Any dog can be trained to protect and guard. Even a Chihuahua can make an excellent deterrent, if a noisy alert is what's called for.
The Chow Chow breed is generally independent and aloof, watchful towards strangers, and territorial. These can be seen as positive attributes in a guard dog temperament. That said, training a Chow can be quite a challenge to train. The breed usually requires an experienced leader, and is not a breed for the first-time dog owner.
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

They do not have "mean" personalities. Like all dogs, they require proper training and good socialization, and with that are wonderful dogs. No dog is exactly alike, but Chows are incredibly loyal and generally bond to one person as their "favorite".
Chow Chow dogs can live to the average of 15 years, but with good genes and good veterinary care some Chow Chows can live longer.The average life expectancy for a healthy Chow Chow is 11-12 years
No breed of dog is good for people who are allergic to dog dander.
A chihuahua is like most dogs...takes time and patience to train them. I've found through my 7 year old chihuahua that she was quite easy to potty train...used a lot of positive reinforcement. When she peed where I wanted her to go, I gave her plenty of "good girls"...and at the age of 7 I still do that. Make it a happy and exciting experience for your puppy and they'll do whatever you want or need them to do. A chihuahua lives to please it's owner...they learn fairly quickly if given the right guidance.
Yes they are good with children, but have a tendency to make a chow nervous, therefore not a good candidate for homes with small children. They are usually a one family dog and would not be very good around other children in the neighborhood
It depends some of them are and some aren't
Yes, very good guard dogs. They have a strong guardian instinct and are loyal to their family.
Pitbulls are actually the 2nd nicest breed next to Labrador Retreiver. They nice dogs if raised right. I don't know much about Chow Mix's but i know a few and their great dogs.
Yes they can
