Is mix of PIT BULL and CHOW CHOW a dangerous mix or not? | |
SEADOG nli User ID: 662524 Canada 12/19/2009 03:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If, however, someone else walks him on a leash, he becomes the alpha dog and is very very aggressive and protective. In fact, dangerous. I would want nothing to do with a pit/chow cross. Combines the aggressiveness of the chow with the determination of a pit. Sure, all dogs can be moulded, but IMO this would be a poor starting point. |

Lord Ergo User ID: 790565 United States 12/19/2009 03:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i read that Pitbulls is a very instictive breed, and Chow Chow is pretty tough too. What kind of temperament would the mix of those breeds make, what do you think? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 466162That is a very dangerous mix. Neither dog is trustworthy, both are agressive. You are asking for big trouble like that. Personally, I would think to not let the two breed, and if they do anyway all you can do is hope they come out ok and not attack any kids... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 852410 United States 12/29/2009 04:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I currently own a pitbull/chow mix. My husband rescued her 3 years ago from a guy that used to beat her, and used her as a fighting dog. She has only ever been aggressive toward other dogs a few times, it was always over territory, but we were always able to control her. She is the sweetest, most loving, and at times timid, dog I have ever met. It just goes to show that not only are the owners part of the problem with dogs like these, but it varies between indiviual dogs. Don't just assume that because both breeds have bad reputations, a mix would immediatly be bad as well. |

I wouldn't let you, and I also wouldn't be able to get insurance. I'm sure you'll look really tough with your big bad dog though..... and hopefully it doesn't eat your kids or anyone else' for that matter. |

ILuvPits User ID: 870295 United States 01/20/2010 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No disrespect but people really need to educate themselves about dogs. It's not the breed it is the owner and that is the truth. I have 2 daughters both were raised around nothing but pitbulls and they have never caused harm to them in anyway. Pitbulls really get a bad wrap, but in reality they are very loving and gentle dogs. Any dog has the potential to hurt people. It is up to the owner to control their dog. The only dogs I ever was bitten by were little lap dogs. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 858823 United States 01/21/2010 01:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree although all dogs have certain traits, its a lot to do with the owners. I have met the sweetest pitbulls, I have also had one try to attack me in the streets. One thing a lot of people fail to see are that dogs are pack animals. Your dog desires your love and wants to be with its pack all the time. I think the saddest day of my dogs life is when he figured out that he wasn't human. Oh had a homeless frind with a chow/pit mix was a god dog a little grumpy but he was from the streets. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 814550Ugh... pit bulls, like all dogs, are exactly as good as the owners are. Pit bulls actually have had human aggressive behavior bred out of the breed because they had to be handled for fighting. For this reason they are the most stolen breed... they aren't even recommended as guard dogs because of how friendly they are to strangers. All the sensationalist media stories you hear about pit bull attacks are usually about other dogs (sources have admitted to just throwing around the term pit bull because it makes more money) but is labeled as pit bull anyway. Pit bulls get a better temperement rating than golden retrievers. Back before this pit bull scare bullshit pit bulls were the 2nd most popular dog breed in the country and everybody had one. I have had pit bulls for 30 years and none of then have even growled at me... Ignorance like this really pisses me off. |

AC User ID: 749968 United States 01/22/2010 09:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A pit bull mix, you are freakin' nutso!!! I am surrounded by people who own dogs, leave them outside and don't take proper care of them. All of the dogs are nuts, but so are their OWNERS! The dogs bark 24/7 at nothing. I go to get my mail, dogs go nuts. I can't go in my front or back yard, dogs go nuts. It is also aggravating to all of my neigbhors whom do not allow their animals to traumatize people. I own cats, but am allowing the cottonmouth snakes to live in my yard, because of all of the crazy people who own wild dogs. Come in my yard, and step on a poisonous snake. If you own any dog, I don't care what breed, I hope you take care of it, and don't leave it outside day and night to traumatize your neighbors. I figure anyone trying to buy a pit bull, is an idiot, and should purchase a home burglary system, instead. AC |
sugspc User ID: 884702 United States 02/07/2010 10:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We have a 7 year old pit/shar pei mix. My husband has owned him since he was 8 weeks old. He is neutered. Crate trained. His ex wife babied him but when they got divorce she left. Now our pit mix has issues. He's great around the family. Very sweet and loving with us. But when another dog gets near our house he goes nuts! He has broken out of our back yard soo many times the neighbors are afraid of him. He's attacked several dogs in the neighborhood.(no blood but bad enough) He even busted through our front window at 3am because of a neighbors dog that got loose and in our yard. He's very bull headed. He listens when he wants to. Sometimes he will come other times not. He's growled at my husband when he didn't want to come inside the house or if it's too early in the morning to go outside. (guess he's not a morning dog) He's never been treated poorly. We can't walk him all the time because of his aggression. We have two other dogs (boxer and weimaraner) that are wonderful, trained and well behaved. We treat our pix/shar pei mix the exact same as the other two dogs. He's just sooo much more difficult to handle. He's unpredictable. Right now we are at a loss with him and are trying to find a pit rescue that could take him and reabilitate him. We have no idea what else we can do?? My husband and I will never get another pit/shar pei mix. |

not user User ID: 886567 United States 02/09/2010 12:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've known a pitbull/chow mix at a local animal shelter, took him for very long walks once a week for like a year. He's one of the greatest dogs I've ever known, he's wonderful with people (sporadically violent with dogs, no more so than your average dog). He has bitten, only after being at the shelter for months and months, and only when people have taken him for a short walk (he's not that high energy, but he really likes to spend time with people) and try to put him back in his cage. In that case, he's biting to pull the person back as they turn around (he does the same to the mesh door) and not simply being aggressive. I can go on and on about how great this dog is, he's wonderfully behaved, house-trained, intelligent, amazing with people, can run with an owner or walk with an owner (depending on what the owner wants), he's never aggressive (unless being put back into his cage), and would be wonderful with children. He's also the prettiest dog I've ever seen. Fur and built like a pitbull, but with subtle chow chow hints (like the tongue). I can't say that all pitbull/chowchow mixes are this way, but Bruno is, and I've talked to other pitbull/chowchow owners (well one other) and they said the same. |
