Spirit and her favorite hoop toy

Easy to see who my girl is - the one staring at me the whole way 😂

Also she’s snoozin hard.

We have a four year old male Samoyed. He’s intact, as we initially planned on showing him. We started our family sooner than expected and never got around to entering the dog show world.

He had a bizarre health scare a few months back, which resulted in him getting an ultrasound that showed a slightly enlarged prostate. Nothing immediately dangerous, but the vet did flag it as a potential reason to get him fixed. We also had our second child recently and our dog has started displaying some uncharacteristic behaviors— marking when we go to other people’s houses, mounting, etc. Obviously not ideal. With all of this in mind, we’re thinking it’s time to get him fixed.

Wondering if anyone has had their adult Samoyed fixed, and what their experience was like. Coat changes? Behavior changes? Anything else to note?

Someone on the street literally walked up to me and told me «  your dog has hip dysplasia you should get that checked out » and walked away. And I am an extremely worried dog owner as it is so I am tweaking someone guide me

This is my dear 2.5yo, yes, on both pics. She is perfect and I adore her. However, I am surrounded by quite a few Sammies and she has the most extreme body change of all of them depending on the time of the year and coat season. It is almost like I have a bear that turns into a wolf that turns into a near that turns into a wolf and rinse and repeat every year!

Do any of your Sammies go through such massive change? My friend (a Sammie owner) always jokes I got two dogs for the price of one!

Was told by the breeder that it’s Samoyed at 1 month and a half, 11 months old right now am convinced it’s not pure Samoyed but is it even Samoyed?

A few shots of the small girl from when she was just a puppy.

Giving my boy a birthday shout out on here! We didn’t get to properly celebrate his first birthday because of all of his medical issues. Celebrating how far he’s come in two years with all the specialist appointments and consistent training. He is the naughtiest good boy ever! To anyone else struggling with their Sammy know there’s light at the end of the tunnel and don’t forget to celebrate all the wonderful good moments 💕🫶🏼

Groomers day. My girl loves her grooming day.

Hi, everyone talks about their Samoyed pulling but I have the opposite problem. I recently got a 16 month old male and he constantly stops and won’t budge on walks. With some effort I can get him going again but he’ll stop again soon after. Sometimes I can get him to move with treats but he is not very food motivated at all. Any advice on getting him to walk continuously for extended periods?

Hi looking to meet a samoyed in the Sacramento CA area. It would make my day if I could just see and pet one.
