    Why Brush or Groom Your East Siberian Laika Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential component of general pet care. Brushing really helps to keep your East Siberian Laika dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a glossy coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore lessen the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your East Siberian Laika dog are activities that help to enhance the positive relationship bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your East Siberian Laika

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely on each personal dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats generally require less brushing and grooming contrasted to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

There are two major types, the Evenki and the Irkutsk; other less important types are the Yakutia, Amur and Tofolar. These types vary in color and physique, as the ESL is still more of a diverse conglomerate breed than the other three Russian Laika breeds. Physically the ESL is somewhat rangy, nearly square in proportion, slightly higher at the withers than at the croup, robust in bone; head shape varies with the regional varieties. Ears are erect and triangular, the tail carried in a curve over the back. The coat is a medium long double coat with straight coarse guard hair and a soft thick undercoat.

Highly aggressive towards large predators, they are calm and well-tempered with people, although they can be good watchdogs and if encouraged will be protective against human intruders. Generally, they seem to be good companion dogs and can also be trained in obedience.
