Chows are scared of children. My close friend lived in an apartment and there are a few children in the area. He seems to be really friendly with them, he loves to hug everyone. He isn't much for playing tug of war but he loves to chase his toys and tail. He hasn't realized yet that it belongs to him. He hates going to the vet in fact he doesn't like anyone who wheres scrubs, bad experience. He loves to wrestle and is very persistent. My close friend accidentally hit him pretty hard when we are wrestling because he likes to jump around and run really fast and its almost like he doesn't feel a thing. All in all hes been really good to me and easy to train and take care of. Definitely would recommend a chow to any first time dog owners because they are very friendly and loving they get along with just about everyone hes ever met. =)
