Samoyeds
White Siberian dogs
Samoyeds are a breed of large, fluffy white dogs originally bred by the Samoyedic peoples of Siberia for herding reindeer and pulling sleds.
Known for their thick double coat and characteristic "Samoyed smile"—upturned mouth corners that prevent drooling and icicle formation in cold climates.
The breed is friendly and energetic: Our Samoyed needs brushing every day.
