Samoyed growls when he doesn't get enough attention

This person is looking after Willow for a friend while they are on holiday. On this particular day she had a headache and decided to go and lay down as her children were being very noisy in the other room. Willow decides this is not normal for her to be on the bed at this time of day and decides to join her. Willow won't leave her alone by pawing and tapping her arm until she gives him attention. But when she tried to ignore him after a while he resorted to trying to talk to her!

Samoyeds are known as affectionate family dogs, though they often bond closest with one person in the household. These dogs need to be with their people, and when left alone too often or for too long, they can become lonely, depressed, and destructive.

While very friendly and smart, the Samoyed can be challenging for novice owners. He’s a vocal dog, and he needs to be kept busy and active to prevent undesirable behaviors. He also has a strong hunting instinct and will give chase after small animals, including cats.

The Samoyed is one of the world’s oldest dog breeds. His lush white coat is his most outstanding physical feature. These dogs wear a happy expression affectionately referred to as the “Sammy smile.”

If you’re thinking of adding a Samoyed to your family, be sure to check your local shelters and rescue organizations for adoptable dogs.
