Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Samoyed
+Why do Samoyeds smile?
The upturned corners of their mouth prevent drooling, which would form icicles in cold climates. This gives them their characteristic 'Sammy smile'.
+Do Samoyeds shed a lot?
Yes, Samoyeds are heavy shedders, especially during their biannual 'coat blow'. Their fur can be spun into yarn.
