Initially, it wasn’t much of a surprise to see Samoyeds with a variety of various colours, but its no more the case today as they come in majorly the white colour which is now predominant in most parts of the world. Samoyeds came to England in the late 1800s, and they came sometimes as gifts from the czar of Russia. Queen Alexandra of Denmark is known to have loved them, particularly endeared to them. They were introduced in the U.S in 1906.

Samoyeds are sensitive to heat, and hence prefer cooler temperatures to hot ones. They might not be ideal to breed in climates such as the tropical africa; this is due to their conspicuously thick, luxurious fur.

It is necessary to also keep them inside an air conditioned space anytime the temperature is high.

The Samoyed can be referred to as a spitz breed, which means they’re part of a group of dogs known to be closely related to wolves. They have alike features which include their fox-like faces and curly tails.
According to MentalFloss In 2011, scientists discovered a 33,000-year-old fossil of a dog. The fossilโnamed the โAltai dogโ after the mountain range it was discovered onโis from a dog/wolf hybrid that seems to have been more dog than wolf. After conducting detailed DNA testing, the researchers found that the modern breed most closely related to this ancient hybrid is the Samoyed. Really old!

The Samoyed coat is not beautiful and classy by accident; owners of these dogs must be very disciplined about brushing them and keeping them groomed. This brushing should be done frequently to prevent tangling. Samoyeds are known to shed a lot of hair all over the place during shedding season and maintenance can be a very difficult, hard job. Samoyed Owners are known to take their dogs to groomers who help groom their dogs well. Though costly, its worth the price.

Samoyed is still naturally hunters and no matter how friendly it is
with humans it is still pre-conditioned to chase the prey, it is likely to chase after small animals that may intrude in its space all trying to protect his safety. Initially in Siberia, Samoyeds were used to hunt down reindeer and haul sledges for the
Siberian people. Samoyeds hunting instincts are so strong they cannot resist chasing rabbits or squirrels; hence they cannot be trusted off leash.
