I had a Samoyed when I was little. She was so friendly, only barked when another dog or stranger came, and didn't cause trouble while we were at school/work. She stayed outside during the day. Her one vice was to bury bones in my mother's rose garden. My mother would get upset when she found a bone. After our dog died, my mother would cry each time she found a bone in her garden.

I’m so glad that you have your dog. I work in mental health, specifically neuropsychology with brain injuries at the present. Broadly speaking, I don’t think the benefit of dogs or animals in general has been acknowledged sufficiently in the medical field. They are great when people are struggling with dementia as well. In my personal situation, we have a rescue GSP that my husband went to pick up…and he got a call from his specialist waiting to board the plane that his cancer was back. This dog had been treated so poorly by humans, just like our first rescue GSP we had some years back. She bonded quickly with my husband and is the most amazing and intuitive dog who can always tell when he is not doing well. We had not expected for him to get very sick again within a month of getting her. She was by his side 24/7 despite, being a 3 year old high energy breed, until he ended up in hospital. It is going to be 5 years in February since we got her and she is a happy silly goof. There have been ups and downs for him but he is still alive and Kona has been his intrepid friend, always aware when he is starting to go downhill and always always right there beside him. They give so so much if you just show them kindness and love.

Sammys were bred to be cuddlers, they were a bit closer with their humans than most sled dogs, they would sleep with their humans to keep people warm, it's why they are so friendly.

My grandparents had a Samoyed when I was a kid. They named him Buttons, as when he was clean he was literally snow-white - when they lived in Michigan and the dog was out in the yard, he vanished against snow so well that only his eyes and nose were visible, and they looked like big buttons on a dog-shaped snowman. He was the floofiest cloud, as are all sammies...

[@vladimir_karpenko]

There is a funny theory about the origin of the breed's name. When a Samoyed sled is moving on the snow, it seems from a distance that it is moving on its own ( сами едут in Russian)

[@ErikBjornSmith]

It's amazing how quiet he's been, especially during the blow-drying.

[@thatjeff7550]

Yeah, he only started barking when she yipped at him to surprise him with the nail clipping. I think he decided it was okay after that.

The fact that his go-to defense is barking says awesome things about the owner, you can tell he is used to having his boundaries respected and doesn't feel the need to enforce them with a bite. There are several times where he kinda nips the air in your direction, but you can tell its very half-hearted and not actually trying to hurt you, just express his distaste for the grooming of his feet! Such a good boy!

Their undercoat brushings will spin up into a wonderful soft fluffy yarn, a bit like angora fibre from a rabbit. I'm a handspinner and a friend owns eleven (!) Samoyeds, she gave me half a bin bag of undercoat when her dogs were blowing their winter coat and I spun her up enough yarn for a hat and scarf. Funnily enough once you've washed it well Samoyed yarn doesn't smell of wet dog if you get it wet again, or at least I or other humans can't smell it. My cats could always tell if I showed them the Samoyed sample yarn though.

[@kuceracm]

Samoyed fur was actually designed that way. They were bred originally for several purposes....as a livestock (reindeer) and human guardian, as a companion animal....they were bred to literally lay across their humans to comfort them and keep them warm, and their fluffy soft hypoallergenic fur was not only designed to be comfortable to cuddle as the dog lays on you, but native tribes where Samoyeds originated actually harvested their fur to make blankets, socks, and clothing as well.

[@1kreature]

Don't forget that even though a Samoyed is a great running partner this only applies when it is cold enough. In warmer areas keep an eye out for excessive panting and try to focus on cooler times of the day. (There is pretty much no temperature that is too cold for a Samoyed.)

He got so dirty in the Spring, rolling in mud, playing in dirt, digging holes to Australia, etc. The groomer happened to be just a couple blocks from my house, so I would walk him home. Every time I walked him home from his yearly pro groom, at least one person (if not multiple people) would comment on how pretty my puppy was looking. They'd ask how old is he? 7 months? 9 months? He came out so white and fluffy, he really did look like a puppy again!

Samoyed’s were originally bred to herd reindeer for Laplander’s and Finn’s the Samoyed people live in the Arctic and used their dogs as herders for reindeer. Because they were so valuable to their families the dogs lived indoors with their families when not herding and would even share the family bed. So became much more domesticated then other arctic breeds such as Malamutes, Huskies and Siberian Huskies. They are very easy to train and tend to be much more docile then the others and are good with children. They tend to have very pleasant personalities and do basic obedience easily and well! Another fun fact is that their fur is considered to be Angora as long as it is pure white! So their fur is very valuable to weavers as the only other sources for Angora come from Angora rabbits and Angora goats!

