I didn't know my dog was WHITE! | Samoyed Dog 

The fact you have this level of support made me tear up! Keep going 💪

I am truly so, so happy that you have such amazing support from your puppy dog. You are so blessed!

I too depend on my dog. I have a Pakistani Mastiff who is 9 years old. He has the same instincts from being with me from 6 weeks. I have GAD, generalized anxiety disorder. He is next to me 100% of the time. He is everything to me as well. Such a beautiful story and stay well.

Thankyou for sharing this, bless you I hope you are ok. Lots of love from the Uk xxx

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.

😢❤❤❤

​@@Randi-cube What's the matter with you?

@@ThePolypamdrugs or a bot

RIP

@@Randi-cube You deleted your comment, so you know how unhinged you came across.

but landclouds aren’t usually well… touchable

​@@agamingsmiler9749 samoyed's are special landclouds

Okey

Thank you ...im the owner lol

You have done an excellent job. Your baby is adorable.

I had one, not big barkers!

Perfect description!

Best. Description. Ever!

Holy fluff.

It's important to note that not all Samoyeds are perfectly white. They often are slightly off-white. Sorta like cream or even more than that in certain parts of their coat like their ears.

@@richardashendale922, I did not know that. I wonder if the purple toning shampoo still works to whiten their coat if they’re more cream colored?

That is at least three or four cutes to imagine--too adorable!

My kinda running buddy 😂

Love it! Sounds like my sweet boy … wire hair terrier and Chihuahua.

LOL 😂

LOL

Facts 😂

There is a funny theory about the origin of the breed's name. When a Samoyed sled is moving on the snow, it seems from a distance that it is moving on its own ( сами едут in Russian)

Remember the expression "3 dog night"? Australian expression meaning the coldest of nights! And he looks like the fluffiest of blankets.😅

They were also bred to keep the men warm.. if you catch my drift. Lovely breed but it’s been ruined for me after watching a documentary on the Inuit and how they are… very close with their female dogs. 😅

aside from your bizarre insinuations, Samoyeds are not Inuit dogs; they're eastern Siberian dogs, bred for 7000 years by the Nenet people@@Althesia

​@@Althesiathat ruined my smile so fast... But it might be true who knows 🤷‍♂️

that was not a dog, that was a land cloud

That is freaking adorable🥹🎀🐶🐕🐾🥰

Yeah, he only started barking when she yipped at him to surprise him with the nail clipping. I think he decided it was okay after that.

At 11:34 you can see him leaning into the blow dryer. He's enjoying it. My sam is the same way (tries to run in front of the leaf blower every time I use it).

@@thatjeff7550 Defense Against the Bark Arts graduate!

My mini schnauzer does the same! So funny!🤪

So cool!

Wow! I would love to see that

Very Interesting!

11! Is she a musher?

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.

in my experience Samoyeds are quite obedient and behave really well in most situations.

@@xDamage69 Obedient? HAHAHA. I used to foster for these dogs, I've had a ton. I wouldn't call them obedient. They are very nice, well behaved, affectionate, but I would never call them well behaved. Stubborn more comes to mind. They are sweet dogs but they definitely have a will of their own.

@@fuzzywzhe They are like cats in dog's clothing in terms of their character :D

@@mimuiao Umm, I'd almost agree with you, but they are certainly better than cats in my opinion. But yes, they are kind of cat-like in their personality. Me: "Hey, let's cuddle!" Samoyed: "NO!" Well, end of conversation.

Well, mine had training so i guess it's that@@fuzzywzhe

My sister has two. Fortunately she lives in Northern Canada.

My dog was a good swimmer in the summer. We just had to blow dry him very well in between swims.

Think about foot protection too if it's hot.

Amen

Average temp in California is 58. So I’m thinking the dog would be ok. But if they lived in Texas as I do. Heat could be a huge issue for this breed. Just my two cents.

amen to that amen.

OMG. THE TRUTH!!!! 😂😅😂

Mood.

Girl you get it

So true 😆

Those are known as "biscuit markings" a cream colored tone and are acceptable in the breed definition AKC.

Hope you feel better soon!

Feel better soon. UK

I am in the EXACT same situation right now! The most Awful flu I've had everrrr, as of a couple days ago after my flight. First in many years. We got this though! Hang in there. This is all temporary, and staying positive makes a big difference. remember to breathe and relax as much as you can. And hopefully it helps to know someone else is in the same boat.

