Brilliant white fur and a wolfish demeanor mark the Samoyed as a distinctive breed. Hailing from Siberia, Samoyeds were sled dogs before they were the fashionable upper-class pets they are today. They are friendly, playful dogs who can be a bit high-maintenance. So how much green for a coat so white?
