With its small but noticeable raised corners of the mouth, the Samoyed dog breed is one of the friendliest, good-natured dogs and is generally quite hard to come by. Therefore, your best chance would be to speak with a reputable dog breeder if you were interested in purchasing or adopting a purebred Samoyed puppy.
While there might be many uninformed, unethical, or both breeders out there, there are also experienced breeders who have one purpose in mind: to breed healthy, physically and socially healthy dogs that adhere to the breed standard.
In this guide, we have included a list of registered Samoyed dog breeders in the Australian capital territory and surrounding areas and advice on protecting yourself while purchasing from a breeder online.
The Safe & Responsible Way To Buy Samoyed Puppies Online In Canberra
The safest way to protect yourself online from unscrupulous sellers is to ensure that they have a Breeder Identification Number (BIN) or a Breeder Registration Number (BRN).
By law, every dog breeder in Australia must have a BIN number to sell their puppies online or even at dog shows. In Queensland, however, registered dog breeders are issued a Breeders Exemption Number (BEN).
The importance of this number can save you from being taken advantage of. Any breeder will be happy to share their BINs with you, which you can verify on the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC) website.
