About Samoyed

Country of Origin, History of Samoyeds

The Samoyed is one of the oldest dog breeds from the spitz or northern dog group. They originate from Siberia.

They were used for hunting, herding reindeer, guarding and sledding for the Samoyede tribes in Siberia and so the name was Samoyed. They have descended from Nenets herding dogs that may be white or any other color.

Are they good for homes with kids?

Although they prefer one person, they generally love everyone, especially those in their family. They do well with children.

They can live in an apartment if exercised sufficiently. They suffer greatly in warm climates and cannot exercise much during hot weather. However, they will be quite active indoors.
