About the Samoyed
The Samoyed is a medium dog breed originating in Siberia. Adult dogs typically weigh 35 to 65 pounds and live 12 to 14 years. The breed is described as friendly, cold-tolerant, vocal, family-bonded.
Active cold-climate households committed to daily coat brushing. The breed thrives in winter. Hot climates, owners who can't commit to heavy coat care, or apartment dwellers (the vocalisation carries).
Adult Samoyeds need about 75 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 90 minutes. The coat is double-coated with very-high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
