## About Samoyeds
The Samoyed is a medium-to-large Arctic spitz breed from Siberia, known for its dense white double coat, friendly nature and characteristic "Samoyed smile". Historically used to herd reindeer and haul sleds, Samoyeds are social, gentle, intelligent family dogs that need company, coat care and daily exercise.
