Samoyeds are, in general, a very gentle and peaceful breed; too peaceful, in fact, that they’re not very reliable as watch dogs, although they let out a bark when a stranger approaches.
While they are generally friendly with everyone, they tend to be very devoted to just one person. Samoyeds are also a very intelligent breed and responds favorably to firm and patient training.
However, they have a reputation for being chewers and can become very destructive when left alone.
