Beautiful stunning white coat and big happy smile.&nbsp; Many folk are captivated by this beautiful dog but without appreciating its heritage, it can be a disaster waiting to happen.&nbsp; The Samoyed originates in Siberia with the nomadic Samoyede people.&nbsp; As with any nomadic group everything has to have a purpose and the Samoyed dog fulfilled a number of jobs for this people, herding, pulling, hunting, as a watch dog and also as a companion and hot water bottle in the chooms at night and of course the thick coats would be used to.&nbsp; Ever wondered how the expression a three dog night originated then this is it.&nbsp; The colder the night the more dogs required to keep folk warm.&nbsp; So the Samoyed developed into an independent intelligent medium sized dog with strong hunting and working ethic, a high pitched bark which would travel some distance and a strong vocal tradition, and affection for all mankind.&nbsp; The Samoyed in the UK still possesses that heritage and the traits which were valued then.&nbsp; If you are looking to take on a Samoyed then forget that past at your peril.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">So, the plus side to the Samoyed as a pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quick to learn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intelligent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Athletic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affectionate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beautiful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And the downside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Low boredom threshold \u2013 leading to destructive or vocal tendencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Without sufficient exercise it will be destructive or vocal or both<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A keen digger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A keen sofa hog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular thorough grooming to keep the coat looking good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">The samoyed\u2019s intelligence means that any partnership with one is exactly that a partnership it is up to you to convince the dog that it really is a good idea to do something.&nbsp; Given the strong will of the Samoyed this can be a negotiation and so they do not learn in the same way as other dogs such as labs and collies.&nbsp; But whatever, a firm and consistent stance is needed otherwise the Samoyed will rule the roost.&nbsp; The girls are probably the more independent of the sexes but the dogs do go through an awkward teenage stage between 1 and 2 which can be very challenging.&nbsp; People who go in to this with their eyes shut tend at this point to put the boys into rescue rather than work through it, which is a shame as once the boys come out the other side they are probably more obedient and affectionate than the girls in our experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Having a hobby you can do with your Samoyed is a good way of bonding and ensuring that their brain is well exercised as well as their body.&nbsp; You will see that the sams are capable of doing well in a number of spheres such as sledding, agility, obedience as well as showing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Within the sledding arena, this does not have to be with loads of dogs and a rig, you can exercise your sam and have fun and compete by either bikejoring (i.e. cycling with your dog attached to the bike in a harness) or join in canicross ( running with your dog in a harness).&nbsp; Also in the summer a number of folk also backpack with their dogs i.e. walking long distance with the dogs having their own backpack to carry water etc.&nbsp; Any of these provide a great outlet for the Samoyed and you will be sure to be stopped at a lot of places on route for folk to admire your lovely dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Samoyed.&nbsp;
