Description: The Samoyed is a good-natured, mischievous, family dog who has a fondness for people, especially children. The beauty of a Samoyed with his smile which extends from ear to ear will attract attention when he is out. An owner of a Samoyed should be somebody who is willing to give of his time in both grooming and activity. He does not shed, instead you will find his woolly undercoat coming out like white balls of fluff floating through the air.
