  1. They're beautiful. My boyfriend wants them and huskies but I don't think they would like it here, where it gets over 40 C in summer. And I live in an apartment in the city… 🙁 They are really beautiful though.

  2. I had three of them (2 males and a female) and there are important things to know:

    – When they shed, it's crazy! If you have an apartment, I would suggest another breed. This applies to other breeds, but Samoyeds are one of the worst from this point of view, also because their fur is very noticeable.

    – They are extremely strong, more than you can imagine. During a heat a male spent 2 days banging against a door and eventually broke it down.

    – They can climb very tall fences… One could climb anything shorter than 3 metres and he still tried to climb that one and got stuck once and spent a night hanging at like 2 metres height.

    – They NEED TO be trained carefully (my family failed at that) as if they don't, males tend to LITERALLY kill each other and they may be VERY aggressive with other dogs too. Don't improvise! Have them trained properly because even having them simply in contact with other dogs may not work. The 2 males once fought each other and the whole place looked like a horror movie, we had to run to a vet who thought we were holding illegal dog fights and wanted to call the police… You don't want to go through this kind of situations.

    – If you don't groom them like every week, they won't be so fluffy and people may get disappointed and abandon them in shelters. Either you have to groom them (and it's a tough job because they have double coat and are strong) or you have to spend a lot to have them groomed frequently (and many grooming salons don't really know how to treat double coat and will leave the undercoat wet).

    – As they mentioned in the video they bark a lot. A CRAZY LOT! This can create serious issues with your neighbours.

    – They are very good with people, but have personalities so you have to keep an eye on them. The female I had was extremely docile but didn't like children and snapped them, even quiet and polite ones. One of the males was good only to a couple of people and was very aggressive with other dogs. The other male was extremely playful, but at a certain point well into his adulthood he started to be aggressive with dogs he didn't know though he generally kept his puppy personality.

    – One of the males, when he got quite old, he started hunting cats and eating them. He grew up with cats so he was used to them, he played with my cats and groomed them, but I don't know what triggered this thing when he got old and it was gruesome to collect dismembered cats in the garden every week.

    On the good side: I didn't find them more distructive than any other breed to be honest and mine were not well trained. When they are young they can chew table legs, chair legs etc but once they are adults they just chew on objects they find around, like most dogs do.
