TOP 10 Samoyed Facts | The Good & The Bad

[@windfishr]

Felix not drooling is actually a trait that the Samoyed has due to breeding! They were bred not to drool because the freezing temperatures in Siberia causes dog’s drool to freeze, which can hurt the dog. So the whole reason why sammies smile, is so that they won’t drool! :)

[@MsBabbi]

The smiling is so the drool doesn’t stick to their mouths and freeze, as these dogs typically drools a lot

[@windfishr]

@@MsBabbi well yes and no, samoyeds are bred to not drool as much as other dogs. Excessive drooling is not a breed typical thing for sammies. They salivate of course, but years of breeding has caused them to produce less drool. The smile prevents that little drool from getting out.

[@CK.Stellata]

@@MsBabbi Yeah! If they did drool in Siberia, they would be growing stalactites! It's created that wonderful Sammie Smile.

[@vikkil2586]

I luv my Sammy. She always makes me laugh.

[@fuzzywzhe]

@@windfishr I'm going to correct you on this breed. It's an ANCIENT breed. The dogs were bred in Siberia to do 3 things: pull sleds, herd reindeer, and to keep children warm at night. Because they were bred to sleep with children, any dog that showed aggression was prevented from breeding, in other words, killed. All aggression has been bred out of them, for thousands of years. A dog that drooled was less likely to survive in Siberia, so they were eliminated. You can argue with the methods, but try to argue with the results. I don't condone it, but at the same time, I've had two of these dogs, and they are wonderful, if you can keep up with the shedding, which is excessive.

[@dellahamilton4729]

We had a Samoyed for about 14 years. He was very sweet. Didn't have a mean bone in his body. We had a second home in the snow and he LOVED being there. He would run off every chance he got!!! He loved to run. He would pull our kids on a sled... He was very beautiful.

[@IriStrawberryNya]

We had a samoyed for 15 years, sadly she died 7 months after her birthday 😢

[@CK.Stellata]

My grandparents used to breed & show Samoyeds in New Zealand. They were very well trained, didn't bark inside & only really made a lot of noise when herding their sheep! They can be very, very protective of their home & people - you had to make noise/announce yourself when you went to their house because the dogs would get very growly if they thought strangers were approaching. Sweetest dogs 99% of the time, total goofballs - and the reason I didn't know I was allergic to dogs until my mid-20s! They're hypoallergenic! OH! And! Their fur can be spun into yarn, then knitted. The softest socks EVER.

[@boop8127]

There is no such thing as hypoallergenic dogs. Its the reaction you get to various degrees. I have zero issues with long haired dogs. Poodles, jack russels give me asthma. Our pittie makes my skin itch once he starts to get dirty.

[@fuzzywzhe]

@@boop8127 The allergic reaction to dogs is (said to be) from their dandruff, not their fur. Samoyeds have almost no scent, and no dandruff. They don't shed skin. They do however shed a lot of fur, enormous amounts.

[@argowibowo7968]

At the beginning of pandemic I got a male samoyed and we are so amused with his antics that we could not contain ourselves to get a female for his companion a couple of years ago. Now we have a pair of mayhem in our home. Never regretted the decision one bit.

[@marymiah7164]

You explained my Sammie exactly. Definitely won’t sleep in a dog bed, hard floor is their favourite. ❤️

[@gwladyssarie6599]

Yes, that is also the case with my samoyed

[@Sunny_Tang]

most of the time belly up for optimal cooling ❄❄❄

[@fuzzywzhe]

I had a Samoyed that liked to sleep in my lap in bed on his back. Nice to wake up when he did.

[@MaryLove-d5w]

Mines has a dog bed but the floor is the main choice, although ever so often she goes on her bed. I trained her to use it using treats, but maybe only went there to hunt for any treats that may be lost in it. 😂

[@adnanburek4548]

I swear to god, this is the most authentic full of love video about this amazing breed. Well done. Give Felix a big hug from our fluffy family. EDIT: I never take my samoyed on a leash and when ever he runs for other animal or a dog(which he does all the time), I just call him and he stops. It does require of him to use a lot of mental effort but he is a loyal dog.

[@fuzzywzhe]

I would let my Samoyeds freely chase squirrels because they couldn't catch them. They were not allowed to chase cats. I wouldn't describe a Samoyed as "loyal" though. Although my dogs loved me, if I took them to a bar or out to dinner, the last thing they wanted attention from, was me and everybody wanted to meet them. After all, they could get attention from me whenever they wanted, and they were fully aware of that.

[@daleinada4306]

I'm a 3 time Samoyed owner! Best dog ever! They are so intelligent! Cannot get another right now, to heart broken to loose them they are great souls!- 100% agree with you on your observations!

[@gl15col]

My sweet Loki did the stepping in front of me once, when the neighbor (who had mental issues) came to the door and yelled at me about something. He didn't growl, but planted himself firmly between us and stared the man down. His dad saved our son from a stray dog that came racing around the corner snarling , he stayed right in front of of him and didn't chase the other dog but stayed on guard. My most favorite breed!

