he's Golden/Chow. He'll be 4 years old in February, and weighs 85 pounds. He's a handful (stubborn, opinionated, protective), but with professional training, he's become a wonderful part of our family. My friends all say I could sleep with our front door open, because Connor would NEVER let anyone hurt me!

I always thought he was a lab/chow mix, but now that I saw some of these pics I am sure. He is all black and looks very much like some of the furrier dogs on this sight. Thanks much for posting these pics. Just to let the ones know that have young mixes, he is a great dog. He also used to dig in the yard and chew on things, but he grew out of it. Many people state to me over and over that chows are mean dogs. He is the sweetest dog and would not harm anything. I have kids and he is great with them also. He also enjoys eating alot. lol Report Spam or Abuse RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post By Howie and Lori (Guest Post) (11/14/2008) This is our dog Sempai.

The Mom and Big Sister were very prone to digging. My solution for this: you should get a kennel. You know, a 10x10 chain-link "cage." You keep your doggie in it at night and when you're gone. And when you are able to be outside with it you let it out in yard for exercise etc. As far as bathrooming - pick up poops and put them in an out-of-the-way corner to indicate that's where you'd like dog to potty. It'll be fine for grass - it's like fertilizer and grass will be even greener there! As far as behavior - it looks like you absolutely MUST take this dog to Obedience Training asap! But the kennel will help - make sure he has a doghouse in there and straw for warmth. He will sometimes go potty in there - it comes with having a dog - scooping poop! Jesus' best Blessings!

He's now a rambunctious 1 year old who loves everyone (dogs, cats, rats, people, etc.) He is getting calmer as he gets older, and he is sometimes protective of me...he thinks that squirrels and people carrying paint cans are a threat. He's reached almost 60 lbs. now, but is still fairly small. He is very intelligent, and at 6 months already knew over 20 commands. I think he's mixed with chow, but I'm not sure.

She was almost 15 and her quality of life had deteriorated. She was a wonderful pet. Her downside was also her upside. Yes, she was aggressive with strangers, as Chows can be, but she was a superb watch dog/guardian and very meek with us. She was wonderful with family. Her behavior is not indicative of ALL chow mixes but ya never know. Yeah we miss her but after 15 years - that's our last doggie. Thanks again for the wonderful photos.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post By Liz L (Guest Post) (04/08/2008) I've had a chow and a chow lab mix. Chows are extremely intelligent and learn quickly, but can be willful. I had heard about people afraid of chows, but I never found them to be of any concern to children. In fact, you might even be concerned that they can be a little overly protective of family member and children who visit regularly. Unfortunately, my chow was never very playful, with me more any of the kids, but she never even snapped at them. She would just walk away from them. Chow lab mixes I have found act more like labs than chow. They are more friendly, active, and tiring than chows. Very importantly, chow lab mixes will be more willing than chows to play second fiddle. My alpha pet was a cat, ands she kept my lab mix in his place. My lab mix maxed out at 72 lbs. But they don't all get that big, and he might not have been a golden chow mix, but he was definately lab. One of the most important things that I made sure that my dogs learned was to be able to tolarate being petted while they are eating. (I taught it to my cats too) You have teach this when they are still young. I find that children always seem drawn to pet animals while they are eating. Once animals realize that the child is not trying to harm them or take their food, they'll learn to ignore it. But its important that adults teach this to the animal first, or someone may get hurt. Good luck with your new pet!

For weeks we couldn't find the owner...and we didn't need another dog. But after he was here a bit we couldn't let him go. He's a gentleman through and through. He's been the perfect "pup" for our older female lab cross. First we called him "Rover" which we converted later to a more formal "Grover". Although he looks like a "Goldy" his purple tongue gives him away.

