For some reason, this video has sparked some sort of idiotic discussion about whether a dog has "pure" bloodlines. In addition, there are some extremely strong opinions being voiced which are not based in any form of reality. Due to puppy mills breeding dogs which ARE AKC registered, but which are NOT within breed standard, there are a number of REGISTERED CHOWS which are not up to the standard of the breed. FACT: This IS a registered Chow Chow. OPINION: Puppy Mills should be banned.

I grew up with chows, and this is not a purebred.

As I have said in numerous other comments, this chow came from a puppy mill. She had AKC papers, but was obviously substandard as far as quality. She passed away recently, and frankly the quality of her breeding was the least important thing in the world to me.

She was my best friend ever, and after 16 years of companionship, I could ask for nothing more.

This isn't a purebred chow anyway, you can easily tell it's a mixed breed.

Again, as I have said in several earlier comments, this chow had AKC papers, but was from a puppy mill.

Personally, I could care less what breed she was. She was my best friend for 16 years.

my chow looks somewhat like this one, but he's smaller and he has NEVER bit, growled, or shown any aggression at all towards people. this one is cute, too bad he's mean =(

[OfficerMarisa]

She is only mean to other animals. She is just fine with people. Most chows I have met/owned DO have a serious prey-drive. Since she has gotten older-- she is almost 14-- some of her interest in terrorizing other animals has diminished.

Thats not a chow, it has chow in it, but thats not a purebred dog.

you need to speak to a chow breeder, there not aggressive at all, its bad owners that make them that way, like any breed of dog, yes some are more aggressive then others but it all comes down to training and the owners. chows are not on the list of dogs to look out for, but like any sensible person you sould always used caution when approaching any strange dog.

@OfficerMarisa Its hilarious how people cant understand what you write. Honestly who cares if its purebred?

[kini1111]

pure or not pure race..we love our dogs and our chows....

what's the matter !

[AmberFaithChloe]

This dog probably IS a purebred Chow but just a badly bred one. Sorry for your loss by the way...In what way was he aggressive?

[IAMCOMINGFORYOUBITCH]

Yeah, I agree with you. It dosen`t matter the quality of breed she was, she was your best friend and she loved you unconditionally, and that`s all that matters.

[SEORGJSGE]

Well, she was still a beautiful dog. I'm sorry...I don't know why I wrote that that day. She is very close to being pure chow. I am sorry to hear about your loss...Last year I lost my ferret of 7 years. It broke my heart.
