Who is the cuter,nicer and lovable pomeranian or chow chow?

Question

I wanted to buy a dog.I had chosen 2 breeds.And that is pomeranian and chow chow.When I think of the 2 I am confused which will I buy.They are both cute.But I dont know which is nicer.

Answer 1

Ok lets look at this differently.

You have chosen two very different sized dogs with different needs. So lets examine your life style before an answerer is given.

Larger dogs eat more, and need more room to roam in most cases.

Larger dogs can give a bit more protection if that is what you need.

Smaller dogs can fit in your lap easier.

This comparison could go on so lets make a list and have you continue the evaluation.

1. How much outside room do you have for your pet?
2. Do you travel allot and if so by what means?
3. Do you stay at hotels and wont to take your dog?
4. Do you plan on moving in the next 15 or so years?
5. If you do need to leave your dog what would your friends prefer?
6. How much time do you have for grooming? Or can you afford a groomer?
7. Can you afford the larger appetite of the larger dog?
8. What is your physical condition? (can you handle the large dog)

This list could also go on but these two lists should give you a good starting point to make your own choice.


Please spay or neuter your pet. (Big dogs cost more) 

Answer 2

I own a Chow and my parents own a Pomeranian. Although all dogs are different, I have read about both breeds somewhat extensively. So, aside from the obvious size difference in the breeds, I think you need to consider their personalities.

Pomeranians can be a little high-strung but they tend to be on the quieter side. Sure they "YAP" a bit at strangers. My dad's does a little dance and "YAPS" when she wants a treat. Other than that though, she is a very quiet dog. She accepts strangers and is even a little timid towards people she doesn't know. She is a lap dog and makes a great companion for older people, less active people, and/or someone who doesn't want to structure their entire life around their dog.

A Chow is a very different type of dog. They tend to be a "one person" type of dog. Which means if you spend the most time with your chow and if you feed him/her, she will be YOUR dog. My Chow watches me all the time. He adores me. Which sounds great but frankly it gets spooky. (He is watching me type this and whining because he wants petted.) Chows are not the best dog to be around strangers, they don't do well with small children or elderly, etc. - mainly because they bite people. Chows were bred initially as guard dogs. I have no doubt my Chow would defend my house from robbers to the point of death.

I can't tell you which dog is right for you, but, I can definitely tell you that you need to research Chows at lenght prior to getting one. They sure are cute but there are trade-offs. Good luck.

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Answer 4

I would choose the chow chow as Pomeranian's yap all the time chow chow's are loyal and protective so much some home owner's insurance won't cover them

Answer 5

WHOA! What very different breeds! and in my opinion, neither are the greatest, middle of the road dogs. I would have neither for common temperament issues.

I have been around dogs, dog shows, know many breeders of many breeds as friends, have been training dogs for over 40 years in various "dog sports" (exluding dog fighting ;-)

Chows....red flag. Very independent, very different dog, my friends who are vets cringe from them....can be very unpredictable and aggressive. Not a good choice unless one is a VERY good and experienced dog person/trainer.

Poms.....I see too many toy breeds that have what I call the "small dog syndrome"....rather a "the best defense is an offense" type of attitude...yappy, nippy little buggers. And I am thinking of several who are trained and out competing at agility trials!

I think you are erroneously choosing breeds by what they look like......fuzzy.

Much better to choose a breed through sound temperament, and trainability.

I inherited my Dad's chow when he died in January. He's absolutely gorgeous - but unpredictable, irritable and totally bonded to me now. And when a chow gets bonded, unless they've been carefully socialized, they don't want to share their human with anyone or any thing. I have to put him outside when company comes now. I can't go anywhere overnight because he freaks out in a crate. I can't board him because he might bite someone. I can't leave him loose in the yard because the toddler next door keeps putting his fingers through the fence - and Alec doesn't make allowances for age. Some friends tried to watch him one weekend for me. They ended up climbing over the fence. My sister has kept him for me. She basically sneaks in his food and water and has nothing else to do with him. This was Dad's 4th chow. The 1st was wonderful - but dropped dead at age 4 getting a rabies shot. The 2nd would have been ok, except one of my brother's dropped dead and Bubba saw the paramedics working on him and after that no man was able to get near Dad. Bubba stood between them. Bubba dropped dead the day Dad moved across town because he got so upset he ripped up the new house and then died of a heat stroke while Dad was getting another load of furniture. The 3rd one lasted till he was 5. That's when he attacked another one of my brothers for the sin of grabbing his halter to save a stray cat. He literally almost killed him as he ripped through arteries on both arms. They had him put down the next day. I've known some wonderful chows. But the good ones have all come from breeders who breed for temperament more than looks, and whose owners have worked with them from day 1 to make sure they accept everyone. Alec was rescued at 10 months of age. He didn't even know what grass was. He'd been a show dog but his tongue kept growing. Don't know which is better, a Pom or a Chow - but be very discerning if you get a chow. Get one from a reputable breeder and make sure you socialize socialize socialize.

Answer 7

I would say, get the Pomeranian! Chows are known to be very aggressive!

Answer 8

Go with chow chow, they are versatile and is much better than a pomeranian

Answer 9

Sad to say but both breeds have reputations for either being really well mannered and sweet, to being a nippy.

It will depend on a few factors. They include a good blood line, good training. Both require a lot of brushing and then combing to keep their coats from getting matted. They are high maintenance.

Of the two I would go for the Pom because it is smaller and has a smaller amount of hair.

Answer 10

Pomeranians are companion dogs. Chows are guardian dogs. They may not be as affectionate due to that.
