Maybe because there's some shred of truth to it? Nobody is insinuating that they are ALL "nasty" but from those in the know it was stated that you must know what you are doing with the breed before getting one.
Rotties and Pits share an equally notorious rep. but as people in here know, they do not deserve it. Chows, on the other hand, are a "horse" of a different color.

Those NOT in the know have no concept of what is being dealt with here. Chows are not little Mimis or Fifis. When one is allowed to get away with attacking people, and is not dealt with appropriately, there is no turning back. It will not get better. This dog has displayed behavior typical for 2 year old mutt Chow breeding.
I have not seen ONE post that shows even an IOTA of understanding of this situation. Not one other poster has had any experience dealing with a situation like this.......and has nothing to offer, but they sure can criticize.....based on NOTHING.
If the O.P. wrote that his/her two year old son keeps getting their 9mm and playing with it, and shooting at other people without warning, I wonder what all the politically correct posters would have to say????? This dog is exactly the same thing as a loaded gun, and equally as potentially dangerous.
THIS IS NOT A DOG THAT A CASUAL PET OWNER SHOULD HAVE AROUND. What part of that does not make sense????? No one is going to take the dog to re-home it. No trainer will get near a truly dangerous dog. So, other than some lame posts about taking it to a vet to see if it is in pain (that suggestion was HALF right, anyway...at least about taking it the vet.....only for a different reason).
So come on, folks. Let's hear some solid suggestions. Let's hear what this person can look forward to with this dog!!! Let's go, go, go!!!
