I take Molly to a groomer for a puppy cut. Love the breed of dog, just not crazy about all that hair. The groomer I take Molly to has us drop her off at 7:30 and pick her up before noon - that is if I can get her to let Molly go and catch Molly to get her out of there. They love one another!

As for the debate on chows and pits, I think it has a lot to do with the owners. If you raise your dog to be a loving (and loved) pet, they tend to react differently than if you raise it with indifference and aggression.
