CHOW FIGHTING
What Causes Most Fights
If more than one tries to be the alpha.
Breeding season causes females to act dominate towards other females.
Sometimes necessary to keep bitches separated until hormones have returned to
normal. They could be moody and tend to fight during some parts of pregnancy as
well.
Breeding season with non neutered males or males neutered not at a young
enough age. Males that were getting along may not during the next few weeks and
probably will fight over the female and will have a pee-a-thon during this time
and may even urinate in the house during the female's heat cycle. Even fully
house broken males likely would do this.
Chows tend to be a jealous dog. (attention, food, etc..) I recommend learning
potential warning signs and expressions. Also it is a good idea to feed them
away from each other and not put their dishes to close together. It is however
unusual for a male to attack a female, but not unheard of. Chows usually hold
grudges. Once they have an issue with another dog/chow they may never really be
the same towards each other.
Give all your dogs equal attention.
