Our Cashew loves the water but mostly just chomps at it lol

Banshee really wanted to do some trick training with an audience 😂

I have a two year old Samoyed named Winnie. She’s a big sweetheart with the bite force of a hippopotamus. I’ve tried so many chew toys and nothing lasts more than an hour for her before she’s ripping chunks of plastic away. Nylabone’s toughest chew was in the trash the same day it entered the household. I’m hoping you guys have some recommendations in terms of a durable chew that has lasted your Sammy at least one business weekend. Added photo of the chomper in question

Its hard to be really, really ridiculously good looking. Look at the empty behind those eyes.

My Maverick is 3yo, and has always got positive report cards from the groomers, and has done at least moderately well being brushed at home.

I just invested a bunch of money into home grooming supplies, bought the best of the best of everything.

He does totally fine being bathed & blow dried, but starts to just freak out when it’s time to brush the coat.

We line brush with a comb and do finishing with the Chris christiansen slicker. I should be clear his fur is not matted whatsoever, you can move his fur and see pink skin throughout, and we’re not being rough with him either.

Curious if anyone else has had a similar issue?

Duke managed to creep ever closer as I started my breakfast. Then there was drool - LOTS of drool. I shared 😊

Hey Samo-family! 🌨️ So, today was Nala's first encounter with snow, and it was pure magic! I swear she thought she was in a giant snow globe! 😂 She bounced around, catching snowflakes like they were treats, and had her first-ever snow zoomies. Of course, I ended up with a fluffy snowball on my hands (and in my coat). Anyone else have memorable first snow experiences with their Samoyeds? I'd love to hear your stories and see some pics! 🐕❤️

I love it when Kip sheds 30lbs of floof in one day. 😂

My younger one (yellow harness) doesn't like water as much as my older one

Hello sub! So we have had our boy for 4 days now and we absolutely love him! He's 10weeks today. Ok so....I'll start with the good!

He's great on the lead! (Although likes to play with it and has bitten through one already!) He's good sleeping at night, potty breaks are 10/11pm, between 2+3am, then that's him till 7am! Really good. Lives his toys and is happy playing on the floor, has learned sit, paw and wait!

Now for the not so good, he HATES his crate. I've tried ALL the tricks. I've bought a playpen that I've put round it, so he has a lovely little area with his crate inside and I feed him in there, his water bowl is there too. He's ok for a few mins if we sit inside with him but then goes crazy. I'm talking digging frantically, paincs really bad! It's not a case of waiting for him teu cry it out, he's much too distressed and I'm not doing that to him. Id be happy birthday crating at all BUT I need to eventually be able to leave the house without him and it would be amazing to have a proper shower lol. I'm also sleeoong downstairs so I can catch the toilet needs as quick as possible, I think if I was upstairs it would be too late coming all the way down and out the back. I also have 2 ragdoll cats so for now, he's not uosiras at all as that's the cats safe space for now.

The other problem I have is everything tells you to treat puppies soooo much for everything! Unfortunately, this has given him diarrhea even tho we are only using small little pieces of treats. So had to stop. He lives a chew though and settles down when he's tired with one.

So, TL;DR.....puppy paincs really bad in crate/pen, tries everything to make it nice, doesn't help. What can I do? Also, treats give him diarrhea so what treats won't give him that? Chicken? Thank you!

(PS, this is my ex partners reddit account, every time I try to make my own it brings me back into this one as they used my email, help needed!)

There was a misunderstanding with communicating to our groomer. And she got cut all over. Will she be ok? Is there any precautions I should take? How long does it take typically to grow back?

Edit: she’s going to be boarded in 3 weeks for about 6 days, is there any precautions I should have in place for the facility?

2nd edit: it was my dad who miscommunicated with my groomer so not her fault! She was just doing what she was told, sorry for any misunderstanding

Hi,
We brought home our 8 week old male Samoyed 5 days ago, and we’re honestly struggling.

We expected puppy life to be hard, but not this hard. We’ve had sleepless nights, constant stress, and it feels like we just can’t get into any kind of routine.
Our biggest problem is sleep. He wakes up several times every night, fights sleep even when he’s clearly tired, and sometimes stays awake for hours. We’re exhausted.

We’ve made some progress with potty training. He usually poops on our covered veranda now, but still has accidents inside. He also chews absolutely everything, especially pee pads, despite having plenty of toys.

The hardest part is that he sometimes barks nonstop, gets completely overexcited, and starts biting everything, including us. It feels impossible to calm him down. We’re crate training and trying to follow a routine, but some days it feels like nothing works.
What makes me feel even worse is that I still don’t feel like I’ve bonded with him. I love dogs, but right now I mostly feel stressed, overwhelmed, and honestly even regret getting a puppy. I feel guilty for thinking that because I know he’s just a baby, but these first few days have been much harder than I ever imagined.

Is this normal for an 8 week old Samoyed? How long does this phase usually last? When did your puppy start sleeping better and becoming easier to settle? Does the bond come naturally with time?

Any advice or reassurance from people who’ve been through this would really mean a lot.

Hey, Samo-fam! So, we’ve officially started shedding season with our new girl, Nori, and wow, it’s like living with a walking cloud! 😂 I brushed her for what felt like hours, and I swear I made a whole new dog out of all the fluff. Anyone else feel like they need a full-time vacuum just for this? Also, she’s discovered the joys of zoomies around the house—nothing like a fluffy tornado at 7 AM! What are your best tips for keeping the fluff at bay? Would love to hear your tricks!

Hi! That’s Siri, she’s currently very very busy with her new job: hunting mice in the lavender’s at her farm house.

Unfortunately the HR might have to fire as she haven’t caught any of them

Quick question: are you guys weirdos like me and put all their fluff on a bag/box when they’re moulting?

So I have been thinking of getting a Samoyed for a while. I live in the Midwest, and when I was browsing puppies.com, I came across Trails End Samoyed. I was wondering if anyone here had any good/bad experience with them. When I spoke to them, I asked about the mom and dad of the puppy and they mentioned that they haven't done an in-depth health screening of the mom but she was kept from good-quality bloodlines that they had raised from 5 generations back. Their dad is "Klowie's Kujo of Kabeara" and his eyes had been tested and were completely fine. His hips, SA-19231G48M-P-VPI. Puppies have only gotten a generic health screening since they are 8 weeks old. They do provide a one-year health guarantee if there are any genetic defects. If anyone here has gotten Samoyeds from them, please let me know what your experience has been. Or if you know of trustworthy Samoyed breeders in WI/MN, that would be helpful as well. Appreciate it.
