How do Samoyeds judge their age? Generally speaking, when looking at the teeth, Samoyeds begin to produce deciduous teeth after more than ten days of birth. After two months, the incisors, canines, and molars are gradually replaced by permanent teeth. The incisors are replaced at 2-4 months, the canines are replaced at 4-6 months, and the canine teeth are replaced at 8-6 months. The permanent teeth are replaced in 10 months, and it takes approximately one and a half years for all the Samoyed's teeth to grow fully and strong.

Look at your teeth

Newborn Samoyeds have no teeth. They begin to produce deciduous teeth after more than ten days. After two months, they begin to gradually replace their incisors, canines, and molars with permanent teeth. The incisors are replaced at 2-4 months, and the incisors are replaced at 4-4 months. The canine teeth are replaced in 6 months, and the permanent teeth are replaced in 8-10 months. It takes about one and a half years for all the teeth of a Samoyed to grow fully and strong.

After that, the Samoyed enters a normal diet, and its teeth will slowly wear out as they grow older. Generally, the cusp part of the lower incisors is smoothed around the age of 2; the cusp part of the upper incisors is smoothed off at the age of three; the upper and lower incisors begin to wear and become slightly beveled and yellow at the age of 4-5; the incisors start to become slightly inclined around the age of 6-8. The roots of the teeth are exposed and the canine teeth become yellow and wear the lips.

As the Samoyed gets older, the wear of the teeth will become more serious. This is similar to what happens to human teeth. Therefore, under normal circumstances, you can roughly judge the actual age of a Samoyed dog by looking at its teeth.

Look at the expression

This method of judging the age of a Samoyed is still relatively vague. To put it simply, the younger the Samoyed, the clearer and brighter his eyes are. For example, a Samoyed around 1 year old has an active expression, bright eyes and is active; a 2-4 year old Samoyed has a cheerful, enthusiastic personality and full of energy; when the Samoyed reaches 6 or 7 years old, it will still enter aging. Its facial expression will become slightly dull, its eyes will begin to become cloudy, and its response to stimuli will become slower. (Note that the older the dog, the more obvious this sluggishness and unwillingness to move will be)
