Samoyed breed info

Samoyeds are an ancient dog breed. They got their name from Samoyedic people that settled in down Siberia in the 19th century. The original purpose of these dogs was deer hunting. However, as the Samoyede people started to heard dears, Samoyeds became stock dogs with the task to protect and move animals. The American Kennel Club recognized Samoyed in 1906 as its 58th dog breed.

Today, Samoyeds are very popular family dogs. However, they are a few things to take into consideration before adopting a Samoyed puppy.

Size

The Samoyed is a large dog breed. Adult males range from 21 to 23.5 inches tall, while females range from 12 to 21 inches tall. Males will reach a weight between 45 and 65 pounds, and a female will weigh between 35 and 50 pounds.

Personality

Samoyeds are friendly, gentle, affectionate and sociable dogs. They love to be around people and are incredibly loyal to their owners.

Their energy levels are pretty high which is the reason why they love to be so active. They enjoy playing with their family and require daily exercise. If you enjoy long walks and snuggling with your canine, Samoyeds are the dogs for you.

Physical characteristics

Samoyeds were meant to be a working breed. That’s why they have a strong and muscular build.

Their coat is fluffy, thick and double coated. That will keep them warm even during the coldest winters.

They have a characteristic smile on their face which will steal the heart of anyone who sees it.

Grooming

Samoyeds shed like crazy! If you are going to buy a Samoyed puppy, buy a high quality vacuum as well.

They also require regular brushing of their coat. And don’t forget to clean their teeth and trim their nails as well.

Training

Training could be a bit more difficult because Samoyeds are not only highly intelligent, but stubborn and independent as well. That’s why they can be a bit difficult, to say the least.

They will pull on the leash notoriously, so you have to start the training early on while they are still at a smaller size.

Give them clear commands and a lot of love during the process, and you should be fine.

As they are so clever, they love to have some challenges and tasks to keep them busy during the day. Try to come up with new things for them to do so that they don’t get bored.

Health Concerns and Life Expectancy

Thankfully, Samoyeds are generally very healthy dogs. However, they can be prone to some genetic issues like hip dysplasia, eye problems or cardiac disorders.

You can expect your Samoyed to live between 12 and 14 years if you take the proper precautions for their health.
