Samoyeds need to be washed rarely, and usually by a professional groomer. This is because they need to be dried for a long period of time to prevent matting and tangling in the under coat that can cause infections.

What are the health risks to look for with a Samoyed Husky?

User Avatar

Asked by FamilyGyLvr

Purebred Samoyeds can have health problems such as Samoyed Hereditary Glomerulopathy (a renal disease), hip displaysia, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetes.

Purebred Huskies can have eye defects (juvenile cataracts, corneal dystrophy, progressive retinal atrophy), and dogs used for sled races are more prone to develop health problems such as gastric disease or bronchitis. There is a very low occurrence of hip dysplaysia in this breed.

A mix between these two breeds could have any combination of these health problems.

What is a Samoyed husky?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Siberian Husky is a is a medium-size, dense-coat working dog breed, which originated in north-eastern Siberia, Russia.

Genetically, they belong to the Spitz family.

The Siberian Husky was originally bred to pull loads across ice and snow. They are a hardy, high energy breed which frequently sheds due to their thick protective coat. They are generally white and grey, sometimes with one or both eyes being blue. They are recognized by all Kennel Clubs and are similar to the Alaskan Malamute, Canadian Eskimo Dog and Samoyed. They require at least 2 hours exercise a day to keep them happy (this is a breed which can run for miles and miles in freezing conditions on very little water and frozen fish).

There is a difference between the show Huskies and racing Huskies, which actually compete and work. Show Siberians tend to be smaller, while the racers have longer legs and are larger overall.
