Hello, I am looking to adopt or buy a chow chow. While I have the means to care for a dog I would prefer to buy a puppy for under $600 but I am flexible. I would rather spend my money on training, food and toys then on a pedigree. Petsmart must love me they take alot of my money... >< I am currently living in Mt View CA. I am in an apartment that allows dogs and cats. The only way I would ever give up an animal was if I was dead and in that case my family would care for them. My pets also eat better then me most the time with a balanced diet, fast food often lures me in! XD I am also informed about the breed and know training and socializing is important. I am looking for someone who has puppies to adopt or a reputable breeder. I don't care about showing just that the dogs from a breeder are mentally and physically healthy and that there is not inbreeding. If anyone has any information on puppies for sale or adoption near Mt. View CA (This is in the bay area and I would be more then willing to travel to San Fran) I would be most grateful. My history is: I had two chows till they died of old age at age 13 and 16. (Which if you know chows is pretty damn good!) I had a golden male and a black female that were as gentle as lambs to me and my sister and would have rather chewed there own paws off then hurt us. It killed me inside when we had to put them to sleep. But I am now ready and would love to bring another chow into my home. I currently have two cats who are both over 16lbs (and not overweight fear the Maine Coon FEAR THEM!! XD) and so I would need to get a puppy that can be socialized to accept the cats or a dog who is already used to cats. My previous female loved our cats and would lick and sleep with them, I think she thought they were her puppies. Since the chows died I have only had cats but know about the breed and I work at home so I have plenty of time to train and socialize pets. My current project is getting my cats to walk on leashes but they are practicing passive resistance. Most of all I want another friend I can care for and love. I should have mentioned as cookie suggested that I have already tried the AKC website and that the closest breeder it lists is in Hodgenville, KY which is to far away. Also you should be able to buy a AKC registered puppy for under 1k and I am willing to accept color but not genetic flaws. Some puppies are born with spotted tongues, which can not be shown but are still good dogs. I just want a healthy puppy. My cousin bought registered dogs for $500 so even if they are from a breeder they shouldn't cost a fortune.... Read More »
