samoyeds

The Samoyed is a sociable, peaceful, and gentle dog. These powder puffs hail from Siberia, and were bred for hard work in cold environments. Commonly known as the "Sammy," these friendly pups love everyone and are great for families and children. They are easygoing, don't mind living in apartments (as long as there is air conditioning!), and are guaranteed to make friends with anyone they meet.

The Samoyed is a double-coated that will shed year-round. It is important to routinely brush their coat to reduce the appearance of shedding to reduce matting. Not only do they require regular brushing to keep their coat healthy but to keep it bright white. White coats can easily become dingy-looking if not properly maintained. While you never want to over-bathe your dog, it is ok to wash them every 6-8 weeks or when dirty and to use a shampoo specifically made for white-coated dogs.
