9. Samoyed
Originally bred to hunt, haul sleds, and herd reindeer, the Samoyed dog breed proved a valuable companion for northwestern Siberia’s Samoyede people. Among the breed’s duties: pack hiking, tracking, and warming their owners by sleeping on top of them in the dark. Now It can cost up to $11000 per pup.
The active Samoyed isn’t suited to apartment or condo life. A home with an outsized, securely fenced yard is the most suitable option. Because the Samoyed may be a dog, he needs room to romp and play.
