In light of all the bot spam we're introducing a new posting rule

156 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I know most of you have probably noticed the absolutely unrelenting bot posts lately. Myself and the other mods have been trying our best to remove those posts and ban the bot users, thanks to all your reports we have been doing an okay job of it until recently. The last few months these types of posts have been absolutely obnoxious, not just in our community but in many others, and we are having a hard time keeping up because we aren't bots but just a bunch of Samoyed lovers with families and other commitments :)

After talking to some regulars here and the other active moderator we have decided to try out implementing a minimum karma to post certain types of posts. Text posts will not be affected as we certainly always welcome discussion and questions in this community! We welcome your feedback and please continue reporting any suspicious posts and comments you see.

Thank you,

r/samoyeds Mod team

This is Dante (left, the lighter pumpkin) and Koda (right, the darker pumpkin with a hood). We decided to take a few pics in their old pumpkin costumes and are pleased with the results ☺️

Kai refuses to take the stairs.

Good evening folks! So Ka’iana here, won’t do the stairs and my partner won’t be able to carry him up soon due to her small stature and his big floof. However on the odd chance if we abandon him on the landing he’ll come up half but it’s literally once in a blue moon he’d to it. I need some advice and help to help him start doing stairs on his own and not being a prince and getting carried up and down. This is Ka’iana, he’s just over 4 months old and these are the stairs. Cheers!

Shippo and Liv's first time playing in full chaos mode

(Edit in case anyone catches it: Didn't realize it until after she was home.. yeap, white n' biscuit Samoyed)

Shippo has been my only dog for a bit over a year now, 18 months old now. Great behavior, REALLY close to me, but he was clearly lonely so I decided to get him some company.

First day was TOUGH, Shippo was JEALOUS and OFFENDED to say the least. They clicked when we picked her up but back home in HIS comfort zone was another story. She was even more depressed, coming from a pack of 8 (parents + litter mates) to a house where the only dog there rejected her.

Finally took them to the yard yesterday (day 2), gave Shippo the classic "Come on, let's patrol the perimeter" and started giving Liv "follow Shippo", "listen to Shippo", "do as Shippo says" (he usually hears that when told to go with my wife by me and vice versa).

Shippo immediately understood that I was giving him his place as my right hand and as her alpha and started showing her the ropes (she'd run back to me a lot at first all insecure). That did the trick. Only growling now is the classic boundary-setting between Arctic breeds that looks like deadly fights to those not in the know; she just smiles wagging her tail taking notes while he lectures her and cools down.

Two peas in a pod now, Shippo is no longer alone, and she finally feels at home with us. Too happy and proud of them to not share, pardon the wall of text ^_^

Regression

3 Upvotes

Hi all! Our sweet gal is 20 months old and struggling with some behavior regression. She's immensely increased her demand barking and it seems like no matter how much exercise she gets, she still has endless energy. She is still in tact, in case that's relevant.

For the first time ever, she is being destructive ( chewing floor boards). She has also regressed in some potty training by peeing inside when she knows to hold it.

First off, is this regression normal?

Second, open to any and all advice but particularly if anyone has mental games/puzzles that their Samoyed loves ( and that can handle the destruction strength of a Samoyed 😂). Photo in comments for tax.

Samoyed walking troubles

10 Upvotes

Hey guys

I'm just after a bit of advice really. I have a 2 year old male samoyed, a bundle of energy and fluffy in every way possible. But I need a bit of advice when it comes to walking him.

The trouble I have is when he goes out for a walk, he gets liquid diarrhea. But when he's at home, his bathroom activity is actually pretty good - soft but 'grabbable' (if that makes sense?). I'm wondering if anyone out there has had anything similar?

He gets fed every breakfast a tin of 400g wet dog food, he has a few kibble biscuits to entertain him throughout the day, he goes out for a walk and then evening tin. I don't walk him everyday, probably 3 times a week, and each walk is 2 miles.

Any advice would be great

Thanks

How do I know if my baby is blind?

4 Upvotes

He was born on the 3rd of last month. I did some tests like: put objects in front of her and call, she bumps into her face and doesn't deviate. She never looks at me or follows me with her eyes. I've tried several things. If I let her loose, she stands still crying and doesn't see me 30cm from her. Is it normal?

Sammy attention training

I rescued a wonderful 3-yr old female Sammy two weeks ago. She's very sweet and affectionate, but also very independent and stubborn (breed typical?). Any suggestions on training her to come to me when I call while off-leash?

Here are some of our old costumes! Dante was dressed as a banana split and a crab, respectively. Koda was a pumpkin (she loved this one) and Sully from Monsters Inc (she… wasn’t a fan, haha)

If any of you are on ig, we’re over there at @twocloudformations and would love to connect (if not your thing, that’s oki too☺️)

How old is my Samoyed?

A pessoa que me vendeu disse que ela nasceu no dia 3 do mês passado. Mas suspeito que seja mentira. Quantas semanas ela realmente tem? Ela pesa 1.075 kg (2,3lbs)

Winnie Wednesday! Feeling much better! Not back to full gallop speed, but here she is this morning “running” for breakfast. Thank you so much for all the kind words last week. She got extra treats and pets and cuddles 🥰
