Pit Bull Samoyed Mix
A Pit Bull Samoyed mix is a cross between a Pit Bull and a Samoyed. Most grow into large dogs of 40–70 lb and live 12–15 years.
Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Pit Bull Samoyed Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Pit Bull Samoyed Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 18–21 inches at the shoulder, against 17–19 in for the Pit Bull and 19–23.5 in for the Samoyed.
Pit bull is a type, not one AKC breed. Size figures use the American Staffordshire Terrier standard.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.
The Pit Bull rates moderate and the Samoyed low; a puppy may lean either way.
A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.
Temperament
The Pit Bull is usually described as confident, smart, good-natured. The Samoyed as adaptable, friendly, gentle. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