THANKS Report Spam or Abuse RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post By amy allen (Guest Post) (03/25/2008) I am sitting here with tears in my eyes reading about all of your chow/golden mix dogs and how much you love them. I just got a puppy for my son from the pound and really wanted one with no chow in it because I heard they were difficult and I had one years ago that gave me lots of trouble. After getting to the vet, who told me Jezzy was Chow/probably golden and I needed to really sit on her, I was devastated and very upset. I was ready to take her back except she is sooooo smart and loving and easily trained...everything I could want. I don't see any of the traits people say are bad about a chow or chow mix. She is very attached to me and sits on command, rings a bell to go outside and comes on command...sits on my feet to sleep...and sleeps all night, no accidents in a crate. The vet led me to believe she would become a potential problem dog due to the chow in her. She only has black on roof of her mouth in the back. I didn't see it when I picked her up. Anyway, I decided to keep her. I just can't let her go but I was having bad feelings until I read all these stories and now I KNOW I made the right decision by just deciding to love her regardless. Thanks so much to everyone for writing these! (ps-she's only 10 weeks and already does all these obedience things! amazing!) Editor's Note: Our Maggie is a Chow mix and is a great dog. I've heard that Golden Retriever/Chows are a wonderful mix and everyone I've know with them loves them.

We have had her 6 days and are in love already! I am so scared she will become agressive with my children though....I have heard that all chows are mean..does anyone have more info for me??

When she sits by me, she always shits with her back to me facing out, to see who is coming at us. I find it strange, almost like a guardsmen would do, is this a personality trait of a chow?

Our Dustin is 10mos old and he is spoiled rotten. I'm so glad to see other dogs of his mix, they all share a lot of qualities. We adopted him from a shelter in NC, we now live in FL.

We rescued Granger from a Humane Society. They were about to euthanize him. I cannot imagine my life without him now. I know you can search for breeders for certain mixes. That's how my friends found their YorkiePoos and MaltiPoos. Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post By sweetasianpear (Guest Post) (02/20/2008) Here's my golden retiever chow mix. His name is Granger and he is such a sweetheart. He is totally mellow, unless you jiggle the leash and let him know that he's getting a walk; then he gets all riled up and jumps around. But he does shed a lot though. You can ask your groomer for that undercut that blows off all the fur, helps with shedding.

Hes a golden/chow mix, my husband adopted him when he was a pup, he came into my life 5 years ago when I met my hubby =o) I found 2 loves of my life in one day. This is such an amazing mix, hes so smart, loving, obedient,loyal, protective, cute, he's great with kids and other dogs, he took the best qualities from both breeds. Looking at all of your photos though, I notice most of our pups have different looks. I wonder if that has anything to which breed is the mom and dad. Buda looks more like the one posted by Tara, shes laying on the beach. Were looking to find another puppy in this mix, so if anyone knows were we can get one, please let me know.

Here he is playing in the snow looking for his tennis balls...his favorite. He is good with kids and very protective of his family/territory. He looks mean but is not...he loves belly rubs and is a very mellow dog. I would recommend getting this type of mix again, especially for kids.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post By confused in Ohio (Guest Post) (01/18/2008) Sounds like I should have gotten the golden/chow mix I saw at the shelter today. Her tongue didn't have any black on it though. My daughter was upset that I didn't bring her home, she was so friendly. They said she wasn't good on a leash, should that concern me?. Also I have little girl thats small for being 5, and another alpha type male dog at home, does anyone think these two dogs will fight or knock her down? I don't know if I should just pass on this breed, I want her to like my husband too, a lot of people are saying they don't like men. These dogs are beautiful and feel so fluffy. I just dont know what to do. Maybe it would be safer if my second dog was smaller. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post by Hannaid05 (5) | (01/16/2008) Profile | Contact Aww!

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Golden Retriever Chow Mix Puppy Post by Hannaid05 (5) | (01/12/2008) Profile | Contact I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever Chow mix named Ringo. I adoped him from Animal Rescue when he was 8 weeks old. He moved from Georgia to Minnesota with me and I dont have acurate pictures. His fur is much thicker now because he's older and because of the climate change. He is very good with kids and other animals. He does bark at strangers. He loves to be near all humans. He will lie on top of my feet sometimes or try to get in chairs with me. He thinks he is a lap dog but he is about 70 pounds. Ringo loves car rides and belly rubs. My dog also chews on his toes until they bleed sometimes. His is the first dog I've ever had on my own, but I love him so much. He is a great guy. The picture is him at 4-5 months. He is solid gold now and has way more fur.
