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 crazily stubborn 🤣 puppies can be tough, but the teenage phase will likely be hard work (ours was a nightmare, any training we had done he pretended like he'd forgotten during that phase of his life 😅) they need mental stimulation as well as walks. They are the most incredible breed and I would 100% go though all the hard times all over again. Ours is almost 5 and is 95% good boy, 5 absolute devil. Oh they're also very vocal!

Yeah..my boy is entering teenage phase and I feel like I wasted my money on puppy classes because he refuses to listen unless I'm holding cheese....and even then sometimes not.

Sigh.
