Both above posters has given great advice. My mother has a full blooded chow. She has been pretty laid back but will protect her space and her people. She's also alpha and won't accept crap from other dogs. She will kill them if they do not accept her. For this reason another half chow of theirs is separated from her other chow.

Like others said, they are a family dog and only loyal to that family. D.O.G. (mothers dog) is also a great seeing eye dog for my mother. She hasn't had real training, but she sensed one day that my mother couldn't see in the dark. Mom was running into things and D.O.G came up and put her head in my mothers hand. Ever since then mom calls D.O.G when she's in the dark and she'll lead my mother wherever she needs to go.

Remember all dogs have the capability to hurt people. But the right training and care will make a world of difference for them.
