Samoyed (Samoyed, Samoyed)

The ancient Samoyed tribe was always accompanied by strong and enduring animals. They guarded reindeer herds and helped hunt bears and walrus. These were Samoyed huskies, which we will talk about today.

A bit of history

Breed dogs Samoyed known to man for more than three thousand years. These beautiful and strong animals were indispensable helpers among the northern peoples - Laplanders, Nenets, who lived in northern Russia and in Siberia.

The samoyed dog breed, the photo of which you see in this article, has long lived with a man. These snow-white handsome participated practically in all polar expeditions, accompanied in distant campaigns. Today it is one of the rarest dogs in Russia.

Maintenance and care

These proud and independent animals are accustomed to living in nature. They will not be able to live in a cramped city apartment or a dog kennel. They need space and long walks, preferably with physical exertion.

Despite the luxurious fur coat, which distinguishes this breed of dogs, Samoyed is not afraid of heat, and has absolutely no specific smell. It is enough to regularly comb the animal's hair and wash the paws after the walk.

Once a year, Samoyed can be bathed using shampoo for white dogs for this purpose. This breed has a special coat that can self-clean.

Despite the fact that the dog is very active, it eats little. With proper and proper care, she lives up to 15 years.

Samoyed dog breed - price

Just want to warn you that to have such a pet is not a cheap pleasure. We say this so that you know that the price of 800 - 5000 rubles, which the merchants in bird markets call, should alert you.

The samoyed dog breed, the price of which varies depending on the puppy class, is conventionally divided into three categories:

1. "Pat" -class is animals with minor deviations from the standard. Breeders often call them "dog for the soul." Price - 10-25 thousand rubles.
2. "Breed" class. Such dogs are allowed to breeding. The price of puppies can vary from 25 to 35 thousand rubles.
3. "Show" class. Samoyeds from titled parents, puppies with great exhibition potential. Price 35 - 60 thousand rubles.

Choosing a puppy

If you decide to purchase this snow-white miracle, then go to the nursery. You should immediately decide how you see your pet. Do you want him to become the champion of the ring, or do you need a companion, a pet? Your choice and, of course, price will depend on it. In any case, the dog must be pedigree - this is a guarantee of its psychological and physical health.

First of all, pay attention to how adult animals and babies are kept. The room should be clean, dry, and have no strong smell. After seeing the puppy's parents, you can imagine what your pet will become when it grows up.

Important details

Each conscientious breeder will provide you with all the necessary documents for the animal, talk about possible hereditary diseases. It is important to know about all vaccinations made by the puppy and what needs to be done in the near future.

Choose the most active and mobile kid who plays with passion with his fellows.

Focus on his looks. A healthy samoyed puppy should have a small head, small eyes, almond-shaped, wide and short muzzle.

Puppy training

This is a great breed of dogs - Samoyed. Photos, the price of puppies from the best breeders and other information are often published in canine reference books and illustrated editions. There you can read that this dog, like all rather large animals, requires training and training from an early age.

It must be based on patience, understanding and, most importantly, on the love of an animal. Breed Samoyed belongs to the category from which nothing can be achieved by the use of physical force. This is a proud animal with a sense of self-worth. Once you hit a dog, you insult it, and you can never establish a relationship with it.

Try to use in training laws that are common in the pack of dogs. For example, in a flock, the eldest is the first to eat, therefore you should eat yourself and then feed your pet. The eldest must be the first to enter the dwelling. Do the same. First you enter the house, and then Samoyed. Senior in the pack does not allow youngs to get confused under their feet. If your pet sprawled in the middle of the room and makes it difficult to pass, show him a more suitable place. You can punish your naughty baby as follows: lift him by the scruff, slightly shake him, and press him to the floor. It is not painful at all, but offensive to the animal. So he will understand what he did wrong.

The Samoyed dog breed is developing very fast. By four months, the puppy is able to execute all commands. This breed is especially sensitive to the praise of the host. In an effort to achieve a tender word, the dog is ready to "move mountains." Monotonous commands, countless repetitions will not give such a result as an interesting game for a puppy.

Samoyeds have excellent health, and this is explained by the fact that this animal belongs to the "primitive" group. In other words, there was almost no breeding work with them. Therefore, they were able to preserve natural properties - performance, endurance, activity. The only disease that can threaten the Samoyed is joint dysplasia. And, of course, in the absence of proper vaccination of your pet, infectious diseases may lie in wait.

If you like active and strong dogs, with whom you can run and play with plenty, if you are looking for an attentive and kind friend who will never show aggression, and besides, it will always look spectacular, then Samoyed, or the Arctic Spitz, as his called, created for you. The snow-white, sparkling hair in the sun, smart dark eyes, and the characteristic "smile" on dark lips - he is such a charming dog with a slightly strange name.

The tribes used it as a sled and guard dog, for hunting walruses and bears. As babysitters for children, they always warmed their babies in the cold nights.

Care and maintenance

You can keep in the apartment, but the dog needs everyday walking and sports training. Better to keep in an open-air cage or in a private house with an open lawn or backyard. Not suitable content on the chain.

How to care for a pet with such a fluffy coat? It is recommended once a day to comb a dog with a special stiff brush. During molting, the undercoat is removed with a metal comb.

Once a year and before the show the dog is washed with a special unraveling shampoo. But soft and thick wool dries out for a long time. Therefore, after the procedure, it is dried with a hairdryer.

After each walk, you must inspect the paws of your pet. Samoyed loves to run and is curious, so often cuts pads. The damaged area is treated with hydrogen peroxide and smeared with fucorcin.

The dog is not afraid of drafts and low temperatures. Wool cover is better for animals that are kept outside. But the aviary should be fairly reliable, the dog makes the digging and easily jumps over high fences.

Samoyeds are not artificially bred and have high immunity. But before the year the puppy necessarily vaccinates against viral diseases: plague, enteritis, parainfluenza, hepatitis. By the year the active dog is vaccinated against rabies.

Samoyed has a predisposition to the following pathologies:

1. Eye diseases: cataract, retinal atrophy. Diseases develop on the background of non-treated conjunctivitis, appear in aged dogs. As a preventive measure, the eyes are treated once a week with an antiseptic or chamomile extract, and dirt and mucus are removed.

Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, the dog will learn to walk side by side, lie down and stand, will execute commands given by signs. It is important to combine training with sports activities. Riding breed needs to make a daily run, and the track with obstacles will cause the pet only joy. A light dog jumps over the highest barriers and keeps balance on a log well.

Information about the origin of the breed

Samoyed Laika is a dog that accompanied the Samoyed tribes living in Siberia and in northern Russia. Nomads used huskies as guard, hunting and sled dogs. They even served as nannies, warming the babies with their bodies in harsh climatic conditions.

According to the existing legend, a Samoyed dog is a white wolf tamed by nomads. The tamed predator got its name thanks to the snow-white color. When the dog was carrying a sledge, it seemed from the outside that they were moving independently on white snow. According to another version, the dog was named after the Nenets people of the Samoyeds.

Dogs of this breed lived next to the owners, slept with them, warming them with their own body. In 1889, the UK zoologist EK Scott lived for three months in the Samoyed tribe and met the likes there.

From the expedition, he brought with him a couple of representatives of the breed and began work on breeding. In the country, he created the nursery "Farmingham" and the Samoyed Laika fan club, which opened in 1909. At the same time, the first breed standard was adopted.
