The Samoyed is known as the "laughing cavalier" beaming on everyone. Having a smile from ear to ear. It is extremely rare to have a bad tempered animal. He is not a big eater for such a solid dog and is also fairly obedient. He rather tends to be vocal. This most striking of breeds is medium and well balanced, strong, active and graceful. He should be free from courseness but capable of great endurance. The dog is intelligent, alert, full of action with a "smiling expression].

Size: Height - dogs - 20 -22 inches, bitches 18 -20 incheS

Weight in proportion to size.

Colour - Pure white, white and biscuit, cream, outer coat silver tipped.
Coat - the body should be well covered with thick, close, soft and short undercoat, with harsh but not wiry hair growing through it, forming weather resistant outer coat which should stand straight away from its body and be from curl. This thick coat takes a lot of physical effort to keep it at its best but that effort is well worth the considerable time which has to be expended.
