The undercoat typically sheds heavily once or twice a year, and this seasonal process is sometimes referred to as 'blowing coat'. This does not mean the Samoyed will shed only during that time however; fine hairs (versus the dense clumps shed during seasonal shedding) will be shed all year round, and have a tendency to stick to cloth and float in the air. The standard Samoyed may come in a mixture of biscuit and white coloring, although pure white and all biscuit dogs are common. While the breed may produce fewer allergens, care should be taken for severe allergies. This page was last edited on 22 May 2020, at 09:57 (UTC).
