Golden Retrievers and Chow Chows are both common pet dogs. They are both very loyal to their owners and both are cute. But if you can only choose one, which is better to raise a Chow Chow or a Golden Retriever? This is a difficult choice. If I have to choose, I personally feel that it may be better to raise a golden retriever. Here’s why:

1. Golden Retrievers are smarter

Many people think that golden retrievers are very smart dogs. Facts have also proved that compared with other dog breeds, golden retrievers have a high-level IQ in terms of intelligence. Golden Retrievers can rank 4th in dog IQ rankings, which is a very good ranking.

 And when we talk about dog intelligence, we're talking about their ability to solve problems and how quickly they learn tricks. IQ is easily confused with trainability, which is the golden retriever's most advantageous characteristic, and a lovable dog is a combination of these two characteristics.

2. Golden Retrievers have greater affinity

The full name of Golden Retriever is "Golden Retriever". As the name suggests, it can accompany hunters on hunting, so it is energetic, smart, lively and friendly. Many guide dogs or nursing dogs are golden retrievers, because golden retrievers are more friendly and gentle to humans.

The Chow Chow is also very loyal to its owner, noble, dignified, smart and cautious. They look very honest and honest, and many people like the naive feeling of Chow Chows. At the same time, Chow Chows are smaller than golden retrievers, so they are relatively easier to raise.

3. Golden Retrievers are easier to train

Because Golden Retrievers are relatively smarter than Chow Chows, they learn and master skills faster than Chow Chows. At the same time, this kind of dog is very smart and likes children. Generally speaking, Golden Retrievers have better physical fitness and are less likely to get sick.

4. Golden Retrievers have a very sensitive sense of smell

The golden retriever’s nose has special abilities. The reason why Golden Retrievers have been deeply loved by people over the years is because of their excellent sense of smell, nature and the desire to use their sense of smell to discover and enjoy new and exciting smells. This is the ever-present characteristic of Golden Retrievers, no matter when walking or in In their fences, they are constantly alert to the smells around them.

At the same time, the Golden Retriever is a hunting dog, which also points out that the general nature of the Golden Retriever is to spend time looking for prey and bite the items it finds back with its mouth. And because it has a soft mouth, it usually does not bite prey or damage items. Some golden retrievers are happy to bite back the trophies, and it will bark excitedly. This will make many male friends who love hunting excited.

But golden retrievers are not perfect. For example, golden retrievers need a lot of activity after they become adults. At the same time, because they are large dogs,, if you don’t have enough space at home or you can’t take it out to play often, don’t choose a golden retriever easily. Compared with golden retrievers, Chow Chows are medium-sized dogs and are easier to raise.
