I want to make my dog( chow chow/ doberman) a professional, but i dont know how to. A lot of people have this mix breed and i want to go pro with the breed so it can be one of the many breeds of America.

Well, anyone with money can start a dog breed registry and call any mix of breeds they like a "new breed." Some people are registering their designer dogs (i.e. goldendoolde, puggle, etc.) with registries like that. That doesn't really give your "breed" any credentials though.
The AKC takes a long time to recognize a new breed and a single owner isn't going to have much luck convincing them. New breeds need to have breed standards regarding conformation, temperment, etc. You have to be able to breed 2 of these dogs together and get a litter of puppies that looks like the parents. This takes generations and generations to successfully complete.
Mutts ARE the #1 "breed" in America, so just be happy with what you've got! Dogs are great pets regardless of their registry.

If you don't know how to, don't try. You can create a genetic nightmare of a breed. I'm not saying this to be rude but to be honest. There are alot of breeds that are recognized by kennel clubs that have serious genetic problems because of how they became that breed. A great example is the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, they have a genetic disorder that causes what seems like their brain being eaten away as they age. There are plenty of great breeds already out there and even more mixed breeds in shelters that need homes before the are euthanized. Please don't contribute to this world wide problem. Enjoy yours, and if you want more, adopt from a shelter.

it will take generations and generations for that "breed" to be recognized by the AKC. Breeds have to have traits that are specific to the breed. Just breeding a doberman to a chow, you get variation in color, coat, tail, ears snout, body type. All of these traits will have to be consistent with the majority of the pups born. There will probably always be variation in color so that will probably be accepted, but you have to have pretty much a uniform group and be able to breed this uniformity before it will be recognized.

Your dog is a crossbreed, aka a mutt, aka a mongrel. They are not pedigree dogs and are never going to become kennel club registered breeds.
Please do not start to breed your dogs as a hobby like this- there are thousands of unwanted dogs in shelters desperate for homes. Breeding puppies adds to this problem of overpopulation and also leaves you with a load of dogs that you will struggle to find homes for. Breeding dogs costs money, you wouldn't make any profit selling mongrels anyway so I don't understand the desire to breed dogs.

What you have is already a breed if you think Designer dogs are a breed. Look up Designer dogs on the Internet you find hundreds of people selling mix breed dogs for large p[rices. Personally I think it is stupid and AKC with never recognize these so called designer dogs Sorry

Contact the AKC They are the ones who decide what breeds can be other than mixed. It also takes many years of professional breeding with the same results in body mass, color, markings,etc.

There are already enough chows, dobermans and their mixes in shelters and rescue -- take a trip up to the nearest animal shelter or a visit to petfinder.com.

no the breeds should never be mixed, but how long it takes is 3 generations of one breed.

the AKC will not register a mixed breed and that's all you have.
