SAMOYED PUPPY CARE

The information found in this section is published by Superb Samoyeds™ in an effort to provide all Samoyed lovers and owners with an insight on how to deal with common day-to-day issues that may arise when living with a Samoyed. The Samoyed puppies we raise for new homes receive excellent house training and socialization so as to provide the basis for a happy experience and positive interaction. We’ve put the following information together so as to ensure the continuing proper handling of the Samoyeds and their seamless adjustment to their families.

SAMOYED TEMPERAMENT

Looks aside, perhaps the most adorable thing about Samoyed puppies is that they form such strong bonds with the people they care about. These are gentle, loyal, and loving dogs, and they thrive when made to feel like a cherished member of your family. Welcome a Sammie puppy into your home and you’ll be rewarded with a faithful companion for life. These dogs are calm, typically get on well with children and other animals, and are alert enough to make great watchdogs. Superb Samoyeds™ cautions that that doesn’t mean that raising a Samoyed puppy is a walk in the park. Sammies need lots of mental stimulation and interaction, so if you leave your dog home alone all day with no company, you can expect them to quickly become bored and destructive. They also require a securely fenced yard to prevent any escape attempts, and regular training to help control their independent streak.

TRAINING YOUR SAMOYED PUPPY

While Samoyed puppies form close bonds with their humans, they also have minds of their own. This can make training your puppy something of a challenge, so Superb Samoyeds™ recommends that you’re sure to start the training process as soon as you bring your pup home. Training should be firm but never harsh, and positive reinforcement works best. Keep each session as short and fun as possible, and work out which reward your pup values most (treats, praise, or play) to ensure the best results. The good news is that Sammies are also quite intelligent dogs, so they’ll respond well to training if you’re patient and consistent. The regular mental stimulation that training provides, along with daily exercise and boredom-busting activities, can also help keep problem barking in check. Finally, it’s essential that you socialize your Samoyed puppy. As a pup, your pooch needs to be given the chance to meet other dogs, new people, and encounter a wide range of new places and situations. This will help your puppy grow into a confident dog who reacts calmly and appropriately when faced with new experiences. At Superb Samoyeds™, we start off all our puppies doing exactly this, and we expect their subsequent owners and families to duly follow suit.

DIET AND EXERCISE FOR SAMOYED PUPPIES

Just like all younger dogs, Samoyed puppies need a diet specifically formulated to support healthy growth and satisfy their high energy needs. For the best nutrition, choose a super-premium dog food designed for your pup’s life stage. Regular exercise is also essential to a Samoyed puppy’s health and happiness. Thanks to their working history, Sammies are energetic dogs that love being given a job to do. Your pup will relish regular play sessions and long walks by your side, but you’ll need to keep your dog on a leash to stop them roaming. Samoyed puppies can also excel at a wide range of dog sports, so check out activities for Samoyeds in which you can participate and help your pooch stay active. At Superb Samoyeds™, we participate in a lot of different activities with our dogs. Some of them are: Dog Sledding, Obedience, Rally, Conformation Showing, Hiking, Weight Pull, etc

GROOMING YOUR SAMOYED PUPPY

If you want to keep your Samoyed’s coat looking beautiful, you’ll need to be willing to put in some hard work in the grooming department. Samoyeds shed all year round, but especially heavily during shedding season. Superb Samoyeds™ recommends regular brushing to remove loose hair from your Samoyed’s coat, not to mention keep it looking clean and fluffy. A comb or slicker brush will also be handy to stop any tangles from forming. Given that Samoyed puppies are regular shedders, you’ll also start to notice plenty of dog hair on your clothes, your furniture, and all around the house. This is just a fact of life when you’ve got a Sammie, so be prepared to spend a little extra time vacuuming.
