🐻❄️ A bit about Felix:
Felix is a five year old samoyed from Germany and went on his first trip across Europe when he was still a baby. He is always up for an adventure, loves to explore new places and can‘t resists digging whenever he‘s at the beach or in the snow.
Right now he is on a two year wolrd trip to three continents with our vintage van Daisy. Join him on his fluffy adventures to many different countries and don‘t forget to be as happ as he his :)

Felix not drooling is actually a trait that the Samoyed has due to breeding! They were bred not to drool because the freezing temperatures in Siberia causes dog’s drool to freeze, which can hurt the dog. So the whole reason why sammies smile, is so that they won’t drool! :)
The smiling is so the drool doesn’t stick to their mouths and freeze, as these dogs typically drools a lot
@@MsBabbi well yes and no, samoyeds are bred to not drool as much as other dogs. Excessive drooling is not a breed typical thing for sammies. They salivate of course, but years of breeding has caused them to produce less drool. The smile prevents that little drool from getting out.
@@MsBabbi Yeah! If they did drool in Siberia, they would be growing stalactites! It's created that wonderful Sammie Smile.
I luv my Sammy. She always makes me laugh.
@@windfishr I'm going to correct you on this breed. It's an ANCIENT breed.
The dogs were bred in Siberia to do 3 things: pull sleds, herd reindeer, and to keep children warm at night.
Because they were bred to sleep with children, any dog that showed aggression was prevented from breeding, in other words, killed. All aggression has been bred out of them, for thousands of years.
A dog that drooled was less likely to survive in Siberia, so they were eliminated.
You can argue with the methods, but try to argue with the results. I don't condone it, but at the same time, I've had two of these dogs, and they are wonderful, if you can keep up with the shedding, which is excessive.
At the beginning of pandemic I got a male samoyed and we are so amused with his antics that we could not contain ourselves to get a female for his companion a couple of years ago. Now we have a pair of mayhem in our home. Never regretted the decision one bit.
We had a Samoyed for about 14 years. He was very sweet. Didn't have a mean bone in his body. We had a second home in the snow and he LOVED being there. He would run off every chance he got!!! He loved to run. He would pull our kids on a sled... He was very beautiful.
We had a samoyed for 15 years, sadly she died 7 months after her birthday 😢
The best part is the cuteness.
Floof
My grandparents used to breed & show Samoyeds in New Zealand. They were very well trained, didn't bark inside & only really made a lot of noise when herding their sheep! They can be very, very protective of their home & people - you had to make noise/announce yourself when you went to their house because the dogs would get very growly if they thought strangers were approaching. Sweetest dogs 99% of the time, total goofballs - and the reason I didn't know I was allergic to dogs until my mid-20s! They're hypoallergenic! OH! And! Their fur can be spun into yarn, then knitted. The softest socks EVER.
There is no such thing as hypoallergenic dogs. Its the reaction you get to various degrees. I have zero issues with long haired dogs. Poodles, jack russels give me asthma. Our pittie makes my skin itch once he starts to get dirty.
@@boop8127 The allergic reaction to dogs is (said to be) from their dandruff, not their fur. Samoyeds have almost no scent, and no dandruff. They don't shed skin.
They do however shed a lot of fur, enormous amounts.
He's beautiful, and I love the side-eye he gave when taking the socks. Very cheeky. If I were younger, I'd love to have one.
The reason samoyeds barely drool is actually because of their smile! They don't only smile because they are happy, but because it keeps them from drooling :)
But they might also be smiling cuz they're happy too
@@Youngbane1457 ofc!
My sweet Loki did the stepping in front of me once, when the neighbor (who had mental issues) came to the door and yelled at me about something. He didn't growl, but planted himself firmly between us and stared the man down. His dad saved our son from a stray dog that came racing around the corner snarling , he stayed right in front of of him and didn't chase the other dog but stayed on guard. My most favorite breed!
You explained my Sammie exactly. Definitely won’t sleep in a dog bed, hard floor is their favourite. ❤️
Yes, that is also the case with my samoyed
most of the time belly up for optimal cooling ❄❄❄
I had a Samoyed that liked to sleep in my lap in bed on his back. Nice to wake up when he did.
Mines has a dog bed but the floor is the main choice, although ever so often she goes on her bed. I trained her to use it using treats, but maybe only went there to hunt for any treats that may be lost in it. 😂
My guy is so suborn, if he doesn’t want to go home he just lies down and rolls over. Wants to sleep in the bed every night, very smart and loves adventures too.
I swear to god, this is the most authentic full of love video about this amazing breed. Well done. Give Felix a big hug from our fluffy family.
EDIT: I never take my samoyed on a leash and when ever he runs for other animal or a dog(which he does all the time), I just call him and he stops. It does require of him to use a lot of mental effort but he is a loyal dog.
