Samoyed
Medium–Large · 35–65 lbs
Developed over thousands of years by the Samoyede people of Siberia to herd reindeer and pull sleds in extreme Arctic conditions, the Samoyed's white coat was also woven into garments by the Samoyede people for warmth. The breed's perpetual "Samoyed smile" is functional — the upturned corners of the mouth prevent drooling, which would create dangerous icicles on the face in extreme cold.
The Samoyed is a strikingly beautiful, perpetually smiling working dog with a friendly (90/100) and playful temperament — genuinely excellent with children. The catch: shedding is near-maximum at 95/100 and grooming effort is 85/100, meaning this breed is absolutely not for neat freaks or hot climates; it belongs with active owners who don't mind dog hair on everything.

Samoyed Buyer's Guide
Common questions answered before you buy
With some preparation, yes. The Samoyed is trainable (65/100) but has a moderate stubborn streak (55/100) — meaning they'll learn commands, but may decide not to follow them if they don't see the point. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. Puppy classes are strongly recommended.
The Samoyed needs around 60 minutes of active exercise daily. This means actual exercise — not just a short bathroom walk. A mix of leashed walks, off-leash time, and play sessions keeps them mentally and physically balanced. Their energy level of 75/100 means they won't tire from light activity alone.
Yes — heavily. The Samoyed is a year-round heavy shedder. Expect dog hair on furniture, clothing, and floors constantly. Daily brushing and a good vacuum are non-negotiable. Grooming effort for this breed is high. The Samoyed has demanding grooming needs — expect professional grooming every 4–8 weeks plus daily brushing at home. Grooming costs add up quickly over a dog's lifetime.
Yes — the Samoyed is one of the more family-friendly breeds with a friendliness score of 90/100. They are specifically noted as good with children and families. As with any dog, teach children how to interact respectfully, and supervise early introductions.
The most frequently reported health concerns in the Samoyed include Hip dysplasia, Samoyed hereditary glomerulopathy and Eye conditions. Before buying, ask breeders for health clearances on the parents — reputable breeders will have OFA (hips/elbows) or equivalent certifications on file. Budget for annual vet visits and consider pet health insurance from puppyhood.
Not ideally. The Samoyed is a high-energy breed (75/100) that needs around 60 minutes of active exercise daily and room to move. Without outdoor space to release energy, they become restless, destructive, or develop anxiety. A house with a yard — or a very committed owner who can provide multiple outdoor sessions daily — is a much better fit.
That's the right question to ask before buying. The Samoyed has one of the highest grooming effort scores (85/100). In the Philippines, professional grooming typically runs ₱500–₱2,000+ per session depending on size and coat condition, and this breed may need it every 4–8 weeks on top of daily at-home brushing. Factor this recurring cost into your decision.