Jaded and @NeedMoreYarn, feel better soon!

​@@NeedMoreYarngosh I think that boat is going to be very full! This old day got the flu three weeks ago, still lingering - took my flu shot a few days before, so could've been worse! Hope you are better. Meanwhile "Girl With the Dog".

Rescuing dogs from puppy mills is such a noble thing to do and im glad those five goldies found a loving home with you!!

Surely 5 golden retrievers = 1 samoyed? I mean by the time you've groomed 5 GRs you could have groomed 1 samoyed 😂😂😂💕

​@@anaderol5408 but you can tire out the retrievers far more easily! They don’t require the intense level of grooming in my experience having a pretty lush one growing up (then again ours undid all cleaning in 5 minutes by running and jumping in a pretty green and brown pond, swimming her heart out then coming back smelling just beautiful… 😂)

Haha one Samoyed was too much so five Golden's instead! That's awesome tho, good on you for taking care of rescues. I take in reptiles and that isn't easy, multiple dogs I can't imagine! 😮

Have been owning samoyed now for four years. Taking care of their fur/coat is not that big of a deal. They are highly energetic though 😄

Glamour shot for sure!!

GP is such a sweet breed too.

Now I have nap envy.

I agree. Doggos will reflect the personality of their owner. His patience, even when he protested the clipping, was remarkable. He must be a very happy fellah.

Thank you 🙂🙂

If Vanessa endorsed a hand cream, I would never stop buying it... What a solid test!

@@meagansefner3215 I agree 100%!

I'm not a big skin care consumer myself. For computer hardware though, I trust brands that work with channels that do rigorous tests and provide honest opinions. Sponsoring Jay or GN doesn't buy a good review so they must be confident in their product and genuinely care about improving it.

​​@@meagansefner3215 I would consider buying it because my wrists and knuckles split open every winter and it's painful. I try various lotions but they don't seem to work well.

My mom swears by Neutrogena brand Norwegian Formula Hand Cream.

what finns..? these dogs are from Siberia, bred by Nenets people

Thank you for the info! I didn’t know all this and appreciate the history lesson!!!!

I was thinking the same thing. She is quick and precise and with all the wiggling.

That would be hilarious to see.

Wow!

I'm curious, did you keep it's fur more shaggy like a Sheepdog to keep the appearance that you first fell in love with or did you go for a cut best suited for poodles?

Fun fact: Poodles are water hunting dogs. The locks of their fur enable them to keep warm in cold water. They are also very intelligent (not quite like a Border Collie, but close). So he was far away from dogs with a shepherding instinct.

What a handsome doggo

❤❤❤

"Woman With the Hose" Sounds dangerous

Yep. They’re very aware but can be stubborn 😂

Yeah Vanessa is literally an angel

@@marcinwitkowski217 she seems very kind.

A beautiful way to keep her dog with her forever ❤

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'm a retired RN, & was constantly washing my hands which made them dried, cracked, & bloody in the winter time (the air is very dry where I live). I started using Aquaphor as soon as I felt them getting dry, & they no longer cracked & bled. It has lanolin & gylcerin as its active ingredients.

Oh thank you!!!

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 🙂

Working Hands works well too.

Just with his feet!

😂

😂

So true

😂

I never knew you could do that wirt dog fiber

Its done with cat hair also! Long haired cats of course...

@@deirdreevangelista856 on my sphynx cat it will not work :D

Really? How cool is that! It has always been my understanding that cat fur lacked the "barbs" that enabled the fibers to grip together to make a strand. I would love a cat wrap! Thanks for sharing that info!@@deirdreevangelista856

Hmm. Like from HERE? 😅

@@kathyflorcruz552hahaha.

I honestly wouldn’t have used that much soap.

@@geekchick4859with dogs like that you gotta use extra to get down to the skin. An experienced bather shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes for a well behaved Samoyed.

What annoys me most are the owners who do NO grooming for months then call you up mid groom, wondering why you are taking so long.. They have absolutely no idea how long just washing and drying takes, when it is done properly, let alone any of the other stuff they can't be bothered with.

I’m sure it must make the dogs feel more secure too