I would let my Samoyeds freely chase squirrels because they couldn't catch them.
They were not allowed to chase cats.
I wouldn't describe a Samoyed as "loyal" though. Although my dogs loved me, if I took them to a bar or out to dinner, the last thing they wanted attention from, was me and everybody wanted to meet them. After all, they could get attention from me whenever they wanted, and they were fully aware of that.
I'm a 3 time Samoyed owner! Best dog ever! They are so intelligent! Cannot get another right now, to heart broken to loose them they are great souls!- 100% agree with you on your observations!
They are smart,friendly, happy dogs.
my grandma used to have samys and during 2ww she would washe and dry the brushed out fur and used it stuff blankets,they were heavier than geese down but duble as warm
I giggled so much. Felix is so handsome! He reminds me of our little girl Samoyed!!! Thank you for this! ❤️
You brought me back to happier times.
I have 2 Samoyeds and would have 12 if I had the space! They are the best!
I had two Samoyeds and they were the most lovable dogs so friendly to everyone and yes i recognise every trait you mentioned in video x
Félix es adorable 🥰 y hermoso 😍
Excelente video 👍🏻
Got a 5 year old Sammy since a year now. Left abandoned by her precious owner in Croatia. It's amazing how quick she adapted to a family live. She loves traveling, and explore things. Don't like to take her to inner city too much, with all the attention you get a 100 meters walk can take up to 30 minutes! :) Love your view on the Sammy!
Many years ago I adopted a Samoyed stray…she was one of the best dogs I ever owned. Second place was my border collie mix
I absolutely adore my Sammy
Soooo true! They are the best dogs ever🐻❄️
Yeeeees hehe 😁
Smiled during the whole video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ can wait to have my own Samoyed!!
It's so fun to watch all about Felix in one video. 😍😍
Happy you liked it! 😍
My samoyed, Lennie, is the most stubborn dog imagineable 😂 and just so cheeky but he is just so loveable, i love him to pieces. Samoyeds are such a special breed ❤
My Samoyed , she is also gentle. Love her
Thank you so much!! You really help me! 💕💕
Very similar traits - but I've not yet seen the protectiveness. I have a female that's just about to turn 7, and a male that is 6 (both neutered). I've never seen protectiveness from the male as he is actually generally more timid than the female. I've never had to worry about them reacting with strangers, generally more worried about the person than I am with them. They do bark & get excited when they see someone they like though, even indoors. My most difficult training task with them to stop them from jumping up. They don't mean harm by it, but they just want to get closer to someone. Once everything is calm, it's never an issue. The female is super cuddly. To the point where she demands it a lot, and loves to just lay anywhere with you (even the bed) for a few hours. Our male will cuddle with you for a few minutes, and that's about it - otherwise he'll just lay by your feet & be content. He also likes his own personal space more than the female. As for small animals? Oh man - it's the reason I don't unleash mine either. I've just got it trained into them (after years), that cats are OK. Birds, chipmunks, & squirrels though are a favorite of theirs, and both have gotten out of the yard at one point to chase after them.
Thank you for this video i really love samoyeds and all dogs and this helped me understand more about them
He looks like a beautiful and entertaining dog!
100% accurate for my past 2 boys!! 😂 getting a female soon for the first time, very curious to see the difference, aside from the obvious
Yay 👍
haha the way the towel was on Felix!😍
Personally, my dog doesn't drink delicately but she gets it all over the place every time for at least 10 feet /3m around and we are teaching her to grab treats more gently as she tends to want to eat fingers with it 😂
I just love Felix, so beautiful...have subscribed to his channel too now...Muah love him !
Nice video. I have a samoyed to. It is funny to see how much Felix charactre looks like our Sammy. I really enjoy your posts on Instagram/TH-cam.
I absolutely love this video!! Also I can't believe how similar Samoyeds are to Westies 😂😂😂 Our Westie dog Sami is very much like Felix, same stubbornness, same independence and he also talks to us, haha! Great job, guys, I can't wait to see your future videos ❤
Such a lucky puppy and such lucky parents. This is a really well made fun video, you guys should've have ton of more subscribers on here!
not me taking screenshots 🥺♥️
very good video❤️ I also love them❤️
Felix!!!!
your pup is so cute!!
It's too good❤️
I can relate completely 🤣
Felix is very cute, im waiting for my samoyed allready 4 years but we have to move out first
Echo is a samoyed with blue eyes and exactly how you have described it in this video, the only difference is that he barely barks. He howls sometimes that’s about it. !
Awesome video :-)
A very good dog breed that reminds me of my childhood
I love your channel so much :-D So many similarities with my pup as well lol
Such a cute dog, solidified my want fro one, thank you... reminds me so much of our 14yo siberian husky we sadly lost 2 months ago
New subscriber here from the philippines❤️
Grew up with samoyeds. We ended up with 7 and two half samoyeds.great dogs
Wowww my lovely dog
I love these dogs I have several. Save money for grooming and it's worth it.
