Samoyed Breed Maintenance
There is no getting away from the fact that their beautiful thick coat brings with it extensive grooming needs. They shed heavily seasonally, but the thick coat needs frequent brushing to keep it from matting, or from getting debris trapped in the dense coat. In warmer climates, their dense coats need to be checked for ticks or fleas, as these dogs are not complainers and will not let you know if they have a health problem. This hiding of their illness probably stems from the fact that if they were shown to be ill, they might get attacked from the rest of their pack. The coat tends to stay white without bathing, and they only need a bath if they have rolled in the mud or in something that smells unpleasant. They are energetic dogs and love to run around, so they will need daily exercise to keep them mentally and physically healthy. Good maintenance practice would include ear and eye checks to ensure good health, and nail clipping if the nails grow too long. This breed is unsuited to life in a very hot climate.
