Character and Nature
Due to its history as a sled dog, the Samoyed has always been an active and hardworking four-legged friend. Unlike other well-known →northern dog breeds, it is also a gentle and relaxed dog. While it has a quirky and playful side, it also loves to snuggle with its caregivers and lounge comfortably on the sofa.
The Samoyed is not a lone wolf. It prefers to be with its family around the clock. Its friendly and child-loving nature makes it a →popular family dog. How fitting that it also loves to be petted and scratched.
With strange dogs or other pets, the →intelligent dog breed is usually quite uncomplicated. However, Samoyeds are not dogs that let others take advantage of them; they are very self-confident. For this reason, attention should be paid to →early socialization.
Coat Care of the Samoyed
To keep the fluffy coat of the four-legged friend from tangling and to remain soft, it should be brushed regularly. For →long-haired dogs, it may also be necessary to trim the fur between the toes. This prevents snow, ice, and debris from accumulating between the paws. You can care for your four-legged friend particularly gently with Pets Deli CARE.