Beautiful looking dogs. I have a husky and we accept that dog hair is a food group.
Felix in TH-cam😍😍 Pawesome
😍😍😍
I had a big male, Kovic (would not have named him that now) and I loved having a Samoyed companion. You are right he thought he was one big lap dog!!! He was rarely off-lead in open spaces for good reason. Walking from the car to the house he was usually good; we had done it a thousand times! One day he paused and started walking away, I called him, and he stopped and turned to look me and had this look on his face and I knew. Bamm he was outta of there! LOL It took me an hour to catch up while he thought it was a big game in the park 3 blocks away. I finally caught him when he was close and I ran away from him and as he buzzed by me I literally lept onto him as he went by! Whew! He just grinned isn't this fun! What can you say at that point? They are a fun breed, but not for off-lead! I miss him. Thanks, brings back nice memories.
Great video! Thanks for sharing How about their traits with furniture in the house, like sofas, wall skirting, cables etc?
This video is awesome, as are the comments 😊 Thank you!
I have a samoyed them are the cutest
we dont have one ... but we want one
I have Samoyed boy Casper he’s 2 years old
He doesn’t bark much and doesn’t howl at all, he loves attention and also needs a lot of family time and play time so we try to give him that as much as possible
He doesn’t like to travel in the car that much so we only take him when necessary, he can stay at home for some time and he doesn’t cause any distractions when he’s alone
We also have 4 cats and he’s super friendly with them and very gentle and he doesn’t treat them as toys or prey so he never chases them when they run around. He also adopted this understanding when he sees a cat outside he won’t chase it he just might have a general interest as he’s very friendly.
He is extremely friendly to both humans and other animals. He never growls or barks at other and always ready to play and say hello
He does shed a lot during seasons and throughout the year , it’s a non stop process.
He is also very big, he’s 37 kg last time we weight him and very fluffy, he has enormous mane like a lion so his upper body looks even bigger.
Despite of such big size he’s a grown baby and always cuddly , sweet and gentle
I honestly cannot say anything bad about this breed if I judge by my dog.
Our whole family loves him
Wanted to add after completing the video: Casper also very picky eater, he doesn’t eat dry dog food no matter what brand, he doesn’t eat even the best wet dog food unless I hand feed him.
So we feed him raw diet and he can also eat cooked meats and chew bones, he loves bones so I get him some bones from the butcher.
He never touches our things, like sleepers or our clothes, he knows what are his toys and he only plays with those.
He is very obedient but sometimes can have a mind of his own so I train him every day on walks for patience and obedience to listen to my commands and follow them. He needs a lot of active play and exercises so we take him off leash often, he needs at least 20 minutes of active play and running a day. So I train him not to run away from me, stay on a spot if I tell him without a leash even if I walk away, not to approach other dogs unless I allow, walk next to me without a leash right by my side. He’s very trainable with treats, he loves treats and I give him a treats when he does the right thing and also a lot of praise.
I just remembered one things I find very difficult with him- clipping his nails, it’s impossible to clip his nail, I tried myself and with various groomers, he’s just scared when you clip his nail and acts dramatic. So I bought a pet nail grinder and he lets me use that with some encouragement and lots of reassurance as he’s still scared when I touch his nails and paws. Even things like trimming the hair on his paws is difficult as he’s afraid of it. And we never had an accident or hurt him he just doesn’t like it.
The rest of the body I can groom however I like, he’s chill with brushing, trimming and baths. And yes one more thing- many times his behind gets dirty after the toilet, he has a soft stool sometimes but even with normal stool the poop stains his fur when travels on the way down. So we have to wash his bum with the garden hose almost every second time after he poops😁
So only those 2 things I find difficult with him
Samoyed dad to be here. I can't wait to meet my baby girl
@@it_butters_the_bean2343 9 months ago. She is here with me. Thank you for your wishes
Strongly considering a Sammy for my next pup! I spent a decade with a Malamute and it seems he has many of the Malamute traits but with half the challenges. ;)
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍So gorgeous
100% accurate on dog beds, by our third Sammy we just gave up and let him sleep by our feet in our bed. Got tired of kicking him out
Me also have a samoyed and it's funny that my cutie Boy have almost all Charakter traits that are mentioned in the Video. My favourite is stealing socks and being so careful eating Out of a Hand. 😂🥰❤️
Regarding him apparently loving to run away; we have resorted to attaching GPS tracker to our dogs' collars, mainly for emergencies as we usually walk with them in forest areas, and once they spot something the hunting instinct just kicks in and they are off. At least the tracker helps us find them again. Only one got properly lost once, but that was where the tracker really paid off, as we knew where to look for him.
