The Samoyed is a medium-to-large working dog, originally bred in Siberia for herding reindeer, pulling sleds, and guarding. This breed descends from ancient Arctic spitz-type dogs, resulting in an intelligent, strong, and highly affectionate companion.
- Origin: Siberia, developed for herding and sledding.
- Smart and trainable: Quick learner but can be independent.
- Loyal and affectionate: Forms deep bonds with its family.
- Energetic and playful: Requires daily exercise and mental stimulation.
- Thick, fluffy double coat: Weather-resistant but sheds heavily and needs regular grooming.
