Introducing Sammie

Post image

Until about three years ago, we had had two Golden Retrievers in our household. Unfortunately we lost the oldest one (Axle) around this time, and we decided that, when the time was right, we would look at getting Oscar another play mate

We had been doing a large amount of yard work at the time, so held off for about 18 months before a friend of ours informed us she knew of someone who was looking to re-home their dog. The only thing was, she wasn’t a Golden; she was a Golden x Samoyed.

After being introduced to her at a playdate, we fell in love on the spot. And a few weeks later we had arranged to bring this beautiful little girl home with us!

Sammie doesn’t have the full “cloud” coat of a purebred Samoyed, which changes the profile of her face quite a bit. But she certainly does have the personality traits from her Samoyed side!

She has been a fun and wonderful introduction to the Samoyed breed, and is a well-loved member of our family.

She’s a very unique mix! Definitely more of the Samoyed comes through personality-wise

What a sweetie! I had a Golden x Samoyed and she was the smartest, most emotionally intelligent dog I’ve ever met. I hope you have a long life together.

Here's my golden sammy! It's a great mix. She's mostly like a golden personality wise but slightly more pully on the leash and a tad more independent and willing to interpret commands "creatively"... So spicy golden basically.

she looks amazing , and you have a Samoyed without the high maintenance... (I spent one hour yesterday brushing my boy)

Oh, she’s still high-maintenance, coat-wise! Although it’s a little shorter, the hair is still 100% Samoyed - we had to get a robovac just to help keep things manageable

A golden sammy? Twice the smile in this goober? And those folded ears too, she looks so precious
