Samoyed Characteristics
The Samoyed is an ancient working dog breed, selected by nomadic tribes in Siberia to herd their reindeer, to pull sleds, to protect them and to keep them warm in the cold climate. Many Samoyeds still work today.
This is a sturdily built dog with log, thick white or cream coat and a characteristic “smile”.
The Samoyed can be stubborn at times, but they are always friendly, gentle, and devoted family dogs, who are also loved for their beautiful appearance and upbeat personalities.
They get along well with other dogs and pets they are raised with but they can be wary of strangers.
The Samoyed is happiest when he is part of family life and activities.
His loyalty and alertness make it a good watchdog.
This breed is active and playful and needs daily exercise. They are intelligent and generally easy to train.
