Samoyeds are playful and need lots of exercise. They love the cold outdoors. These dogs look and act happy - their black lips curve upwards so they look like they're smiling. They're very good with children, strangers, and other pets. You might have a hard time housebreaking a Samoyed, however, and they're notorious chewers. Samoyeds are working dogs. In general, working dogs pull sleds and carts, guard homes, and serve in the military. Because these dogs intelligent and capable of learning almost anything, they make excellent companions. Their very size can make them difficult to control, so they must be trained by a competent professional. Most working dogs ar pack dogs, so they're often aggressive with strange dogs and other pets.