[@jackyjackazz]

The reason samoyeds barely drool is actually because of their smile! They don't only smile because they are happy, but because it keeps them from drooling :)

[@Youngbane1457]

But they might also be smiling cuz they're happy too

[@jackyjackazz]

@@Youngbane1457 ofc!

[@melindac3368]

He's beautiful, and I love the side-eye he gave when taking the socks. Very cheeky. If I were younger, I'd love to have one.

Many years ago I adopted a Samoyed stray…she was one of the best dogs I ever owned. Second place was my border collie mix

Smiled during the whole video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ can wait to have my own Samoyed!!

[@bikefreak85]

I have been a dog sitter for a Samoyed for a week now and it was the best week I have experienced in my life, they are so friendly so kind dogs there are no words to describe it their fur is so fluffy so nice, I am not used to it with dogs I agreed to guard him because it is expensive in a dog hotel but I will say one thing best week of my life, so much joy I have with samoyed I think I will buy a samoyed I have fallen so in love with samoyed.

[@irinaanalte1672]

They are smart,friendly, happy dogs.

[@liesbeth7919]

Nice video. I have a samoyed to. It is funny to see how much Felix charactre looks like our Sammy. I really enjoy your posts on Instagram/KZbin.

[@gcs8889]

Very similar traits - but I've not yet seen the protectiveness. I have a female that's just about to turn 7, and a male that is 6 (both neutered). I've never seen protectiveness from the male as he is actually generally more timid than the female. I've never had to worry about them reacting with strangers, generally more worried about the person than I am with them. They do bark & get excited when they see someone they like though, even indoors. My most difficult training task with them to stop them from jumping up. They don't mean harm by it, but they just want to get closer to someone. Once everything is calm, it's never an issue. The female is super cuddly. To the point where she demands it a lot, and loves to just lay anywhere with you (even the bed) for a few hours. Our male will cuddle with you for a few minutes, and that's about it - otherwise he'll just lay by your feet & be content. He also likes his own personal space more than the female. As for small animals? Oh man - it's the reason I don't unleash mine either. I've just got it trained into them (after years), that cats are OK. Birds, chipmunks, & squirrels though are a favorite of theirs, and both have gotten out of the yard at one point to chase after them.

[@gastondeveaux3783]

They are such gorgeous love bundles!!!♥♥♥

[@petergroenhart4788]

Got a 5 year old Sammy since a year now. Left abandoned by her precious owner in Croatia. It's amazing how quick she adapted to a family live. She loves traveling, and explore things. Don't like to take her to inner city too much, with all the attention you get a 100 meters walk can take up to 30 minutes! :) Love your view on the Sammy!

[@yaquelinesabina2471]

[@Mazeboxx]

Regarding him apparently loving to run away; we have resorted to attaching GPS tracker to our dogs' collars, mainly for emergencies as we usually walk with them in forest areas, and once they spot something the hunting instinct just kicks in and they are off. At least the tracker helps us find them again. Only one got properly lost once, but that was where the tracker really paid off, as we knew where to look for him.

[@victoireoberlin9224]

Personally, my dog doesn't drink delicately but she gets it all over the place every time for at least 10 feet /3m around and we are teaching her to grab treats more gently as she tends to want to eat fingers with it 😂

[@sarabyrne6495]

My samoyed, Lennie, is the most stubborn dog imagineable 😂 and just so cheeky but he is just so loveable, i love him to pieces. Samoyeds are such a special breed ❤

Accurate except for 8 hours alone, I'm on my third Sammy, they can be a little destructive at first when you leave them for long periods of time, but usually when they hit 1, they are fine to be left at home while you work. Never had a probably in 30+ years working and owning Sammies

[@grgasam0074]

Felix is very cute, im waiting for my samoyed allready 4 years but we have to move out first

[@myrealname_bear]

haha the way the towel was on Felix!😍

[@meows_and_woof]

