Snow-white and thick fur with an expressive fox face hides the good-natured and one of the most caring dogs in the world - the Samoyed dog. The Samoyed, or as it is also called the Samoyed Spitz, attracts the attention of people at any age, and it is simply impossible not to fall in love with the breed.
Breed characteristics
History of the Samoyed dog breed
Readers are interested in what is interesting about the Samoyed dog, why they called such a harmless and such attractive dog? The Samoyed dog gets its name from the group small peoples Far North of Russia. For the first time, the Samoyed dog was used by the peoples of the Samoyed group as a companion. The Enets, Nenets and other peoples from the Samoyed group by religion could not use dogs as sled dogs. But some tribes living on Novaya Zemlya used the breed in sleds. The second version of the origin of the name is associated with the snow-white color of the dog. A dog harnessed to a sleigh merges with the snow-white snow and it seems as if the sleigh is moving on its own. Hence the name - Samoyed.
The breed is similar in appearance to the white polar wolf and it is believed that the dog originated from a domesticated wild animal. Among nomadic tribes, the dog served as a shepherd for deer, helped to babysit small children, and warmed the owner on polar nights. Samoyeds have a well-developed freezing instinct. If you hug a dog, it will try not to move so as not to disturb the person’s sleep.
The dog's appearance was first registered in 1959. The breed was classified as sledding.
Features of the Samoyed Laika
The Samoyed is an elegant and confident dog. The dog loves to bark and is considered one of the most “talkative” breeds. Under the soft and thick snow-white wool hides a developed dog, medium size with good muscles and excellent endurance. At the same time, the dog has a gentle character and adores its owner.
The unusual face is remembered for its smile. The corners of the dog's mouth are slightly raised, and the eyes have a sly squint.
Samoyed Spitz can have a different head structure. Based on this characteristic, the breed is divided into three types:
- Bear type. The head is more round in shape, the ears are small round in shape, and the muzzle is short.
- Fox type. The head is light with a sharp and long muzzle, like a Spitz. The ears are pointed and set high.
- Wolf type. The skull is powerful, but the muzzle is more elongated than that of the bear type.
A dog of any type has an easy-going character and developed intelligence. The Samoyed will become a true friend for a person at any age.

Average life expectancy is 10 to 15 years. How long a dog will live depends on the way it is kept and fed.
Samoyed character
The characteristics of the breed are similar to the description of any sled breed: , . The capricious Samoyed has the following character traits:
- One of the most fun sled dogs. Just like a Spitz loves to play with a ball and any active games.
- A friendly dog will not rush at strangers and will gladly allow himself to be petted.
- The dog is attached to its owner, but from time to time it demonstrates its independence to him by running away from home or while walking, wandering is in its blood.
- The fluffy Northern Husky is easy to train and suitable for the beginning breeder. But from time to time the dog becomes stubborn, so the owner must be patient during training.
- Playfulness remains until old age.
- Accepts other animals in the house well, with cats and small dogs quickly become close friends, considering them their pack.
- The dog loves children; it was not for nothing that nomadic peoples left the dog as a nanny near the cradle. The pet is careful with a small child and will remain motionless while the baby is sleeping.
- An attentive breed and suitable for older people as a companion. The pet monitors the owner’s behavior and reacts to changes in the person’s mood.
- The dog reacts adequately to noise, clapping and other unexpected stimuli, and is suitable as a guide for a blind person.
One of the downsides is the dog's good-natured behavior. A Samoyed will never become a security guard or bodyguard. The breed, like any sled dog, does not know how to show aggression towards humans.
How to care for a pet with such fluffy fur? It is recommended to comb the dog once a day with a special stiff brush. During shedding, the undercoat is removed with a metal comb.
Once a year and before the show, the dog is washed with a special detangling shampoo. But soft and thick wool takes a long time to dry. Therefore, after the procedure, it is dried with a hairdryer.
After each walk, you need to inspect your pet's paws. The Samoyed loves to run and is curious, so it often cuts its pads. The damaged area is treated with hydrogen peroxide and lubricated with fucorcin.
The dog is not afraid of drafts and low temperatures. The coat is better in animals that are kept outside. But the enclosure must be quite reliable; the dog makes digs and easily jumps over high fences.
Health
Samoyed huskies are not artificially bred and have high immunity. But before one year, the puppy must be vaccinated against viral diseases: plague, enteritis, parainfluenza, hepatitis. By the year active dog vaccinated against rabies.
