Chows are the most aggressive
Had our Chow for 12 years. He was aggressive when dealing with other male dogs he didn’t know and protecting his home and family.
He was a sweetheart to all that knew him. He knew how to act when he was around my blind elderly Aunt or when the niece and nephews were visiting. I know dogs have a sense about certain people and he proved it until his last day.
We miss that big red boy like crazy.
Chows are definitely the most “mindless” protective breed, I agree.
But, I think the smaller breeds are kookier...and bossier. For no apparent reason, except they aren’t big.
Having taken in countless strays over the years (whatever wanders up in my yard) I’d take a Chow over a Chihuahua any day..
That being said..I’m a Lab Lover.
Utter rubbish!
But a great benefit to Chow owners who get to enjoy a most wonderfully good natured and protective dog while also having the benefit of a "guard dog" based on their reputation.
