Summary
About Samoyed
Medium, strong Arctic spitz bred by the Samoyede people to herd reindeer, pull sleds, and share family tents. Noted for its “Samoyed smile” and heavy, low‑odor double coat. Social, energetic, vocal, and intelligent, it needs close companionship, firm positive training, and ample exercise.
About Spanish Mastiff
Large, powerful livestock guardian, calm and observant yet strongly protective. Quiet and laid back at home if well exercised, deeply loyal with family and usually reserved with strangers. Independent and thoughtful, it suits experienced owners with space, structure and early socialisation.
