Chow chows are a breed known for their guarding abilities, and their potential for aggressive behavior.
Having said that, not all chow chows are aggressive - in fact, chow chows are mostly amazing dogs even in a family setting. The nature of the chow chow is of extreme loyalty to their owner, but with an otherwise stand-offish nature, which in many cases is misconstrued as a sour temperament.
Many times chows are not actually naturally aggressive, but are simply owned by incompetent or green owners who do not raise, train, or handle the dogs correctly, resulting in bad behavior and aggressive displays. Chow chows require a dog owners knowledgeable in dog behavior that also take training seriously and understand the importance of consistency. They are not a dog suitable for just any owner.

∙ 12y agoNot all of them. I have a female chow and she has been around infants and small children since she was 8 weeks old. I made sure she was with them alot as a puppy and socialized her very well. so now when she sees any children in her mind she thinks" great there gonna play with me "It is harder if you get one thats never been around children then you just have to be very cautious. Chows are wonderful dogs if they have proper training and lots of socialization. I have had 3 of them in the past and loved them dearly til they passed away.

What is behavioral patterns for a shepherd chow mix?
Probably the most common behaviour would be food aggressive bud also a good family pet. chow shepherds tend to be very friendly to kids but still gets a little aggressive. They are very friendly towards other people and animals so it really depends on the gender of the bred parents. If the mom was a Shepherd then it would be a little kinder then a chow but still a little aggressive. If the mom is a chow, it would most likely have the behaviour of a chow. but it would look a little more like a shepherd. I actually owned a pure Chow and Loved her. She was Wonderful with Children. Chows were bred to protect, In China they were used to watch over Children. However they are loyal and Love their pack or family. Anyway, They tend to want to be Dominate However, if trained properly will be Great with other pets as well. I now own two Shepherd/Chow mix Dogs. They are Both Beautiful. They are Great with Children, Cats and Other Dogs. The Shepherd in them makes them a bit more high strung then a Chow. They are very smart and Love to Play. A bit suspicious of New people, but never aggressive. They should show signs of interest in new items. They need a lot of attention and will become bored if left alone for to long. So should be in a home were there is always someone there. They also Love to go for walks and rides in the Car. Every Animal is different and they all have their own personality. A Chow/Shepherd Mix is a Great Family Pet and seems to be easy to train.
