Snowstar Samoyeds-April 6, 2022
I would like to thank you all for your interest in a Snowstar puppy.
We have many existing Snowstar families looking to add a new puppy into their hearts and home and will always value their continued support.
With an extensive wait list dating back to 2021, I feel an obligation to contact those applicants (based on chronological date order) when we have litters (besides our Snowstar families).
As of today's date, April 6, 2022, no new applications will be accepted except for existing Snowstar families.
Thank you for your understanding and your patience.
Marg

Commitment To Your New Family Member
This a perfect time to remind everyone that your beautiful baby will grow (and they do grow very quickly).
You have committed to all the needs of this puppy, possibly, up 15+ years! Have a plan in case of …???
A call to parents of puppies!! 🐾🐕
On every Facebook group people have been looking for puppies for months and it won't stop...!
Demand is increasing...
For some you don't have time to wait for your puppy...
And then you read more posts like:
9 weeks - I can't sleep he's crying...
10 weeks - still peeing in the apartment...
12 weeks - bites us - damages furniture etc etc...
What's wrong? Haven't you thought about a puppy's commitment 🤔
Puppies are cute - that's not the question, but there are constraints to think about:
Puppies give work.
Puppies are exhausting.
Puppies need to go out every 2 hours see more for learning needs.9
Puppies need to get used to the new house.
Puppies still need to learn everything.
Puppies need you, reassurance.
And then once you finish the puppy phase, puberty comes.
This is getting much more exhausting again - because he's going to want to take his place and test you and it's going to take until he turns 3 sometimes constantly regaining the rules of education 🤷
Don't forget, the dog will always be here when you all want to go back on vacation and when your telework is done.
He wants to grow old with you, be part of your family and live with you.
He can't and won't stay 10 hours alone in the day, be locked in a cage...
And this is exactly what so many obviously don't realize.
Dogs are living beings. They have needs that need to be met that takes time, money and personal investment.
It's definitely worth it, but you have to be aware of it too 😉
That's why think!! A puppy shouldn't be a compulsive buy like a trinket or piece of furniture!
Dog life lasts up to 15 years (more or less) ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ ❣️
Read and copy, author unknown, but it touches.
That's it all said!!!!
