The Bear Samoyed itself is an independent dog breed, based on the Eskimo dog. It was recognized by the dog industry organization after purebred breeding by the father of the Samoyed. Its purebred Samoyeds have strict evaluation standards, including height, weight, limbs and other characteristics.

The hybrid Samoyed will have other dog breeds mixed in its blood. Blood and appearance may also differ from purebred Samoyeds.
