In larger dogs, hind legs are well angled at stifles and hocks and, if viewed from behind, slightly cow-hocked. Feet of the aboriginal Samoyeds are neither cat or hare. They are elongate, with long well arched toes and strong hard pads and nails. Females come in season two times per year and not fixed with any season. Number of puppies per litter ranges from three to seven.
Bitches are excellent mothers.
If whelping takes place in spring or summer, they can make their own den for whelping and take care about their puppies without any intervention of people. However, if whelping takes place in middle of winter, the bitch and puppies may be taken inside. Purebred pure aboriginal dogs, if fed quality food, have erect ears before age of eight weeks. Aboriginal dogs of Nenets bark very well and often. Barking is heard quite often when dogs are excited, herding deer or treeing small game.
