Samoyed dog trivia

Samoyed is a large shepherd dog that is a descendant of the Nenets Shepherd Lyka (a Spitz type of dog) with thick white double fur. Its name comes from the Samoyed people of Siberia. These nomadic reindeer herders raise furry white dogs to help with herding. Another name for the variety, especially in Europe, is bjelkier. The AKC standard requires 21-23.5 inches (53-60 cm) for men and 19-21 inches (48-53 cm) for women. The British Kennel Club standard requires male dogs to be 51-56 cm (20-22 inches) and females 46-51 cm (18-20 inches). The eyes of satsuma dogs are usually black or brown and almond-shaped. Blue or other colors of the eye may appear, but are not allowed to appear in the performance venue. It is located in the "brown and black parts" of the Spitz family. The satsuma has thick ears, covered in fur, is triangular in shape, and stands upright. They are almost always white, but usually have a light to dark brown color (known as "cookies") around the tip of the ear. The tail of the Samoyed is one of the distinguishing features of the breed. Like the Alaskan Sled Dog, the tail curls up on the back; however, unlike the Mara Dumb, the Satsuma's tail actually touches the back. It shouldn't be a tight curl or hold the flag like it; it should be put on the back and set aside. In cold weather, Satsuma dogs can sleep with their tails over their noses to provide extra warmth. Almost all Satsuma dogs let their tail droop when relaxed and relaxed, such as when being petted or eating, but curled their tail when more alert. NZKC Standard: Tail: Long and plump, brought to the back when alert; sometimes falls off at rest. British Kennel Club Standard: Tail: Long and richly coated, moving from the back to the side when alert and sometimes falling off at rest. The satsuma's friendly nature makes them poor watchdogs; aggressive satsuma dogs are rare. The breed is characterized by a alert and cheerful expression, hence the nicknames "Sami Smile" and "Smiley Dog". However, since they like to bark, they can be industrious watchdogs, barking whenever something approaches their territory. Samoyeds are a great companion, especially for small children and even other dogs, who remain at play in their old age. According to the American Samoyed Club, when the Samoyed dogs get bored, they may start digging. According to their sled dog heritage, Samoyed dogs are not against pulling things, and untrained Samoyeds have no problem pulling their owners with a leash instead of walking alongside. Satsuma dogs are also used to herd reindeer. They instinctively play the role of sheepdogs, especially when playing with children, and they tend to try to turn them in the other direction.
