Seriously if u ask me, i would say no to all 3.... husky, malamute and chow chow need cool enviroment... so unless you have alot of cash lying around to pay the air cond bill, then its ok la... all i know about chow chow is they are quite prone to skin problems due to the fact that if its hot, they sweat alot and hence the skin problem.. as for huskies and malamutes, they need a very very firm hand to control them. and they would need a cool enviroment more then chow chows due to the fact that they have 2 layers of fur and this double layer of fur is made for harsh Alaskan weather which is very cold. i'm not sure if you have had dogs before, but mix-breeds and mongrels makes as good a pet/companion as pedigrees. If you think that having a pedigree is cool or of standard, then please do not get one. this is due to the fact that the cost of maintaining the dog would be more then the cost of buying the dog. just think of the cost for grooming, medicine (vitamins, heartworm med, medication for hip, etc etc), food, etc etc.. that would easily cost you a bomb every month. mix-breeds or mongrels do have a higher immune system to illness... and there are some with short fur that you dont even need to bring them out for grooming. but then they still should be fed with proper and good kibbles instead of rice or leftover human food.. anyway, it is up to you to decide... A dog is a man's most loyal friend.
