The Samoyed dog is an excellent athlete and is used in sports like sled races. It must be educated with patience and firmness. His beautiful white coat requires intensive care, especially in the young ages and the time of molting. Also this dog needs large spaces for running and exercise.

It's smart, loving, enterprising, and affectionate but stubborn and arrogant, so it will not always be obedient. The Samoyed is not a good guard dog because it is very friendly.
