Due to having Samoyeds in our house for over twenty years i can confirm all of this but not all those reasons are negative. Plus the fact that having a Samoyed in your family will enrich your life tenfold. They are a fantastic breed for families, no smelly dog odour after petting, they are loving, loyal, patient, obediant(when properly trained) & make friends with anyone who wants to be friends, animal or human. I wouldnt have any other breed about the house after owning Samoyeds. Beautiful souls.

I have had a male Samoyed for over 9 years, and what you say is spot on, except the barking; whilst Samoyeds are known to be "vocal", mine only barks about twice a year whether he needs to or not! But as a companion, he is second-to-none. Truly wonderful dogs!

My 9 year old male samoyed isnt that picky, he is lovely on the leash, when he was a puppy i trained that everytime he pulled, i made him stop. it really worked. BUT when he sees another dog or something else he wants to do, it all goes out the window. I agree with all of this. Saying that, he is the most in tune dog aswell. I call him my own nurse because he literally licks my tears away. Kisses and love all day long and he is my best friend. I love every day with him. If you can get a samoyed, i would recommend them. Very soulful caring dogs.

Thank you for being such responsible pet owners. It’s clear that Felix has a special bond with the two of you and that you’ve put a great deal of work into training him. ❤

I have a samoyed for nearly 10 years now.he is definitely very clever open doors and windows, but also I found him very obedient aswell. ilove everything about him except the tons of hair❤❤❤

[dailynewss]

I love them! I just got another puppy from La Casa De La Nieve kennels, omg the fluffiness is heartmelting!

[gemmagale]

It's so nice to know that these traits are the same with most Samoyeds! I have a male one that is one and a half and It felt like these behaviours only happened with him, as you never see anyone else talking about these things. So THANK YOU for sharing this ❤

Totally agree 😂! I own one, she’s 15 months old and sometimes drives me crazy, it’s been a year I have no peace anymore, but I love her! The only thing that is different is that she loves cuddles.

[barbaraz]

Agree with everything you’ve said…. I was frustrated for the first months (so much energy and stubbornness) but eventually my Sammy wore me down and we negotiated terms of living together. 😆😆 Then I adopted a second Sammy. If you can’t beat them, join them. ❤

He is so lovely. My samoyed died in July after 14 years and I miss him so much. 💜

My unneutered male Samoyed lived to be 13.5 years previously. He never barked. He was a magnificent animal. Our current Samoyed is almost 14 . We got her for our daughter when she was 8 years old. They are very bonded. I cannot imagine life without our Samoyed. She is into everything we do and we find this to be very charming. She has a very good diet of sardines, herring, fresh organs (chicken and beef livers, gizzards, hearts, etc.), fresh vegetables, Hills" WD " kibble and Dr Marty's "Nature's Blend". She is very healthy in spite of being diabetic. She has lost weight (now 50 lbs) and no longer gets IVDD because of that. 
Yes - Samoyeds are expensive and require good food, exercise and companionship. Of course, they require vaccinations and vet visits. We figure that we spend about $130-$150/month on ours, apart from the initial cost.(Ours was $1, 400 14 years ago.)
You will find yourself falling in love with this dog. They are gentle and extremely loyal and bonded with their families. Don't expect this dog to be left in the backyard in a cage!!
I cannot imagine life without her. Her beautiful smile has lifted my mood 10, 000 times. Thank God for Samoyeds! What a sublime creature from the hand of God!

Totally agree! We have two beautiful Samoyeds and they bring us so much joy. ❤

Thank you. I'm considering getting a Sammy puppy at some point and want to make sure it is the right decision. I appreciate you stating the bad with the good so people can make educated decisions on the breed.

Can confirm all of this 😂. My Samoyed is almost 2 and being trained as a service dog, it drives me crazy and the training often feels impossible, but in time we will get there. Luckily I love my big goof to the moon and back. 😑 I think his stubbornness and reactivity is the worst. He demands to greet every animal and dog he sees and sounds so aggressive to those unfamiliar with the breed.😅

My Sammy was the best fun run trainer I ever had. Great for travels, and great humor. Miss him still

I am looking to adopt a Samoyed x husky and came across your video. How wonderful you made this to inform future owners. It's so sad when people buy pets without much consideration and the poor animal ends up in a shelter or gets neglected... and there are sooo many on the rescue sites. Your video is so very shot and enjoyable to watch at the same time ❤

[rgee]

He's gorgeous. Thank you for putting the cons out there because they're doable for me!

[hrustoforbaramov]

Having a Samoyed for almost 3 years now, watching this video I had the feeling that I was looking at a description of mine. Nice to know that all this is kind of normal for Samoyeds. Now I love her even more. (if this is possible :-))

I have an 8 month old Samoyed hes adorable, I always had Malamutes before but when my boy passed away we decided to get a Samoyed. I think as we always had malamutes we were ready for the stuborn puppy. He is doing so well with his training the biggest issue is he wants to say hello to everyone so its hard to keep his attention and like my malamutes he learns quickly but will do it on his terms . One thing I didn't expect was just how vocal he is like many have said its when he's happy. I brush him every night which keeps his coat matt free, lick mats are amazing for that.

My Samoyed is 9 months got him at 5. A lot of these are accurate! He is stubborn, loud, and pulls. He however loves food. We got a trainer early on because we have two old dogs and it helped so much!!!
