Topic Dog Boards / Behaviour / Who says Chows don't have good recall???

OMG my 2 chows just forced their way through the hedge and into the neighbours garden which isn't fenced :eek: I couldn't even see a hole there!!
Luckily the only screams in the neighbourhood were my own :) and after about 10 such screams the little s*ds came back.

Have just spent ages getting scratched and stung to death trying to fix sheep wire to the nasty hedge with cable ties. Think I've done a good job.

I soooo could have murdered them but they came back!! so I couldn't!!

Well, heart is slowly starting to return to proper place in chest cavity and beat is slowing down, wish I had some chockie :(

Might of been the way you wrote it!! Glad you got them back though! Good doggis (eventually!)

I'm so relieved they came back. 

They are lovely natured teddy bears but do like to chase cats so I was horrified that they got out.

When I think of all the times I've called them in from the garden and they haven't 'heard me' :-D

There gonna regret it later though as both have bad hips and elbows and are gonna be very sore and stiff after the effort of forcing themselves through.

LOL Sounds like a real adventure!
Glad they came back without giving you a heart attack lol I love Chows but they can be soooo cheeky !!! :)
- By lunamoona [gb] Date 09.10.08 12:23 UTC
Cheeky is right Rach85, most dogs would have come back with theit tails between their legs but these two had huge grins on their faces.

It was like, 'hey Mum, we got out!! We ran all over other peoples gardens!!! It was great, you should have been there!!'

Aww bless him :)

>  their new nickname is the terrible twosome lol!!


I must say the title of that movie 'Dumb and Dumber' sometimes comes to mind.  Baloo is the brains of the operation and Balto just goes along to make up numbers :-D

I live in a two down, three up terrace.  My garden is walled on three sides, with a fence between me and my neighbour on the fourth side and a gate leading to a shared ginnel which runs under the upper floors of the two houses.  A few weeks ago my stepdad was round doing some DIY for us.  He left the back gate unlatched.  My neighbour was in his front room with the back door open, sitting on the settee playing with his toddler son.  Suddenly a giant head appeared over the arm of the settee, saw Andy staring and disappeared again - Andy told me he nearly had a heart attack.  Ekko had been in the back garden and had seen the open gate, gone through the ginnel, Andy's partially open gate, his garden and the kitchen.  My husband came out to see where he was and saw him trot silently in from the ginnel and straight into our kitchen.
This is the first time in eleven years owning dogs in that house that they've got out of the garden.  I had always thought it totally secure.  It gives you a funny feeling when you realise it might not be.
I'm sure the other two are conditioned not to go through the gate, in the same way that they don't try to go upstairs.  The front door got left open a few years ago (my fault this time, I must not have shut it to), and I came back five minutes later to find Spooky on the doorstep looking confused.  Ekko didn't look chastened at all - he'd enjoyed his voyage of discovery.

very true, I felt all the blood drain from my face to the point I was dizzy.  Couldn't bear it if something happened to them especially if it was my fault. I've been very lucky.
