I groomed a Samoyed-Shadow last weekend. It brought me sleepless night as my muscle ache so badly that I have to take pain killer to make me to sleep. I spend about 4 hours to remove the under coat, shower, remove some ticks and blow dried the dog.Shadow has solid, muscular frame covered in a thick white double coat. Its broad, wedge-shaped head has a tapered muzzle and erect, triangular ears. Its eyes, lips and nose are black. Its strong neck leads down to a deep chest, short back and a well-plumed tail that curls over the back.
Samoyed can live as long as 16 years. Common health issues include hip problem, skin allergies and an eye problem. The Samoyed’s fluffy coat, which tends to shed heavily, does require some attention. Brush it daily and give it the occasional bath. The Samoyed needs a daily walk to stay healthy, but go easy on hot days: This dog is better suited for cooler climates. With a mostly gentle indoor manner, it will be perfectly happy in an apartment. They tend to bond with its master, but it loves everyone in the family—especially children. In fact, the Samoyed loves everyone it meets. For this reason, it might not make the best watchdog. Don’t leave this canine alone for too long: It might get bored and start to chew things.