I have Samoyed boy Casper he’s 2 years old He doesn’t bark much and doesn’t howl at all, he loves attention and also needs a lot of family time and play time so we try to give him that as much as possible He doesn’t like to travel in the car that much so we only take him when necessary, he can stay at home for some time and he doesn’t cause any distractions when he’s alone We also have 4 cats and he’s super friendly with them and very gentle and he doesn’t treat them as toys or prey so he never chases them when they run around. He also adopted this understanding when he sees a cat outside he won’t chase it he just might have a general interest as he’s very friendly. He is extremely friendly to both humans and other animals. He never growls or barks at other and always ready to play and say hello He does shed a lot during seasons and throughout the year , it’s a non stop process. He is also very big, he’s 37 kg last time we weight him and very fluffy, he has enormous mane like a lion so his upper body looks even bigger. Despite of such big size he’s a grown baby and always cuddly , sweet and gentle I honestly cannot say anything bad about this breed if I judge by my dog. Our whole family loves him Wanted to add after completing the video: Casper also very picky eater, he doesn’t eat dry dog food no matter what brand, he doesn’t eat even the best wet dog food unless I hand feed him. So we feed him raw diet and he can also eat cooked meats and chew bones, he loves bones so I get him some bones from the butcher. He never touches our things, like sleepers or our clothes, he knows what are his toys and he only plays with those. He is very obedient but sometimes can have a mind of his own so I train him every day on walks for patience and obedience to listen to my commands and follow them. He needs a lot of active play and exercises so we take him off leash often, he needs at least 20 minutes of active play and running a day. So I train him not to run away from me, stay on a spot if I tell him without a leash even if I walk away, not to approach other dogs unless I allow, walk next to me without a leash right by my side. He’s very trainable with treats, he loves treats and I give him a treats when he does the right thing and also a lot of praise. I just remembered one things I find very difficult with him- clipping his nails, it’s impossible to clip his nail, I tried myself and with various groomers, he’s just scared when you clip his nail and acts dramatic. So I bought a pet nail grinder and he lets me use that with some encouragement and lots of reassurance as he’s still scared when I touch his nails and paws. Even things like trimming the hair on his paws is difficult as he’s afraid of it. And we never had an accident or hurt him he just doesn’t like it. The rest of the body I can groom however I like, he’s chill with brushing, trimming and baths. And yes one more thing- many times his behind gets dirty after the toilet, he has a soft stool sometimes but even with normal stool the poop stains his fur when travels on the way down. So we have to wash his bum with the garden hose almost every second time after he poops😁 So only those 2 things I find difficult with him

[@momarkmoproblem]

Ours is 85lbs! he is such a tank,

[@nikcdem]

Thank you for this video i really love samoyeds and all dogs and this helped me understand more about them

[@Megan_Fiorilla]

we have had 5 adults and a littler of seven puppies last year, we currently own three Samoyed's. If you ever come to Ireland you are welcome to meet up with them :) they are very good breed, one of there main purposes was to herd rain dear (most of ours don't go for small pray but when they see dear there gone! And the other and reason we chose this breed in the first place was they were also babysitters ! Never met a more attentive and genteel dog with children their like nana form peter pan! Our first bitch would herd my 4 year old sister away from danger keep here safe/ follow her everywhere. Never hurt here even wen Abby was to rough with her and even bounce dogs twice her size ( I mean literally go chest to chest and bounce them) if they were to rough around Abby. No rough housing the baby on her watch. Never aggressive UNLESS you were a threat to a baby. (tis fair enough!) you can also spin there wool and its something crazy like 80% warmer then sheep's wool!

[@Mark1Mach2]

That is so sweet

[@MaryLove-d5w]

A lot of dog owners don’t understand this breed because they are so friendly, vocal and not boring. My Sammie is a girl, males and females are slightly different. She is very stubborn, will eat anything, but she’s smart and learns quickly as long it’s something fun it’s Abu nice of treats. 😂 She’s so gentle but very vocal, she’s territorial of her boundary, but can never be a guard dog as she loves everyone and only wants attention. She doesn’t smell, an occasional burp, that doesn’t smell and I have never heard her fart 😂 She’s coming up to five in a month and has calmed down but very minor. She is so not patient and will literally be vocal unitl she gets what she wants. Crazy kid but I love her just they way she is. ❤ xxxxx

I had a big male, Kovic (would not have named him that now) and I loved having a Samoyed companion. You are right he thought he was one big lap dog!!! He was rarely off-lead in open spaces for good reason. Walking from the car to the house he was usually good; we had done it a thousand times! One day he paused and started walking away, I called him, and he stopped and turned to look me and had this look on his face and I knew. Bamm he was outta of there! LOL It took me an hour to catch up while he thought it was a big game in the park 3 blocks away. I finally caught him when he was close and I ran away from him and as he buzzed by me I literally lept onto him as he went by! Whew! He just grinned isn't this fun! What can you say at that point? They are a fun breed, but not for off-lead! I miss him. Thanks, brings back nice memories.

I recently rehomed a male Red Siberian Husky named Max. Mad Max's muzzle and body are a bit wider than a typical male Husky. So I did a DNA Test. Max is 66.3% Husky, 20% Malamute, 8.4% Samoyed, & 5.3% German Shepherd. So Max is 94.7% Siberian and 5.3% German.

[@boofyhalfpint8559]

Hi from Dubbo, Australia. Have BIG bowls/buckets of water and fans or air conditioning if possible. Only walk early morning and night. If the ground is too hot for your hand it is too hot for puppy feet. and DONT SHAVE ITS FUR!!!! The fur insulates them from the heat as well as the cold. Make sure you brush it out every few days cause matting will cause it to overheat. Enjoy.

[@charlessavoie2367]

If you have an older Samoyed male and he starts having trouble walking, try shaving his fur down to the skin, in the area of his rear area/lower back, then apply roll on DMSO that has some aloe vera in it. If there is spinal GOUT, it will cause trouble moving due to pain, DMSO will DISSOLVE the gout! Don't decide to not try it due to the vet nixes it! RIMADYL can cause STROKES!
