Chow Chow was produced in China and has a history of more than 2,000 years. It was once very popular. Why are fewer and fewer people raising it now?
The most important thing is that it is a forbidden dog. Although the Chow Chow is not very aggressive in attacking people, it has been banned by the city because of its strong aggression. If you raise it secretly, you will not be able to apply for a dog license , and you will be fined if you are caught. So not many people dare to keep Chow Chow.
But in addition to being banned, it also has some other shortcomings that are not liked by people.
Stubborn
Chow Chow is relatively independent and stubborn. Relatively speaking, it is not very dependent on its owner and can even go for a walk on its own. It is also very difficult to train. It will resist anything it doesn't want to do, making it troublesome to raise.
Loves to snore
Chow Chow also snores when sleeping. For a light sleeper, it is a disaster scene. It is impossible to sleep with it, so many people do not want to keep it because of its snoring.
Chow loves to drool
Chow Chow may be particularly prone to drooling due to its facial structure and loose skin. It is also nicknamed the "drool king". Moreover, it not only drools, but is also prone to bad breath. If you want to raise it, you should spend more time cleaning its mouth, and you can also buy it some teething snacks so that it can clean and remove bad breath on its own.
Body Odor
Chow Chow is not like VIP or Bichon Frize, which has a light body odor. Its body odor is relatively heavy, so many poop collectors cannot stand its body odor. If you want to raise it, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the Chow Chow's skin, facial folds, ears, paws, anus and other parts, and help it drain anal gland fluid regularly.
Chow Chow's intestinal digestion is not good, which can also cause body odor. The poop scraper can choose some dog food with high absorption rate for the Chow to help it digest.
Shedding
The Chow Chow sheds very easily, and its hair is often everywhere in the house, especially during the shedding season, which makes it difficult for the cat to clean up. Especially frequent bathing and overly salty food will also aggravate the hair loss of Chow Chow. Therefore, it is recommended that the dog owner should give it a bath once a week, and feed it high-quality dog food that is low in salt and oil.