I get the bad hands too (from baking and hand washing). I highly recommend getting some cotton gloves, filling them with aloe gel, and sleeping in them. This method has saved my hands time and again.

[@chimpurinkohimiru8920]

Try jojoba oil! It's a very nourishing and moisturizing oil, but sadly the ones sold in the market (like Bliss Kiss one) is rather expensive so I usually make my own mixture of jojoba, coconut, and argan with a few drops of essential oils. Just always make sure the jojoba is like 50% of the mixture, ideally 50% jojoba and the rest are the mix of coconut/argan/any oil like grapeseed and olive. You can apply this mixture on your hands and nails, put on gloves and sleep in it! Regular use of this oil changed my hands and nails, I even quitted nail biting shenanigans entirely thanks to this oil mixture! 😅 Edit: I use this oil mixture for my hair too! Twice a week, massaged it on my scalp and hair as a leave on for 30 minutes to 1 hour then shampoo. It makes my hair soft and frizz free!

I use udder salve in the same way. If you use household gloves for cleaning or washing dishes you can also rub in a dab or two and wipe off any excess with tissue or paper towel after a couple of minutes before you put the gloves on. It only takes a little, and udder salve is also great to put on that way before you put on winter gloves or mittens to go outside. It's great for elbows and knees, too, and for feet as well with cotton socks 🙂

They are wonderful companions, very smart, tough as nails (she trained Akita rescues on the side 😊), sweet as can be and intuitive to boot. She would also hop thru the yard every time she saw a cricket. 😂

My brother had a Samoyed years ago. He also had a friend who was a spinner and made many gorgeous knitted items of the yarn she spun. One of her favorite fibers to work with was Samoyed fur because it was so incredibly soft and warm. Whenever I see you groom a Samoyed I get a little sad to see that lovely fiber get tossed...

[@mercedesvelasquez8781]

I never knew you could do that wirt dog fiber

Its done with cat hair also! Long haired cats of course...

[@mommabee3793]

Really? How cool is that! It has always been my understanding that cat fur lacked the "barbs" that enabled the fibers to grip together to make a strand. I would love a cat wrap! Thanks for sharing that info!@@deirdreevangelista856

It took my sister in law (who owns a grooming shop) and me 3.5 hours to groom my 10 year old Malamute. I can't imagine grooming by yourself!

What a beautiful dog. He came in bone colored and left with a Snow White Coat. You have such a kind way with every furr baby you share with us. Patience. Thank you sweetie

19:20 The way he seemed to be VERY faintly nodding like a modeling assistant while you explained why you put your table against the wall just SLAYED me. I don't know why, but I laughed until my eyes watered!

Once again, you are wonderful! Your patience and love for all animals comes through. And thank you for sharing this gorgeous Teddy bear of a boy with us.

[@peregrina7701]

I got such a vibe of "My shaking won't work well enough? Must you use the air tube of death?" during the blow dry. Canuck was such a good boy and even though he _really_ didn't like his nails done all he did was wiggle and bark. His human clearly puts time and effort into Canuck for him being such a happy, chill, well cared for floof!! Thanks for sharing!

[@stuffnuns]

What a good boy! I expected a full sled dog howl concert, but he was so well behaved. Such a gorgeous beast.

Love the new before and after format!!! The difference is really so much clearer now. Thanks for another great video Vanessa!

Always a joy to watch Vanessa work her (hours of) magic, and the resulting transformation in the before and after pictures. Beautiful dog.

Aww, another Samoyed! I just finished watched baby Mayo (somehow I missed that one) and this popped up! I'm hoping that you see this, Vanessa: I have a very strong appreciation for all that do. Take care.

[@louisapdjones]

He's magnificent, and you deserve an award for your patience and kindness

[@alliereischl3337]

Just wanted to say thank you so much for being authentic about your products! I’ve learned so much and it has helped me a lot with my fosters. My current foster pup is 95% white and came in to rescue super dirty and stained yellow. To not cause the rescue more expense with his care (he’s had some health issues) I’ve been paying for self washing him at a pet store near by. Since he’s an older guy with some health issues, Im trying to make him look as good as possible. He’s slowly looking more and more white and his coat is becoming so healthy. I’ve been using the products you recommend! I wouldn’t have known what to do without your videos! So thank you!

