Due to their breed, Samoyeds feel more heat than ordinary dogs, but they are not susceptible to heatstroke. They are only likely to suffer from heatstroke if they are exposed to the sun for a long time. Samoyeds raised indoors generally do not suffer from heatstroke because they are very smart and will look for cool places to take them with them; if Samoyeds are raised outdoors, the owner should put the dog in a cool place to avoid prolonged sunlight. Exposure over time can lead to heat stroke.
