The Samoyed is one of the oldest breeds of spitz-like dogs. They are brave, energetic, hardy and very sociable pets. Signs of anger or cowardice in this case are considered a breed fault. Samoyed huskies are friendly even with strangers. They have a childlike and naive perception of the world, Samoyeds are happy to rush towards everything unknown. These dogs do not tend to start a fight, but can always stand up for themselves.

Samoyeds are characterized by uncommon intelligence and independent character. They are loyal protectors, good watchmen and affectionate friends. However, many dog breeders do not recommend using them as guards because of the friendly nature of Samoyed huskies. These pets like to be in society and are always enthusiastic about any company. The dogs adapt well in the city and get along well in an apartment, but owners need to take them for regular walks and give them a chance to release their energy. In the fresh air Samoyeds just love to play with their owners and their children. From active games dogs never get tired.

Hunting

Since ancient times Samoyed huskies have been used as hunting assistants. They were used to hunt walruses, bears and other large animals. To this day, some kennels specially train Samoyeds for hunting wild boars, bears, feathered game, wolves and fur-bearing animals.

Experienced hunters say that wild animals often let Samoyeds very close to them, which is an exceptional feature of these dogs.

Maintenance

The happiness of the samoyed lies in the communication with neighbors in the house. People who are often absent should not get such a dog. If the dog feels lonely, it can become overly anxious and misbehave, such as barking frequently for no reason or chewing on things. Even with regular socialization with the household, Samoyeds can be hyperactive. They become especially noisy in puppyhood, so for those looking for a quiet and calm dog, this is not the best choice. Samoyeds do not psychologically mature until they are two years old and remain energetic throughout their lives.

Intelligent and active, Samoyed Huskies are easy to train. But they are more suitable for experienced owners, as they can be too stubborn.

Samoyeds get along well with children, especially those who are older. These dogs were once shepherds, so they have strongly developed herding instincts. They can be overprotective of small children.

By the way

Friendly Samoyeds get along with pets just perfectly.

Care for the coat

Samoyeds have a rather thick coat, which needs proper care. It is desirable to comb it every day. During molting, it should be done even several times a day. For combing, use a special stiff brush.

The Samoyed should not be washed more than once a week.
