Chows can be rather territorial, but it really depends how you raise them. I've never had a problem with having my Yorkies around them. Chows sometimes get a bad rep but I say its all in how the dog is trained or not trained. If you spend time socializing the dog and have proper training, I don't think you'll have any trouble. The only trouble we had was when having two unaltered males together.
Potty training is so easy with them! We raised them as house dogs and also had several become outside dogs. Its so funny because my moms female still tries to crawl into my lap and she's probably 60lbs now.
Watch your furniture when teething! They can turn a wooden table corner into nothing but fibers. We actually started to use raw potatoes as chew toys... much better picking up chunks of potato off the floor instead of furniture.
As you can tell hair, hair and more hair! Definitely stay on top of the coat when shedding starts in the spring because it can mat fast!
