I got to looking at dogs and the Samoyed makes the top ten hypo-allergenic dogs...though they, also, claim there is on such thing. I have had a shih tzu and a bichon frise. the neighbors up the street have Samoyed, but I never knew the breed until today. They were friendly...they would be out late at night in the winter and would wait for me to come around the block every night (about a dozen times) and bark...when I said their name they would just walk along with me....they had/have an invisible fence. We were nighttime buddies. the description says their face always looks like they are smiling. I talked to the owner over the summer and when the older one died the younger one was despondent and went to live at their daughter’s house in the country and is happy there. they occasionally dog sit, but I rarely see her anymore. the male died of old age.
Yes..the “Samoyed Smile” is a well known trait to those who have had them.
My Linda is part chow. I have already burned out two vacuum cleaners!
Much as I hate to say it, there are no hypo-allergenic dogs or cats-it just isn’t logical. I know how much you love dogs-has the allergy thing gotten so bad that you are looking at breeds that are supposed to be less allergy-provoking? If so, that sucks and there is no justice in this world...
My Sheltie doesn’t kick up my allergies like most dogs. Their fur is more hair like.
