Nutrition

The Samoyed should thrive on a premium dog food, whether it is produced commercially or is made at home under the guidance and consent of your veterinarian. Samoyeds do best on a raw diet, which is why many owners supplement their commercially manufactured food with raw delights like fruits, vegetables, and freeze-dried meats in between meals. Age-appropriate diets for dogs should be followed (puppy, adult, or senior). Watch your dog's calorie intake and weight level because certain dogs are prone to obesity. Fresh water that is clean should always be accessible.

Grooming

The Samoyed has a thick, double coat that is made up of a soft, thick undercoat and a longer, rougher outer coat. Samoyeds frequently shed, but during their shedding season, which can happen once or twice a year, they shed even more. Daily brushing will help to keep the dog looking his best by removing dirt and loose hairs. A slicker brush or metal comb can be used to untangle mats or tangles. Every three to four weeks, or more often as necessary, the nails should be trimmed.

History

The Samoyedic people, also known as the Samodeic people, were a semi-nomadic people from Asia who migrated to Siberia a thousand years ago and were members of the Sayantsi family. They developed canines for rigorous labour in the world's coldest inhabited areas. The Samoyede people camped out and cuddled together with their dog packs for warmth during the chilly Northern winters. Samoyed dogs and people developed a strong bond as a result of their mutual need to cooperate in order to survive. Samoyed dogs earned their food by working as watchdogs and hunters when they weren't sledging heavy loads across vast stretches of Siberia. The reindeer served as an essential source of food, clothing, and leather for the Samoyede. They initially hunted reindeer with their dogs. But over time, reindeer herding replaced reindeer hunting in Samoyede culture. The fearless white haulers and hunting dogs found a new calling as stock dogs, moving and guarding the herds. The Samoyed was first made known to British dog lovers by Arctic explorers who returned to England in the late 18th century. A fan who contributed significantly to promoting the breed as a companion and show dog was Queen Alexandra.
