thinking of owning a chow chow?

dogs are just amazing creatures to me and they just fascinate me all the time. these creatures don't have to work for a living unlike other animals. Chickens should lay eggs. Pigs will soon be eaten as a lechon.. or ham perhaps?  Carabaos should help farmers to produce rice.. but dogs? naahh.. they just have to waggle their tails when you come home after a very tiring day at work. but what if your dog is almost the exact opposite of what you expect as a loving pet? 3 months ago my boyfriend and i went to Tiendesitas and fell in love with a very cute chow. right then and there, he bought the dog and we named him sherlock (yes. as in sherlock holmes). he was 2 months when we bought him. heres a picture of the day we got our shersher.
 
of course we didnt know anything about the dog except by the fact that he looks absolutely lovely, innocent and sort of looks like winnie the pooh :) how can you resist that look?.. later on we realized we're actually dealing with one of the most dangerous dogs in the world. of course pitbull is number one and rotweilers the second. Sherlock is now 5 months and i cant even begin to count the number of people he's already bitten. even people that feeds him. the only person he doesnt bite is my boyfriend. his groomer already has scars from his biting. if chows are badly bred, they can become agressive dogs. i guess it depends on how you raise your pet because some chows are absolutely nice..heres sherlocks at 4 months..


 cute isnt he? but we realized that sherlock needs an intervention or he'll grow up as a pain-in-the-butt type of dog. we enrolled him in a dog school at global city fort. its called pup culture. pup culture's services are grooming, dog training, baby sitiing and they also have a mini store. the concept is very cute and i enjoy going there because i see dogs playing inside their playpen. you can leave your dog there for hours if you have work and they'll take care of them, feed them and play with them. how i wish our sher sher will turn out as an obedient chow..  my fingers are crossed. help us pup culture!
