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 Stabyhoun
The Stabyhoun is a rare Dutch farm and gundog: medium‑sized, athletic, with a silky feathered coat that sheds seasonally. Gentle, sensitive and people‑oriented, it suits active families, needs daily physical and mental work, and is generally healthy when responsibly bred.
