    I had a Samoyed when I was little. She was so friendly, only barked when another dog or stranger came, and didn't cause trouble while we were at school/work. She stayed outside during the day.
    Her one vice was to bury bones in my mother's rose garden. My mother would get upset when she found a bone. After our dog died, my mother would cry each time she found a bone in her garden.

    The fact that his go-to defense is barking says awesome things about the owner, you can tell he is used to having his boundaries respected and doesn't feel the need to enforce them with a bite. There are several times where he kinda nips the air in your direction, but you can tell its very half-hearted and not actually trying to hurt you, just express his distaste for the grooming of his feet! Such a good boy!

    • @fuzzywzhe

      Samoyeds don't tend to be aggressive. I've had many of these dogs. They are vocal, but not dangerous. They are also not an easy dog to own. Despite their beauty and cuteness, the amount of work in keeping up that coat is very considerable. A PROPER owner will spend an hour every week just raking out the coat. They shed incredible amounts, so you have to be pretty consistent with a vacuum cleaner. I used to foster for these dogs, people would get them because of how adorable they were, but they are a lot of work, and normal people would get over-whelmed. I'm not normal at all.
      If YOU cannot groom a Samoyed yourself, don't get one. I don't think she should have cut ANY hair except on the pads, and the butt, that's it. Samoyeds have what are called guard hairs, and if they take FOREVER to grow back, guard hairs are HAIR not fur. The guard hairs are very rough and help keep their coat clean, even at their feet. Pads have to be cut if they are on smooth surfaces, because they will slip and slide otherwise.
      Their coat knots up easily as well, you have to comb them out regularly. Some people do it practically everyday. Behind the ears especially. They are wonderful dogs, but don't underestimate the commitment of having one. These dogs are WORK.
      I recently did dog sitting for a GSD, and some training. Compared to my Samoyeds that I've had, that was CAKE. Easy to bathe, easy to comb out, smarter than a Samoyed, almost as needy as one. I'd forgotten what it was like to have an easy dog.

      I’m so glad that you have your dog. I work in mental health, specifically neuropsychology with brain injuries at the present. Broadly speaking, I don’t think the benefit of dogs or animals in general has been acknowledged sufficiently in the medical field. They are great when people are struggling with dementia as well. In my personal situation, we have a rescue GSP that my husband went to pick up…and he got a call from his specialist waiting to board the plane that his cancer was back. This dog had been treated so poorly by humans, just like our first rescue GSP we had some years back. She bonded quickly with my husband and is the most amazing and intuitive dog who can always tell when he is not doing well. We had not expected for him to get very sick again within a month of getting her. She was by his side 24/7 despite, being a 3 year old high energy breed, until he ended up in hospital. It is going to be 5 years in February since we got her and she is a happy silly goof. There have been ups and downs for him but he is still alive and Kona has been his intrepid friend, always aware when he is starting to go downhill and always always right there beside him. They give so so much if you just show them kindness and love.

    Their undercoat brushings will spin up into a wonderful soft fluffy yarn, a bit like angora fibre from a rabbit. I'm a handspinner and a friend owns eleven (!) Samoyeds, she gave me half a bin bag of undercoat when her dogs were blowing their winter coat and I spun her up enough yarn for a hat and scarf. Funnily enough once you've washed it well Samoyed yarn doesn't smell of wet dog if you get it wet again, or at least I or other humans can't smell it. My cats could always tell if I showed them the Samoyed sample yarn though.

      Samoyed fur was actually designed that way. They were bred originally for several purposes....as a livestock (reindeer) and human guardian, as a companion animal....they were bred to literally lay across their humans to comfort them and keep them warm, and their fluffy soft hypoallergenic fur was not only designed to be comfortable to cuddle as the dog lays on you, but native tribes where Samoyeds originated actually harvested their fur to make blankets, socks, and clothing as well.

    Those handcream brands need to send you free samples and allow you to give your honest opinion and still get payed. That's how you really sell your product and help a creator out.
    I personally would not mind if you did a brand deal, Vanessa. I think all of your fans know that you're honest and that you definitely deserve some extra cash.
    You're doing such good work for these dogs so you're allowed to think about yourself too. You deserve it hon. ❤

      Try jojoba oil! It's a very nourishing and moisturizing oil, but sadly the ones sold in the market (like Bliss Kiss one) is rather expensive so I usually make my own mixture of jojoba, coconut, and argan with a few drops of essential oils. Just always make sure the jojoba is like 50% of the mixture, ideally 50% jojoba and the rest are the mix of coconut/argan/any oil like grapeseed and olive.
      You can apply this mixture on your hands and nails, put on gloves and sleep in it! Regular use of this oil changed my hands and nails, I even quitted nail biting shenanigans entirely thanks to this oil mixture! 😅
      Edit: I use this oil mixture for my hair too! Twice a week, massaged it on my scalp and hair as a leave on for 30 minutes to 1 hour then shampoo. It makes my hair soft and frizz free!

      I use udder salve in the same way. If you use household gloves for cleaning or washing dishes you can also rub in a dab or two and wipe off any excess with tissue or paper towel after a couple of minutes before you put the gloves on. It only takes a little, and udder salve is also great to put on that way before you put on winter gloves or mittens to go outside. It's great for elbows and knees, too, and for feet as well with cotton socks 🙂

    Samoyed’s were originally bred to herd reindeer for Laplander’s and Finn’s the Samoyed people live in the Arctic and used their dogs as herders for reindeer. Because they were so valuable to their families the dogs lived indoors with their families when not herding and would even share the family bed. So became much more domesticated then other arctic breeds such as Malamutes, Huskies and Siberian Huskies. They are very easy to train and tend to be much more docile then the others and are good with children. They tend to have very pleasant personalities and do basic obedience easily and well! Another fun fact is that their fur is considered to be Angora as long as it is pure white! So their fur is very valuable to weavers as the only other sources for Angora come from Angora rabbits and Angora goats!

He got so dirty in the Spring, rolling in mud, playing in dirt, digging holes to Australia, etc. The groomer happened to be just a couple blocks from my house, so I would walk him home. Every time I walked him home from his yearly pro groom, at least one person (if not multiple people) would comment on how pretty my puppy was looking. They'd ask how old is he? 7 months? 9 months?

    For your hands I would recommend using a fine oil like almond oil, rub generously Into hands and wrap hands in a warm towel. As a nail technician this is the best way to get moisture into the dermis layer of skin (the deep layer)that needs the moisture the most to repair the epidermis (outer layer of skin).
    Creams are superficial and only work on the epidermis.
    I hope this helps xx
