Tips and tricks for selecting a Samoyed 1. Samoyed males should appear masculine in appearance without unnecessary aggression; and Samoyed females should have a delicate appearance but not appear weak in temperament. Both male and female dogs appear to have great stamina in appearance, but not rough. 2. Samoyed puppies should have a body that is not long but muscular; and require a very deep chest with well expanded ribs, a neck that must be strong, a straight forequarters and a very strong waist. (Note: Samoyed females can have a slightly longer back than males) 3. A good Samoyed leg should be long enough. Since the Samoyed has a deep chest, the legs should be long enough; and a Samoyed puppy with very short legs is very bad. 4, a good Samoyed puppy’s hindquarters should appear very well developed, with moderately sloping hind knee joints, and any problems with the hind knee joints or cow limbs are a serious deficiency. 5, like the curly-haired Bichon, the Samoyed has a double coat, with the body covered with a short, dense, soft, flocculent The body is covered with a layer of short, dense, soft, flocculent, close to the skin of the undercoat, phi is through the undercoat of thicker and longer hair, phi is erect on the surface of the body, never curled. Phi hairs around the neck and shoulders to form a “scarf”. The quality of the coat is related to the ability to withstand all kinds of weather, so quality is more important than quantity. A sagging coat is undesirable.
