yes they are. Definitely great guard dogs but u need to train them well because chows can be very protective of their home and weiry of strangers or new people
Faith the mix breed dog is a lab/chow mix.
This isn't a question of breeds getting along. Any dog will get along with any other dog provided it's properly socialized. Unless properly socialized, the Chow Chow often will not get along well with other dogs.
Not rare I have one!
The scientific name for lab chow mix is typically "rodent chow" or "laboratory rodent diet." These diets are specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of laboratory rodents like mice and rats.
I had a chow-shephard mix. She lived for 12 years. She was the best dog ever!
A how lab mix puppy can reach 40-70 pounds depending on a variety of factors.
Like my dog who is a mastiff lab mix
A golden retriever lab would shed more than a Border Collie Lab mix. Both are very good dogs, but I think that a Golden Retriever Lab mix's are more the family type and very loyal.
There is no correct answer for this one. You could say somewhere between the lab and chow, but I've seen many mixes that looked like pure bread animals. Sometimes only an experienced person can really tell, and to be honest, a mixed breed can (sometimes) make a better pet (The breeders will hate me for that one). 30+ years with chow chows has taught me that Chows can be very hard headed and mean (protective) animals. Mixing with a lab can produce many good qualities. You can train a chow to fetch your neighbors dog a lot quicker than a ball.
I do. I adopted what i thought was a lab husky mix last year. She is beautiful. After being with her after a few days, I started to notice German Shepherd characteristics. So i thought she was a lab/GSD/Husky. But I just did a DNA test for her and it came back Boxer/GSD/Chow chow. I know chows are in the husky family but the boxer part was very surprising. Anyways. Shes a great dog, a great guard dog, and extremely sweet and friendly. Also very very agile and fast.
Yes. Keeshonds are in one of my books, they look kind-of like chow-shaped huskies and are very fluffy and apparantly very good family dogs.
it says 5- 12 years... i know of them living up to 15 though..
