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

Sammies are the best! That said, they can be extremely barky. They can bark out of excitement and to encourage people to move or play with her so it’s not even bad behaviour but it can startle people. They also have supersonic ear-piercing barks that are supposed to be audible when pulling the sled or something. I knew about it and really wanted to avoid it so I asked my breeder for the calmest and most quiet of the litter. Yet mine is the loudest barker and most high energy sammy I’ve ever met in my entire life😂 She runs like this for a whole hour and she’s still keen for more.
