I started with 2 Samoyeds(now 4 years old). I adopted an elderly ill-treated Samoyed 2 years ago (now 13 years old). I recently had no choice but to adopt a brother and sister Samoyed (four years old) as they were in indescribably bad conditions.
They both have their medical problems which I am curing. Neither have ever seen a lead before which is currently making walking difficult. The girl is a sweetie, but her brother is a second Marley.
Despite reinforcing all fences he bludgeons his way out (but always comes back). If he is confined in a room he hacks away at the door. I am afraid he may even damage himself in his desperation to get out. He sometimes pees against the furniture and husband is becoming very anti. He is a sweet dog in his own way but I don't know how to stop him wrecking the house.
I wanted to have him sterilised but cannot until his heartworm is cured (he can't be sedated safely). The vet administered a "chemical sterilisation implant" which she says should last for 6 months but is showing no signs of slowing him down.
I don't know whether to have the dog adopted or the husband. Help!
