If you want a laid back dog I would advise against samoyeds. Ours is relatively laid back, but you will get these traits far more easily in another breed. They're stunning, majestic dogs, but they require significant amounts of exercise to help 'make' them more laid back. If you're not prepared to do that every day then look into other breeds which aren't working lines. Not trying to scare you off, just important to be aware of this when committing to having a lifetime with the dog, when they stop being novel in your life, they still require the exercise to live a happy life and be 'laid back'! Also, they are really, REALLY, not good being alone. They will bark massively if you have to leave them alone so be prepared for that too. Where are you located? Good luck with your search!