The Samoyed dog is predisposed to the following pathologies:
- Eye diseases: cataracts, retinal atrophy. The diseases develop against the background of untreated conjunctivitis and appear in older dogs. As a preventative measure, once a week the eyes are treated with an antiseptic or chamomile infusion to remove dirt and mucus.
- Endocrine diseases: diabetes, hypothyroidism. They develop more often in dogs fed natural food.
- Renal tissue dysplasia. Congenital pathology.
- Joint dysplasia is more common than in other breeds of the Far North. IN mild form the disease practically does not manifest itself, the dog has a slight lameness.
Before buying a puppy, you should ask what pathologies the pet’s parents and grandparents suffered from. If the parents had excellent health, but your grandmother has joint dysplasia, then your dog may well get the disease.
Samoyed dog training
Easy to train, a puppy up to a year old can be taught the most complex tricks and commands. The owner can independently teach him to follow commands: sit, ugh, come to me, walk.
After three months, the Samoyed is enrolled in OKD courses. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, the dog will learn to walk side by side, lie down and stand, and will follow commands given by signs. It is important to combine training with sports activities. The sledding breed needs a daily run, and the course with obstacles will only bring joy to your pet. The light dog jumps over the highest barriers and maintains good balance on a log.
If the puppy begins to be stubborn, do not insist on following the command. Punishments will also not bring the desired result. It’s better not to insist and replace the workout with a walk-rest or a game of ball. After some time, you need to return to training.
Samoyeds, like other sled dogs, are not allowed to participate in protective guard training. A dog of this breed will not learn guarding qualities.
Feeding
Good coat condition, and physical activity dogs depend on a properly selected diet. It is easier to feed with specialized foods: ABBA Premium Adult, ProNature Classic, Perfect Fit, Monge Dog Medium.

In the photo we managed to capture the traditional “Samoyed smile”, which makes the dog’s facial expression even more intelligent and cute. 
Puppies are more like plush toys. 
The Samoyed Laika, also called the Samoyed, the Arctic Spitz, is one of the oldest breeds that originated in Northern Russia and Siberia. Nature definitely did its best when creating this dog. The dog received a very impressive appearance and unique working qualities. Today they more often act as a family dog and do an excellent job at this job.
As already noted, the Samoyed dog is an ancient breed, named after the northern aborigines Samoyeds, who once lived in the regions of the Urals and Siberia. The Samoyeds were nomads, so they needed loyal and hardy helpers. The animals grazed livestock, took part in hunting, nursed children and pulled sleighs through deep snow; they were absolutely not afraid of frost.
The development of the breed outside the tribes began thanks to the fact that zoologist Ernst Kilburn-Scott drew attention to Samoyeds and, after another expedition to the North, brought several dogs to England. These individuals are still considered the founders of the Western Samoyed Laika breed.
Ernst Kilburn-Scott owned the first kennel of this breed, and he also became the founder of the world's first club. Also in 1909, an official standard was established.
It is worth noting that, despite the long history of the breed, the dogs have not changed much. They are distinguished by their developed intelligence, endurance and ability to carry out commands the first time.

Coat and color
Male Samoyed huskies have a chic collar, and males have longer, coarser hair. This is especially noticeable on hind legs and tail 
As for the colors, there are three of them: individuals with snow-white wool, white with sandy spots and cream. All pale, dirty, brownish tones of coat lead to disqualification.
Samoyed character
Representatives of this breed have lived side by side with humans for thousands of years, participating in many aspects of life. This made them friendly, gentle, compromising animals. The Samoyed is a wonderful family dog and sociable dog. They are playful and enthusiastic and communicate well with everyone - people and animals.
If something alarms them, they will speak up, but due to their friendliness and gullibility, purebred representatives do not make effective guards. Samoyeds do not like to be alone; they feel great with their family and participate in all events. These dogs require attention, so people who do not have free time should not have such a pet. If a dog is not properly exercised, it will become bored.
In addition, prolonged loneliness can lead to psychological problems animal, the disorder may manifest itself as excessive barking and chewing. Owners of Samoyed huskies will not encounter any particular problems in training their pet, since these animals are very smart and quick-witted. But there are individuals that are distinguished by their independent and stubborn character. Similar dogs Suitable only for experienced owners who know how to communicate with such dogs.
Samoyeds are found mutual language with children, but their assertiveness is not suitable for toddlers. They can also be kept with other pets, however, they may regard small animals as prey. If you need a quiet, calm pet, then the Samoyed dog is not your option. They are noisy, active, and need intense training and constant contact. Samoyed puppies are extremely rowdy, and their mischief continues until at least 2 years of age.
