No, assuming chow is an A record pointing to the IP address, and not a 
CNAME record pointing to a different hostname/subdomain.

That's also assuming that chow is actually setup and defined, and there's 
no wildcard record for *.hound.com that would cause chow and anything else 
not explicitly defined to point to wherever the wildcard points.

Basically, if you have:

hound.com	IN	A	ServerB.ip.address
www.hound.com	IN	A	ServerC.ip.address
chow.hound.com	IN	A	ServerA.ip.address

Then no, changing either of the other two wouldn't affect chow.
