Do Samoyeds get along with guinea pigs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All kinds of animals can get along together, even those which are natural prey-and-predators, or natural enemies; this can happen particularly where the animals have been together from an early age.

However it must be remembered that these instances, despite all the cute photographs we see, are the exception rather than the rule.

Domestic dogs and cats can co-exist happily with other pets and become quite friendly, but the need to hunt and chase, and to practice these skills, is present from the first in all predatory animals and many pet-owners have discovered that it takes only a tiny lapse of canine memory for their dog's best buddy, the family rabbit, to become a sad heap of fur and a regretted memory.

So if you keep dogs or cats as well as other animals which might be considered their prey, you'll be well advised to keep them apart. In any case, your pet guinea pig or rabbit or bird or rat, or even kitten, will need to be kept confined for its own safety, and it's best to be sure to do this at all times. If this isn't possible you might need to reconsider the wisdom of taking responsibility for keeping both a predator and its natural prey under the same roof, so to speak.

Some people like to try experimenting with introducing such animals to one another in the hope they'll become friends, but unfortunately one could go through quite a lot of guinea pigs before becoming certain it isn't going to work.

Bear in mind that no dog-owner with any sense would leave a dog alone even for a moment with a small child, no matter how well-behaved or well-trained the dog is. There are many, many tragic cases showing how dangerous this can be; it's best to keep in mind that dogs are predators and can react in ways which to us seem unpredictable, but which are perfectly normal. For a dog.

Is there a difference between an American eskimo and a samoyed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, there is a big difference. An American Eskimo Dog is similar to a Samoyed and different in many ways. One of the big ones is that an Eskie is much, much smaller in size than a Samoyed is. They do sort of look alike, though. I own a Samoyed myself, and they are completely different dogs.

Is a samoyed a good dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes they are. Though they are only slightly less intelligent than the German and Dutch Shepherds (being the smartest of the northern large breeds), they learn very quickly and are very hyperactive. Huskies are descended from Siberian working dogs and they feel happy and very useful to their owners when they are given a task such as pulling a crate and if you take the time with them, they can also make good rescue dogs. The one thing you should know is that a husky is a very curious type of breed and they like to observe everything around them and learn from you.

They are also very quick to pick up certain knowledges unwanted to most owners such as opening the fridge with their jaws and raiding the food, flicking on the lights at the wrong time (at night while you're sleeping), digging their ways out of backyards, and even turning the doorknobs with their jaws to escape when left alone for long periods of time. They can also be destructive too if they feel confined in the house.

Also, a husky is only intelligent based on its curiousity but this intelligent should not be misinterpret like that of a humans'. For example, one husky was locked in the cool basement of the house when the owners were fed up with the howlings at night and in the morning the owners discovered that the temperature in their house rose hotter than usual. The husky actually turned on the heat, knowing that the switch in the laundry room alters the temperature of the house, but it only knew based on its memory of seeing the owners flick the switch to change the temperature.

Asked by Wiki User

I know chihuahuas were bred to fight snakes in Mexico. Emperors loved them because they would keep their house free of snakes. Chihuahuas nowadays don't usually go head-to-head against many snakes, but I know that is their original enemy.

It sounds very much like she is becoming a Catholic, getting to know Jesus Christ by finding His Church where suffering, such as she experienced, can bring forth wonderful new life. well she probably really isn't nicer she prob. just acts that way around you or people she knows you talk to to try and make it seem shes better without you, and shes not all sad and mopey. She probably looks better to you, because when she knows she is going to see you she dresses up better to make you see what you lost! Something always looks better when you don't have it! And you're a jerk for knowing you treated her bad, and did it on purpose!

I don't think it's anything to do with religion.

She has just realized that her world isn't defined by the person that was treating her badly and she can be nice to people and they are nice in return. An the elimination of stress from a bad relationship improves the appearance of everyone.
