About
The Samoyed dog breed is a medium-to-large working dog originally from Siberia, bred by the Samoyede people for herding reindeer and pulling sleds. Known for its thick white coat, friendly expression, and constant smile, the Samoyed is one of the most beautiful and affectionate dog breeds in the world. In India, it is gaining popularity but requires special care due to climate conditions. Samoyeds are friendly, gentle, and highly social dogs. They love being around people and are great with families and children. They are intelligent and playful but can be a bit stubborn, so early training is important. They are not good guard dogs as they are friendly even with strangers.
The Samoyed price in India typically ranges between ₹60,000 to ₹1,50,000 depending on breeder quality and lineage. Monthly maintenance costs range from ₹8,000 to ₹15,000 due to grooming and care needs.
