[edit] Pics of Puppy Colors

Some people who obviously don't know much about chow colors have posted pictures on this site that are mis-characterized. If people want to add proper photos, do so from this site (which is correct).

http://sachowchow.lamygale.net/puppies.htm

Those are good pictures of the various colors. The problem is though getting the website author's permission to use them on Wikipedia, plus most of the photos are watermarked/signed which I don't think would fly on Wikipedia for long once an admin sees them. If you can get a few photos from the author and get their consent to release them out in the public domain, then we could add as many as you'd like. --Brownings 18:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo choices

Here is another picture of the same tongue I just uploaded:

This looks better, but may be disgusting for some people - I don't know. If you like this better, then change the picture in the article. ebi 21:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Erg, you're right, this one is oddly disquieting. Elf | Talk 23:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

You can find a bunch of chow-tongues here: http://www.mosolyorszag.hu/david/chow/. They were taken by me and can be used anywhere.
Select a picture, upload it here, and change the picture of the tongue to that one, if you want to. ebi 13:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I like those that show them face on with the tongue out a bit (like the original one here or the one on your photo page); it looks more natural (like that's the view that most people will relate to). I don't know how other people feel about it-- Elf | Talk 16:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Latest edits/don't get along with dogs

I removed this: (don't get along with other dogs...) ", as well unless with a mixed breed of Chow Chows" because I'm not clear on whether it's saying that it does get along with Chows & with chow mixed breeds ? And also because I'm not sure from what I've read and heard that the breed of the dog makes any difference. Any references to cite for this? Elf | Talk 21:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
