Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's Samoyed Dog Is Reportedly Living The High Life: All About The Breed

Hot on the heels of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce getting married comes the news that they reportedly have a new addition to the family — a dog! The recently spotted fluffy fur baby is already stealing the spotlight, with the assumption being that it's a Samoyed based on the limited glimpse that's been given while the pup was getting off a plane with Kelce (per USA Today).

Owning a dog would be a public departure for Swift, who has largely been associated with her cats who lead amazing lives during her astronomical fame, but according to reports, the Samoyed is already living the high life. In fact, the all-white pup supposedly eats human-grade pet food prepared by a chef and travels with the high-profile couple on their private jet (per Star Magazine).

Of course, just like seemingly everything else Swift touches, expect interest in the Samoyed dog breed to explode once the four-legged newcomer is confirmed by the newlyweds. So, to get ahead of the game, here's a look at the breed.

Samoyeds are known as cloud-white bundles of joy, famous for their big, fluffy coats and seemingly always smiling faces. Friendly, affectionate, and social, the breed outwardly loves everyone they meet and is seen as both intelligent and playful, often keeping their puppy-like energy well into adulthood.

Originally bred to herd reindeer and pull sleds in subarctic Siberia, Sammies — as they are affectionately called — are often high energy and need plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation. Despite that, or maybe because of it, they form strong bonds with their families and don't like being left alone, earning a reputation for excessive digging and barking if they become bored. They also boast thick double coats that keep them warm, so they are prone to heavy shedding and need regular brushing.

A typical adult Samoyed usually weighs 35 to 65 pounds, but don't let all that fluff fool you; they're strong, athletic pets that can easily pull up to twice their body weight when full grown and healthy and much, much more when properly trained. As a family pet, though, most owners are smitten with their beautiful looks, puppy-like playfulness, and eagerness to be involved in everything. They are perfect companions for active families and owners who can give them the loving attention they crave.

Before bringing home a Samoyed, it's important to understand that this fluffy breed is a major commitment. They require active owners who enjoy daily walks and plenty of playtime that give them the physical and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and stave off destructive boredom.

Samoyeds are very people-oriented and love being part of the family, so expect them to be clingy and need to go out on both big and small adventures with you, as they don't do well when left alone. Beyond that, they also have an independent nature that makes proper training and socialization a must.

Meanwhile, while gorgeous, their white double coat comes with plenty of brushing to be done, as they shed, and can make a real hairy mess during coat-blowing season. Their bright white fur can also stain around the eyes and mouth, so regular grooming, occasional baths, and routine nail care are needed to keep them looking their best. While Samoyeds may be high maintenance, their owners will usually tell you they're worth every ounce of effort.
