If beauty is also a sin, then Samoyed has committed a heinous crime. In terms of appearance, Samoyed Baby can be said to be a well-deserved bully among dogs. Its medium-sized white hair, like cotton and clouds, makes people want to hug! Xiaobian bet that when you first see it, you will be tempted by it! As for whether it is good or not, you can look down:
White elves in the snowy area
Samoyed originated in the 17th century, and was named after Samoyed, a Siberian herding people. Its thick hair is to resist the cold climate in Siberia, and it is known as “the white elf in the snowy area” (it is said that Samoyed was originally yellow and black, and then it was gradually replaced by white). They were originally used by nomadic people to graze reindeer, and were once regarded as sled dogs, which are veritable working dogs. It was not until the end of 19th century that some fur traders transported Samoyed to America and Europe that more people paid attention to it.
The smiling angel will make you doubt life for minutes.
Among all modern dog breeds, Samoyed is one of the most primitive dog breeds. Its shape and appearance have not changed much after centuries, especially its unique Samoyed smile is still so charming. The American Dog Breeding Association (AKC) commented on it: “The holy and smiling angel embodies the loyal and optimistic Christian spirit in its face all year round.”
But such an angel is very thick in hair. When she changes her hair in spring and autumn, the whole family is like snow, and it will make you doubt life for a minute.
The timid and cured cute dog is a proper optimist.
Although Samoyed once guarded his family and livestock in the harsh world of ice and snow, in the end, Samoyed was widely spread among people as an excellent companion dog. It has a close relationship with its owner, and even sleeps with its owner to keep warm with each other, which can be said to be very cured. However, it is a very timid dog, with almost no provocative behavior. It is not only afraid of strangers, but also a little afraid of dogs older than it, so they are not aggressive enough to be guard dogs.
Samoyed may be a little difficult to train because of his average IQ, but he is an optimist by nature. As one of the “sleigh fools”, Samoyed is not very angry or depressed, and he is happy every time he sees him. However, Samoyed’s adult weight is generally around 30 kg -60 kg, and he needs to have enough living space to release his nature!
Under normal circumstances, Samoyed’s life span is generally 12-13 years. As I mentioned earlier, Samoyed’s body shape and appearance have not changed much for centuries. Although it retains its good character, it will also reduce its genetic diversity, so it is possible to bury some genetic diseases. Please pay attention to the following common genetic diseases in Samoyed.
Hereditary glomerular disease, for example, is a kind of nephropathy that may be inherited by Satsuma variety. It is a dominant genetic disease caused by allele defect on X chromosome, so it is more likely to occur in male Satsuma, also known as hereditary nephritis. Studies have shown that primary glomerular disease is the main cause of chronic renal failure in dogs. Chronic renal failure is usually irreversible and usually progressive, so the treatment of chronic renal failure can rarely improve renal function.
The unique clinical symptoms of chronic renal failure include weight loss, polydipsia/polyuria, poor physical condition, vomiting, refusal to eat, anemia, renal atrophy and so on. Although chronic renal failure is usually irreversible, timely detection of Sinovalley gene and early detection of correct treatment can control and reduce the severity of dog diseases.
In terms of eyes, Samoyed’s owner should also pay attention to the hereditary disease of Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA): this is the result of X chromosomal mutation, which usually causes progressive vision loss, and the first symptoms usually appear at 2-5 years old; However, due to the abnormal living environment of extreme day and night in the early Samoyeds in the snowy cold zone, their eyes became fragile, so the incidence of hereditary cataract in their eyes was also relatively high. In order to prevent it, you should avoid strong light when walking your dog.
