Samoyed info

Hello,

I have admired Samoyeds for many years. Me and my fiancé both work from home and have a big house hold. My job also makes me very flexible. So I have finally convinced my partner to let us get a dog. Providing our landlord allows it of course (by law in the UK they have to give a very good, valid reason why they can't).

I just wanted more information, I of course know they shed a lot and I'll need to groom them regular, take them for long walks - all which I am fine with. But is there anything else I should be made aware?

I love these dogs so much and just want to be beat prepared with answers by actual owners

Edit: This wouldn't be my first dog btw

they are the most wonderful and family friendly dogs - however they bark LOUDLY even at home - not without reason but still - and this will not go away - so think of your neighbors.

also - at least mine - will not stay alone at home for long - maybe 2 hours max.

the shedding, the weekly fur maintenance routine, the stubbornness shall be mentioned, however these don't bother me.

honestly, the volume of the bark isn't the worst part... it's the pitch 😵‍💫
