Grooming & Exercise (click to expand)
Grooming
Due to their beautiful thick coats, Samoyeds require moderate and regular grooming. They shed seasonally and they should be brushed regularly, however their fur tends to stay white without regular bathing. Some people with allergies to dogs have reported that they were not bothered by the hair of the Samoyed but the dogs are NOT hypoallergenicExercise
Due to their size, and their history, Sammies do require regular walks. We do not recomment owning a Samoyed in an appartment, however a small house and/or a small backyard will do.Is a sammy right for you? (click to expand)

Breed History (click to expand)
Samoyeds are an ancient working breed thought to have originitated in Siberia. The name Samoyed comes from the name of the hunters and fishermen the dogs lived with. They used the dogs for pulling their sleds, herding reindeer and for companionship. They also slept with the dogs using them to keep warm through the frigid nights. The breed was eventually brought to England from where it expanded to the rest of the world. The breed was rcognized by the American Kennel Club in 1906.
