Bio: from PHS "Adopt a Dog" page:
"Who's that fluff ball?? Why it's me, Kiara, a fluffy 2 year old female Chow Chow. I know you want to just sink into my luscious coat. Isn't it something? So am I! I'm a sweet girl who loves to kiss. For those of you familiar with my breed, you'll know I have that distinctive blue-black tongue. That's just one of my many distinctions. I am a loyal dog with a calm independence. I need a house with a yard and exercise to maintain my girlish figure. I get along with other dogs and teens. I would love a chance to impress you with my dignity and charm, so why not stop by and ask for Kiara."
Forums Motto: Baby, I'm a Leo !
My namesake: By coincidence, I share the same name as My Guardian's Mother (Chiara).
Origin of name: Of Italian origin meaning "light."

Today we have confirmation that Kiara likes other dogs. On our morning walkies K and I happened upon a dog behind fenced yard. I noticed that she just wanted to play and sniff. So, an hour later Kiara
and I soldiered to San Bruno's version of a dog park. She played nicely in the first pen, then we went into a more active pen. At first she was a bit timid, then she started to chased and be chased (pant-pant). She had an absolute ball. Too bad we had to cut it short for Petco shopping.
So proud of my little girl- she passed Level I for Bully Breeds. Her daddy was there to mark the occasion with video and photos.
Think we're done with the PHS training programs. But we will continue to work on her many daunting commands "SPEAK" "GET IN THE HOUSE" "DON'T BARK" "FETCH (whatever)" etc.
She came a long way, but I think we BOTH got a good, solid training.
Kiara did something new yesterday. She started out the morning with her usual stroll 'round the backyard. But evidently she perceived some "wooly bully" behind the fence that she MUST attack.
She was then called back in the home - screaming and kicking of course. Then she did it - she took a running leap at the window to get into the yard again. Luckily it didn't break, but it shook the hell out of my husband. He came flailing his arm into the bedroom and said do something about this dog. so I did. We did a 10 minute training session to get her mind out the out-of-doors. Chows can get a bit obsessive at times and this was a perfect example. Hope her luck holds out.
