Now let’s talk about the problems of Samoyeds themselves:
First of all, Samoyeds are called the three stupid sled dogs. As far as I know, they are not stupid, but disobedient, which is mainly reflected in going against you. There may be a series of situations such as destroying the house, and they will do it if you don’t let them do it. There are some people around me who raise Huskies and Alaskans. Except for those who are particularly well trained, other owners are crushed by the dogs to varying degrees, including but not limited to: the house is often a mess, the total value of the lost property is not low, they are dragged away when they go out, and they can’t let go, etc. If you want to train, you must be very patient, and have time and energy. Otherwise, it is best to send them to a professional training school, which can be solved with a few thousand dollars, and help them consolidate good habits after returning home.
Secondly, Samoyeds look good when they are clean, but it is difficult to maintain unless you have a lot of time, energy and money to keep them clean. I found a picture on Weibo that can compare the appearance of Samoyeds in black and white.
Please find out the price of bathing long-haired dogs in pet shops. It is about 150 yuan/time in our place. If you don’t bathe for a long time, it will be smelly, black and ugly. So suppose you bathe him once a month, 150×12=1800 yuan/year. So suppose you can bathe him at home and save this money. Doing so is risky and troublesome. Because long-haired dogs must be blown dry after bathing, otherwise they are easy to get dusty when wet, and their hair is easy to tangle, which may cause skin diseases and increase your expenses. So you need a high-power water blower, and then you can experience a life with snow all year round. So every time you bathe Samoyeds, it should include three stages: washing the dog, washing the bathroom, and washing yourself.
Finally, let’s imagine how Samoyeds’ hair will get dirty. Alaskans are notorious for having a bad stomach. If they eat something wrong, they will have diarrhea. If a Samoyed has diarrhea, then… Samoyeds cannot go out on rainy days. If they go out, they will get dirty… If they step on anything dirty… If they get wet when playing with other dogs… Then you go back to the second point.
In summary, raising a Samoyed is more tiring than raising other dogs. Because raising a dog requires responsibility for the dog, but the characteristics of a Samoyed will expand your scope of responsibility, hehe
