Samoyed Information
Samoyed Description:The origin of the Samoyed lies in Siberia. In fact, the breed derives its name from the Samoyedic tribe native to Siberia. It is believed to be one of the most ancient breed of dogs along with other breeds such as Chow Chow and Alaskan Malamutes, dating back to more than 3,000 years ago. In the olden days, it was used for drawing sleds and for providing warmth to the owner. The Samoyed was brought to America by fur traders in the early part of the 20th century. It was first recognized by the AKC in 1906. |
Samoyed Care & Grooming:The Samoyed is a seasonal heavy shedder. However, regular grooming of the coat is required throughout the year. Its coat should be brushed at least 3-4 times a week to maintain a healthy looking coat. Bathing should be avoided until absolutely necessary as it tends to strip the body of its natural oils and needs to be dried properly after each bath. Because of the heavy fur of the dog, it should be protected from very hot climates. Its eyes and ears should be cleaned regularly and nail needs to be trimmed properly to avoid any injury. |
Samoyed Health Problems:The Samoyed is prone to some health issues like hip dysplasia, Skin allergies, Diabetes, PRA etc. |
