"I made every mistake in the book with my
first Chow!"
Veteran TV producer
Robert Scheer admitted to making "every mistake in the book" with his
first Chow. "That's why I made this video -- so
other Chow owners could avoid the problems I suffered with," he
says.
Scheer interviewed some of the top Chow breeders in the USA and Canada,
and he convinced them to reveal their "insider secrets" about grooming,
training, selecting a Chow puppy, diseases, personality, and much
more.
The Number One Issue that kept coming up was OBEDIENCE -- how to get
