The Chabrador is a cross between the Chow Chow and the Labrador Retriever. As the Chow Chow is typically known for its independence, it is thought that the addition of the Labrador Retriever to the mix was intended to soften the breed's personality. Regardless of how many Labrador tendencies your Chabrador exhibits, care should be taken to ensure the Chow Chow's independent and sometimes difficult demeanor doesn't cause problems for themselves or their owners.
Socialization and obedience training should be undertaken from a very early age. Fully grown, your Chabrador can reach a height of between 18 to 24 inches at the shoulder, and weigh between 50 to 80 pounds. Like the Labrador Retriever, your Chabrador may have a tendency to overeat so make sure to provide proper portion sizes at mealtime to prevent excessive weight gain.
