Shepherd Chow Mix

The Chow*GSD cross is quite popular I think, the famous psychologist and biologist Kondrad Lorenz bred these dogs for several generations. In the web you can find lots of these crosses, too.

What I have noticed with Merilyn is that he loves people and kids and I was told that chow's are not usually good around kids he is more shep then chow in his looks or so I think..

That's a common myth. Chows can make great family dogs. Growing up my family had two chows and they were just amazing and so sweet and gentle with me when I was a kid. I know that some can be a little protective of their family but they are very loyal and sweet dogs.

I think so too. My favourite breed, the Eurasier, has partly been bred from the chow and they are simply the best family dogs.

Well I know he feels like he owns the couch at times .. he will hit me if I am sitting there and he want's to stretch out.. he has the chow body and feet but looks shep.
