Jestem zainteresowany — co powinienem wiedzieć?
Przygotuj się na Chow Chow.
Z dystansem, spokojny i fizycznie masywny. Chow oferuje lojalność bez ciągłego okazywania uczuć i potrzebuje starannej wczesnej socjalizacji.
Wszystko poniżej pochodzi z cech tej rasy w naszej bibliotece — czego będzie od Ciebie wymagać tydzień po tygodniu, w tym rzeczy, o których ludzie chcieliby wiedzieć wcześniej.
Czego ten pies będzie od Ciebie wymagał
Szczerze, tydzień po tygodniu.
Activity
Around an hour a day
Many dogs of this type settle far better in the house when the walking is regular rather than occasional. Build any distance up slowly, especially with a young or older dog.
Training
Takes a little persistence
Independent thinkers aren't being difficult — they simply need a better reason. Keep sessions short and worth their while.
Food
A substantial daily amount
Weigh meals rather than guessing, and count treats as food. My Dog can work out a starting portion once you know their weight.
Grooming
Frequent brushing
Coats like this mat if they're left. Getting a puppy used to being handled early makes the next fifteen years far easier.
Shedding
Sheds heavily, all year
Lower-shedding breeds are sometimes easier for people with allergies, but no dog is completely allergy-free and reactions vary from person to person.
Dental
Part of the weekly routine
Brushing a few times a week, started early, saves a great deal of money and discomfort later on.
Weight
Easy to overfeed
You should be able to feel the ribs easily without pressing. Weight creeps on slowly — a monthly note in My Dog catches it early.
Mental stimulation
A little variety is plenty
A sniffy walk, a chew and a bit of training is usually enough to keep this kind of dog settled.
Home
A flat can work with good walks
What matters most is the walking near your door and the hours you keep, not the number of rooms.
Time alone
Copes well with a normal working morning
There's no single maximum that fits every dog. Age, training and temperament all change the answer — and being alone is a skill you teach gradually.
Social life
Reserved with strangers
Early, calm, positive introductions to people, dogs, traffic and handling shape this more than the breed does.
Health to read up on
Typically lives 9–12 years
Every breed has conditions that appear more often than average. Ask a breeder which tests they do and why, or ask a rescue what's known. Your vet is the right person for anything specific.
Pieniądze
Ile zwykle kosztuje Chow Chow
€1,600–€2,800
Rocznie, gdy pies się już zadomowi — jedzenie, ubezpieczenie, rutynowa opieka weterynaryjna i pielęgnacja. Celowo szeroki przedział: ceny bardzo różnią się w zależności od kraju i miasta, i to nie jest wycena.
