The Samoyed is what happens when a snowball and a stand-up comedian have a baby. With their signature “Sammy smile,” these dogs radiate joy — usually while stealing your mittens or barking at invisible squirrels. Bred to herd, haul, and cuddle in sub-zero temperatures, they are equal parts workhorse and drama queen. That glamorous cloud-like coat? It sheds year-round and contains enough fluff to knit a sweater daily. Samoyeds love people and will happily insert themselves into any conversation, especially if it involves snacks or compliments. While they’re smart, their independent streak means they may respond to commands with a cheerful “nah.” Always busy, always vocal, and always adorable, the Samoyed is your best friend — and your most fabulous roommate.
