NOw that IS ONE CUTE DOG. Looks like a little bear. Can I take him home?!?!?!?!?

Im looking for a reputable Chow breeders in Ottawa. Does anybody have any suggestions? Where did Madoxx come from? Thanks!

Thank you for the compliment Shane!
There are only 3 reputable breeders in Ontario and Quebec that I researched. Depends also if you are looking for Show or Companion. Maddoxx is 100% Companion but is pretty much show quality. Maddoxx comes from La bande a Kiwi: http://www.labandeakiwi.com/index_en.html . Tell them Maddoxx sent ya!

Thanks Lucannus; very much appreciated.

Looking for a companion, but want to ensure healthy parents, environment, etc… particularly with all the mills in the area. I will definitely be checking them out.

Im fairly new to the breed… have you run into any surprises? How much activity does he require? How is he with other animals and kids? Im hoping to dispell any myths about the breed that my girlfriend is nervous about…in my mind, it’s nothing that can’t be taken care of with good training and proper socialization. Thanks again!

Everyday is a new surprise with Maddoxx.. Yesterday we found out how much he likes to eat dirt. Oh joy. Activity: A good walk each day and Maddoxx is very content. The chow myths are just that myths, but they are based on the fact that the Chow chow is a very independent and dominant breed. This is not a breed that you can allow just to do what he wants. You must be prepared to train him and socialize him. Our niece at Christmas walked right up to him, grabbed him by the lips and buried her head in his mane (she is 2 years old). Other than look at me, maddoxx took this activity without reacting, when she went to climb on his back to ride him he hip checked her so she fell on her bottom and he walked away. We all fell over laughing. If you want LOTS more info feel free to email me. Lucannus @ Gmail.com

It’s great to hear that Maddoxx gets along with children, although I have none of my own, this was a concern of mine.

I’ve been in touch with La bande a Kiwi and I went to visit their kennel last week; they were very kind and of course remembered Maddoxx,I think he has become their internet posterpuppy.

I am happy to say I will have a Chow-Chow of my own at the end of April! Ill drop you a line to get some training and chow puppy tips, if it isn’t too much trouble. Thanks a million for playing 20 question with me.

Cheers

my husband and I have owned a Chow Chow (Bear) for 12 years and have just recently had to put him down(wow that hurts to write) I came across labandeakiwi.com and have made an appointement to meet with them Sunday June 14th we cannot see ourselves without a bear in our midst. We hope to get a rust colored and maybe in the Spring get a black female (not to breed)
I love the pictures and appreciate the comments and can’t wait to meet maddox’s relatives hopefully they are as cute as him.

I have a red chow chow – in Hammond. Are there any good dog parks in the east end where I can take him?

I live in the east end of Ottawa and I am looking for a great kennel that has experience in handling the temperament of a dominate chow.