Education and training of the Samoyed
It may seem that Samoyeds already have the foundations of correct behavior, but this is only partly true. Existing skills require adjustment and consolidation. Training should begin from the age of 3 months, however, education begins from the first days of the pet’s appearance in the house.
Important to use various methods– forcing the pet to take action and rewarding correctly completed tasks. Moreover, it is important to ensure that the puppy carries out one command 3-4 times, without shirking, otherwise one-time disobedience will develop into systematic disobedience. Owners are advised to avoid physical impact, as this can significantly damage the pet’s self-esteem and dignity. 
In training, the method “ wolf pack“- the owner takes a leading position. This principle must be supported in all aspects, including feeding the pet after all family members have eaten. The owner is the first to cross the threshold of the house, and only after him is the dog. To four-legged friend out of the way, it is important to provide him with a personal place.
Care and maintenance of the Samoyed dog
Samoyeds are versatile - they get along well in a house or apartment and are great for outdoor living. They are not afraid of heat and frost. But a street pet will need an enclosure, a booth with bedding. Already purchasing a dog, the owner must determine whether it will be just a house friend or a show star. Naturally, caring for a show-class dog will be more difficult.
As for the domestic dog, the pet should be groomed once every 6-12 months, since the coat has the property of self-cleaning. . Dogs of this breed practically do not emit specific aromas. They shed depending on their gender - males once a year, females - twice. A thick coat requires the use of brushes or slickers, and during shedding, this will have to be done daily, especially if the dog lives in the house.
The ears need to be examined a couple of times a week and, if necessary, using cotton pads soaked in cleansing compounds. , when necessary, and long hair around the fingers must be cut off.
Because Samoyed huskies have long been used as working dogs, they still require intense exercise. It is recommended to walk them 2 times a day, and these should be active walks. Despite the fact that Samoyeds tolerate heat well, they should not be trained at this time; it is better to take them out in the morning and evening.
To brighten up your pet’s loneliness, you can offer him special devices - balls, toys, squeakers, etc. The Samoyed dog needs constant communication - this is one of the most important conditions in keeping a pet of this breed.
Feeding the Samoyed
When picking up a puppy from a breeder, you should initially feed it the same way it was fed before, so the new pet will have fewer reasons for stress, and it will adapt faster. It is worth consulting about further feeding of a dog of this breed.
Giving food by hand or placing it on the floor is not recommended. The puppy must eat from its own bowl, which is placed on a stand of appropriate height. This promotes the development of correct posture and eliminates the curvature of the limbs. As your pet grows, the bowl should rise.
The meat is given boiled or raw - previously scalded with boiling water. It is cut into small pieces, but experts do not recommend feeding your pet minced meat. In addition to meat, your dog’s menu can include well-cooked offal. They are rich in protein and beneficial microelements.
Puppies should definitely be given cottage cheese, as the calcium it contains contributes to the full growth of the baby. This microelement can be purchased at a pharmacy or added powder from eggshells into food. Dogs must also be treated to dairy and fermented milk products. Only babies are fed milk; teenage puppies and adult dogs are given kefir, fermented baked milk, yogurt, Varenets, and yogurt without additives.
Eggs are included in the diet in boiled form, but they should be given no more than once a week. In addition to protein foods, animals need to eat carbohydrate products. These include cereals (rice, buckwheat, oatmeal) cooked in meat, vegetable broth or water. Salt should not be added and legumes should also be avoided.
Another useful component for excellent digestion - fiber. It is found in vegetables, which can be given raw or boiled. Not the most healthy vegetable is potato, as it contains a lot of starch.
The regime should be followed; the dog should get used to eating at the same time. Food should be given fresh and warm. If the dog does not eat the offered portion, eating only the most attractive, in his opinion, pieces, you need to remove the bowl and offer the pet a more modest portion at the next feeding.
You should not indulge your pet if he begs for food. Treats are used only as a reward for correctly completed tasks, and not to simply pamper the dog. Otherwise, a smart dog will become a “professional” beggar, or even get the hang of stealing “badly” food.
Each owner decides individually whether to feed a pet natural food or ready-made dry diets. Of course, the second option saves time, and dry food also contains useful material, but you should choose premium and super-premium products. Only then will the food be truly complete. In this case, you can diversify the diet with canned food of the same brand, and give your pet pieces of boiled meat or offal, fruit - apples and pears - as treats.
However, there are a number of products that are strictly prohibited to be given to animals; this list includes mushrooms, pickles, sweets, smoked meats, and sausages.