5:00 good boy!!
Let me know if you travel to Denmark. I also have a Samoyed (Nora) - which could be amazing to meet up with Felix! :)
OMG it’s you
all good 👍🏾
This video really makes me want my friend to get a samoyed
I have one 😊❤ your pupy is cute 😍
Y Sammy sleeps with me, doesn't dig and hardly bite on things when a pup. She also catches toys in air. Smart dogs. Sheds 2x a year have to keep them brushed. And yes mine will take off very quick too. I had her chipped. Good luck.😊
Samoyed the best dog!
A lot of dog owners don’t understand this breed because they are so friendly, vocal and not boring. My Sammie is a girl, males and females are slightly different. She is very stubborn, will eat anything, but she’s smart and learns quickly as long it’s something fun it’s Abu nice of treats. 😂
She’s so gentle but very vocal, she’s territorial of her boundary, but can never be a guard dog as she loves everyone and only wants attention. She doesn’t smell, an occasional burp, that doesn’t smell and I have never heard her fart 😂
She’s coming up to five in a month and has calmed down but very minor. She is so not patient and will literally be vocal unitl she gets what she wants. Crazy kid but I love her just they way she is. ❤ xxxxx
Thank you so much for you video, everything you said is sooooooo true and real. This is exactly how mine act like. They are so cute and I wish I could take him everywhere, however, he gets too excited and barks a lot outside, as you mentioned, some people might find it annoying and scary. So I am still trying to overcome this and hope I could take him anywhere like you. I have one question, when you take him on the plane, does he sit with you or he will be in to cargo? Thanks and Felix is super adorable.
Wir haben auch einen Samojeden. Er pupst nie, er rülpst nur :-D
I think some of the traits mention here might be specific to felix. I seen some samoyed who are not picky with food and extremely friendly that they cannot be relied as a protector
Somoyed: I look like a polar bear but I’m like a cat
Lol when she said Felix I thought of Felix of stray kids
we have had 5 adults and a littler of seven puppies last year, we currently own three Samoyed's. If you ever come to Ireland you are welcome to meet up with them :) they are very good breed, one of there main purposes was to herd rain dear (most of ours don't go for small pray but when they see dear there gone! And the other and reason we chose this breed in the first place was they were also babysitters ! Never met a more attentive and genteel dog with children their like nana form peter pan! Our first bitch would herd my 4 year old sister away from danger keep here safe/ follow her everywhere. Never hurt here even wen Abby was to rough with her and even bounce dogs twice her size ( I mean literally go chest to chest and bounce them) if they were to rough around Abby. No rough housing the baby on her watch. Never aggressive UNLESS you were a threat to a baby. (tis fair enough!) you can also spin there wool and its something crazy like 80% warmer then sheep's wool!
That is so sweet
❣❣❣
Accurate except for 8 hours alone, I'm on my third Sammy, they can be a little destructive at first when you leave them for long periods of time, but usually when they hit 1, they are fine to be left at home while you work. Never had a probably in 30+ years working and owning Sammies
I wish we knew we don’t need a dog bed before 😂
Our Samoyed destroyed his beautiful bed because we were to persistent putting it where he sleeps, while he was pulling it away. In a couple of weeks he went out of patience and ripped it into pieces 😂
Wow! My dogs personality is so similar to your dog! But the only difference is that my dog is a Akita Inu.
Ich habe keinen Samoyeden, aber einen Zwergspitz (sieht etwas aus wie Felix in sehr klein :p) und ich kann die Punkte fast alle nachempfinden.
9:15 🥺
Dogs bred to act on their own instincts are not stubborn they are independent. He sounds like many of the LGD breeds.
Ours is 85lbs! he is such a tank,
Predivan Samojed
J'ai l'impression d'entendre parler de ma samoyède ! Par contre, je peux la faire promener sans laisse depuis quelques mois.
I guess not all Samoyed are the same. My dog will eat anything. He’ll eat a brick if I gave it to him. He also bit all my fingers off trying to hand feed him. I’m literally typing this with my elbow. I still wouldn’t trade him in for anything.
How do you tak him to countries without quarantining?
I recently rehomed a male Red Siberian Husky named Max. Mad Max's muzzle and body are a bit wider than a typical male Husky. So I did a DNA Test. Max is 66.3% Husky, 20% Malamute, 8.4% Samoyed, & 5.3% German Shepherd. So Max is 94.7% Siberian and 5.3% German.
do you have problems with your samoyed about bites? My samoyed always tries to bit my ankles and I am a little bit scared haha
Eurasiers are really similar in temperament! (They are part samoyed, so no wonder!)
If you have any other dog smaller or bigger does that mean you can leave them be for longer times and will it help there health?
Aaaawwwwww
How did u travel by plain ?
