The Samoyed
is a strong, dynamic, active dog with a thick

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

or become destructive in other ways. They may not
be trustworthy with other pets. They may be barkers.
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.
