I am thinking about getting a samoyed puppy, what type of pets do they make?

Are they good for townhouse living. How often do they need to be groomed, and are they runners like the Siberian Husky when left of a leash. Any additional info would be helpful.

I don't think a Samoyed would be a good choice for a townhouse. The require a tremendous amount of exercise, and if not given the oppotrunity to run, they can be very destructive to your home as a substitute for their energy. They are normally boisterous, rowdy and nip at things that move, such as children, joggers, etc.They require frequent grooming, and shed profusely.

You will find hair everywhere, even in your food. You must brush and comb them constantly. Now, as far as temperament goes, they can actually be either way; energetic or placid, hard-headed or sweet-natured.

However, if you get a puppy, you will not know what type of personality the dog will have. With a Samoyed, it is advisable to get an adult dog to know how they are. I have never actually been around one extensively, but have seen a few come in to be groomed when I worked for a breeder, and they are a handful to groom.

If it were up to me, I would not go with a puppy. It sounds way too risky with a Samoyed, and it does not sound like a dog for a townhouse. They tend to be barkers, which is another negative quality.

If you are not totally set on a Samoyed, why not get a rescue or shelter dog? That’s all I have ever had, and you can find so much satisfaction in saving an animal. If you want a Samoyed, look for a Samoyed rescue.

They will have dogs whose temperament in more visible, and you will save a lot of money. Since a Samoyed in general does not seem to have the qualities that I would want for a townhouse, I would look around at the shelters, etc.I’m sure you can find a dog who will look at you, and you will be a goner. It’s usually love at fist sight when you to those places, which is why I can never go in any more!

Three is enough. If I could afford more, I would have more, but I want the best in nutrition and healthcare for them. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do!

Samoyeds What’s good about ’em What’s bad about ’em There are energetic Samoyeds, and placid Samoyeds. Hard-headed Samoyeds, and sweet-natured Samoyeds. Serious Samoyeds, and good-natured goofballs.

Introverted Samoyeds, and Samoyeds who love everyone. If you acquire a Samoyed puppy, you can’t know for sure what he or she will grow up to be like. Because a good number of purebred puppies do NOT grow up to conform to the "norm.

" Now let’s look at some common characteristics for this breed... If you want a dog who... Is medium to large and "spitz-like": prick ears, foxy face, thick coat, and curled tail Is robust and spirited and thrives on vigorous exercise and athletic activities, especially in cold weather Is usually good-natured with everyone Is one of the brightest and most responsive of the spitz breeds A Samoyed may be right for you. If you don’t want to deal with... Vigorous exercise requirements Rowdiness and exuberant jumping, especially when young "Separation anxiety" (destructiveness and barking) when left alone too much Chasing and nipping at things that move: children, joggers, other animals, bikes, cars Stubbornness (mind of his own) Heavy shedding Barking A Samoyed may not be right for you. If I were considering a Samoyed... My major concerns would be: Providing enough exercise.

Samoyeds MUST have regular opportunities to vent their energy. Otherwise they will become rambunctious and bored -- which they usually express by non-stop barking and destructive chewing. Bored Samoyeds are famous for chewing through drywall, ripping the stuffing out of sofas, and turning your yard into a moonscape of giant craters.

If you simply want a pet for your family, and don’t have the time or inclination to take your dog running or hiking or biking, or to get involved in sledding or carting, or a similar canine activity, I do not recommend this breed.Bounciness. Young Samoyeds (up to about two years old) romp and jump with great vigor, and things can go flying, including people. If you have small children, or if you or anyone who lives with you is elderly or infirm, I do not recommend Samoyed puppies.

The temptation to play roughly and nip at moving people is too strong in many young Samoyeds. Separation anxiety. More than most other breeds, Samoyeds need a great deal of companionship and do not like being left alone for more than a few hours.

They tend to express their unhappiness through destructive chewing and barking. If you work all day, this is not the breed for you. Chasing instincts.

Many Samoyeds have strong instincts to chase (and sometimes grab! ) cats and other fleeing creatures, including deer and livestock. Mind of his own.

Samoyeds are not Golden Retrievers. They have an independent mind of their own and can be manipulative. Some are willful, obstinate, and dominant (they want to be the boss) and will make you prove that you can make them do things.

You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say. To teach your Samoyed to listen to you, "Respect Training" is mandatory. My Samoyed Training Page discusses the program you need.Grooming.

To keep their long thick coat free of mats, Samoyeds require a good deal of brushing and combing. Heavy shedding. Samoyeds shed a LOT.

You’ll find hair and fur all over your clothing, upholstery, carpeting, under your furniture, on your countertops -- even in your food. Frequent vacuuming will become a way of life. Make sure you’re REALLY up for this.

Barking. Samoyeds should never be left outside in your yard, unsupervised. MANY Samoyeds have intense, high-pitched barks that can set your teeth on edge, and your neighbors will end up calling the cops to report the nuisance -- or quietly letting your Samoyed out of his yard so he’ll wander away.

If you’re considering an adult Samoyed... There are plenty of adult Samoyeds who have already proven themselves NOT to have negative characteristics. If you find such an adult, don’t let "typical breed negatives" worry you. When you acquire a puppy, you’re acquiring potential -- what he one day will be.

So "typical breed characteristics" are very important. But when you acquire an adult, you’re acquiring what he already IS.

Samoyed are good for a single owner or couple, not so much for families. Not really a dog who likes strangers.. They need to be brushed often, and in the spring they "blow" their winter undercoat. Any dog that has not been trained can be a runner, but unneutered males are the most likely runners.

Samoyed’s are higher on the list of dogs most likely to bite. They bond well with their owners, but are not friendly with people they don’t know well. They can be a high energy dog, so need room to run or very long walks.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
