Well, that’s gonna take a long time, right?

@unicycle can I get a look?

@abhinnav yea, but I'd say it's worth it in the long run

@unicycle you sure it would be fine? I read somewhere that samoyeds along with a few other breeds don't do well in warm climates

@internet it sure is worth it.

@internet I'm not an expert in the breed or anything but I've heard of Samoyeds being fine in places like Arizona because they have a double layer coat that's more protective than most dogs. If you're seriously interested then you should see if there's a knowledgeable Samoyed breeder in your area who can give you better information.

@unicycle That's great news, thanks a lot! imma look into it more

And here I was thinking you could potentially shave the dog to help keep it cool, but it sounds like that could be counterproductive

lol i have a sammy and I live in a hot place

@internet I'm almost certain you can get a Samoyed, my friend has too and I live in Australia which is literally an oven majority of the year. @unicycle pretty much said it all but their coats, similar to Husky's (which you can also keep in warm climates) are like insulation so in winter they keep the dogs skin warm whereas in summer it protects them from the sun and traps cool air closer to the skin. Unlike Husky's, Samoyed's fur is white so naturally reflects the sun anyway, they're pretty much a dog version of a polar bear. Also DO NOT SHAVE THEM!!!! Dogs made for warmer climates have a very specific coat that needs to stay long so it can insulate properly, shaving them isn't gonna kill them but it screws up their natural temperature regulation, also they look heaps weird. As long as you brush it often, keep it out of the sun on hot days and ensure you research a bunch before getting one there should be no problem.

How about you head to your local dog shelter and adopt a fluffy pal that needs a home? Who knows, maybe they'll even have a samoyed.

@parisqeen that's great to hear, and I'll definetly research before getting one

@chakun yea that's what I'm probably gonna do, its always better to adopt than to buy pets

I am summoned?

solve the problem you are smart

Well.... I agree with @chakun and @parisqueen- you shouldn’t shave most dogs or cats, unless under very specific circumstances. And I believe that adoption or rescue are the best ways to get a pet, although going to a REPUTABLE small scale breeder who is knowledgeable and skilled to ensure genetic diversity and minimize risks of genetic issues within a breed and someone who doesn’t just mill puppies or let dogs smash once in awhile and sell the babies when they happen. For the temp... You’ll find plenty of people who will tell you about owning a Sammy in hot climates, tropical climates, heck, one of the top US breeders is in Arizona, a desert state. However just like with food, “hot climate” means different things all over the world, and you’ll find that 80f in the Philippines and 80f in Los Angeles don’t feel the same hot. That said- Sammie’s can survive hot weather and just may not like it much. It becomes critical to make sure they have lots of water and a place to cool down, and...

... to watch them for signs of overheating when out. They need shaded areas outside, AC inside, it’s nice if you have a pool or even a kiddie pool or a sprinkler or something for them (in the shade) and while some are perfectly fine as outdoor only dogs in the heat- they really shouldn’t be. They are bigger dogs, and as a working spitz they tend to be intelligent, clever, willful, and need lots of exercise and engagement. If you have the things above, you should be fine. If you do not, then climate isn’t the main reason to not have one- it’s just simply your lifestyle isn’t optimal for one. Now- don’t everyone get upset. It’s up to a pet owner to decide for themselves and not all pets live “optimum” lives and may be or seem perfectly happy. I also applaud OP for their consideration of the animals comfort and feelings.
