Samoyed Dog (Detailed Introduction)

　　Those who raise male dogs all know that dogs usually lift one of their back legs when urinating. Perhaps you take it for granted and have not paid much attention, but if you think about it carefully, do you know why this is? Today we will answer this question for you.

　　The leg-lifting action, according to analysis from the dog’s living habits, has three reasons:

　　1. Dogs want to keep their scent as fresh and strong as possible, like a clearly visible signpost. Therefore, to avoid their scent being covered up, they do not urinate on flat ground but rather on vertical surfaces, so they need to lift their leg.

　　2. The leg-lifting posture allows them to urinate near the position of their nose, making it easier for themselves and other dogs to smell it.

　　3. The convenient position helps them distinguish their own scent from that of other dogs, knowing where they should avoid or approach.
