Published: June 11, 2007
When looking to get a new dog, the Samoyed is a great choice for both its beauty and utility as a working dog. These gentle, friendly dogs are as hard-working and loyal as a dog can get. Originating as Siberian sled dogs, the breed was brought to England and bred as pets in the early 20th century.
Now heavily featured in dog shows and chosen by many as a family pet, a Samoyed makes a lovely addition to any family.
A medium-sized dog, the Samoyed usually features a gleaming white coat of thick, rough fur, similar to a huskies but a bit thicker. They have a furry mane around the head and neck. Ideal for families with small children, the Samoyed has a very pleasant and friendly temperament. Although slightly difficult to train, the dogs are highly intelligent and do respond if trained at an early age. Although they make great herders and working dogs, they aren't the most terrifying guard dogs because of their extremely warm, gentle disposition. They tend to be devoted to one master, but still show love and affection for others as well. Due to its moderate size, the breed is well-suited for small living quarters, but not for hot climates because of their thick coat. Overall, the Samoyed's peaceful, caring attitude and diligent demeanor make it a good choice for any family or household.
The first thing to do is find a good breeder. The best ways to find one are through newspaper classifieds, advertisements and magazines at local pet stores, and online classifieds/websites. There are some great resources available online to those who know how to look. One of the easiest to understand and quickest to use is Next Day Pets. On top of the usual pet supplies and resources, the site features a dog finder feature which allows the user to search through puppies for sale or adoption, breeders, and adult dogs up for adoption.
Another very efficient and worthwhile puppy finder can be found on Puppyfind.com. This site allows potential pet owners to search for dogs across the entire country. It also features adult dogs as well as puppies, and the user interface is extremely easy and understandable. A puppy ranges from about $500 to $1,000, while an adult dog is about $150 to $300.
It's important to find an ethical, trustworthy breeder to ensure finding the best, highest pedigreed, and most well-trained dog. For this reason, there are several organizations which are made up of reputable, dependable Samoyed breeders. Two major organizations in North America are the Samoyed Club of America and the Samoyed Association of Canada. Both organizations' websites offer a huge list of breeders.
For those who would prefer to save a homeless or abandoned dog there is the Samoyed Rescue Alliance. This organization is an informal agglomeration of rescue groups from across the country. The website has a very sufficient collection of information and resources about Samoyed breeders. Mostly about rescuing adult dogs, the site has links that can put potential dog owners in touch with local rescue groups and organizations. Another good rescue site is National Samoyed Rescue. There one will find a complete list of local rescue contacts as well as a myriad of resources and information, such as the history of and suggestions on the care of the breed. While these sites usually focus on the rescue of adult dogs, puppies in need of saving can be found.
Loving, kind, hard-working, and beautiful, a Samoyed makes a great choice for a pet, show dog, and working dog. Finding a good breeder is easy and fast with the resources available online. Adult dogs and puppies can easily be found through searching online businesses and organizations. For its utility, beauty, and gentle demeanor, a Samoyed makes a wonderful addition to any dog living family.
