Hey, I don't own a chow but the young boy I babysit does and she is the sweetest girl. She is sooooo good with the kids and you know how kids can be, they are rough but she never bites doesn't even growl. They just got a kitten and she is great with it, she wouldn't harm a flea. I only know of one chow site if you would like to check it out http://www.cantonchows.com/ good luck :0) and if you can't keep it I hope that it finds a loving happy home.
