The Samoyed is a Russian-born Spitz that is also used as a sled dog. It also needs a lot of training and exercise.

This medium-sized dog is characterized by its soft, thick coat, which can have different light color variations. The most sought after, however, are the pure white animals from old Siberian breeds, which can cost up to $9000

USD. Other types of Spitz that are more suitable as family dogs, such as the Pomeranian Dwarf Spitz, are currently enjoying great popularity.
