The lion cut is one of the grooming styles available for samoyeds. Talk to your groomer about whether this style suits your samoyed's coat type and lifestyle.
188 real salon photos show what Australian groomers do to samoyeds — 49% de-sheds, and unlike huskies, 1 in 9 does get scissored. What that means for your dog.

Read the guide →The lion cut on a Samoyed is tailored to the breed's thick, fluffy double coat coat. Ask your groomer for photos of samoyeds they've groomed in this style so you can see what to expect.
Most samoyeds need their lion cut refreshed every 6-8 weeks. Their coat mats easily, so regular brushing every 2-3 days between grooms is essential.
A lion cut for a Samoyed typically costs $100-$160 in Australia, depending on the salon, location, and coat condition. Matted coats often incur surcharges of $10-$30, so regular grooming keeps costs consistent.
Brush your Samoyed thoroughly at least 3 times a week — daily during coat blows. Use an undercoat rake to reach through the dense coat. Never shave a Samoyed. Keep the coat clean and dry to prevent hot spots.