[@uhohspaghettios2391]

I was laughing the whole time he was barking, because I couldn't help imagining him yelling, "Police! Police! I'm being attacked!!! POLICE!!" 😂😂

[@jctell1014]

That was 100% a "Help! Help!" bark and not an aggressive one.

Thank you so much for not doing random brand deals I hate it when people do no hate to people who do and if you have to someday that is fine but for now thank you and I love that when you talk about you things it's not a complete stop to what you are doing it all related THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤

The way he stay quiet and still through the whole process, impressive, only the occasional shake, but his behavior was pristine. Maybe the goddest boy that ever graced this channel? I love the samoyed, a shame they are so expensive

[@syddlinden8966]

I really appreciate your advertising practices. I picked up an equigroomer cause of your videos and it's worked wonders. It both desheds widely AND i enjoy using it on my animals. The way you talk about what you use gives a lot of context for what will work with it dogs' coat and that's so so helpful!

The most peaceful bath on this polar bear that I ever seen 🥺❤️💕

[@kesshami]

The more I learn about Samoyeds, the more I'm inclined to pester my partner about it being our dog when we get into a house. Dog blanket. Better for allergies. Wonderful temperament. Sometimes Husky-like. Floofy. There to support. All the ones I've met have been absolute sweeties. What's not to love?

[@parryyotter]

They ARE barkers. And need stimulation. This dog was super quiet but Samoyeds love to bark.

[@kesshami]

@@parryyotter barking doesn't mean a bad temperament to me. Just cause a dog barks doesn't mean it's not friendly. I didn't say anything about them being quiet.

[@maryeckel9682]

I would say barking depends on where you live. If you're close to your neighbors, it might be a problem.

[@whiteserpent6753]

@@kesshamiI have two young Samoyeds. The puppy barking is incredibly high pitched, loud (>90dB), and they can keep it up for extended periods if they are displeased. (“How dare you put me in the back for this car ride! Traitor! Do you not understand my displeasure? Why aren’t you fixing it?”). Can’t wait for the second one to cut back on barking and reach the deeper-voiced “woo” talking phase.

[@Alberich_Prince_of_Dwarves]

There lives three sammies in my new area; One is the sweetest little puppy, she's like 6 months old and she's so goofy. One is the most reactive dog I've ever crossed paths with, and its owners don't realise their behaviour is making him worse. The last one is such a beautiful little miss, though sadly I've never seen her anywhere but her backyard when I go for walks with my dog. My point is, all dogs are individuals. Find a reputable breeder who focuses on health and temperament and let them pick a puppy for you based on what you want for a family dog. Do your research into a breed, cross reference your info from various websites like AKC and other kennel clubs, ask samoyed people about their dogs and if you have the opportunity, join them for walks. Best of luck! I hope you get your dream dog.

Hey Vanessa, who are the special effects artists who did the amazing Samoyed costume for this quiet boy who sits fairly still for his bath? It's super convincing, and it's uncanny how well it held up to the grooming process! (Edit: I see he does know how to bark a little bit after all, hahaha)

[@kevindelaney1951]

I have met a lovely Samoyed. Gentle but high energy. A dog that really needs the exercise. I owned a Husky from 8 weeks to end of life 11 years on. Yes the will sing the songs of their people & they are happy to share their opinion on what is being asked of them. I love your channels.

[@surlygale1082]

Biggest things this channel has taught me is 1. grooming must be backbreaking and 2. must have PATIENCE when rinsing to be SURE to get all the soap & conditioner off them. That dog was so soapy it probably took a good 20 minutes, maybe more of just rinsing! Gosh, he's gorgeous! And SUCH a good dog. Till the paw work. "Please don't bite my bum" LOL LOL

[@geekchick4859]

I honestly wouldn’t have used that much soap.

[@felesnocis]

@@geekchick4859with dogs like that you gotta use extra to get down to the skin. An experienced bather shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes for a well behaved Samoyed.

[@natalieburg5701]

What annoys me most are the owners who do NO grooming for months then call you up mid groom, wondering why you are taking so long.. They have absolutely no idea how long just washing and drying takes, when it is done properly, let alone any of the other stuff they can't be bothered with.

[@TheScatteredMuse]
