Often mistaken for their fellow white canine breed, the Japanese Spitz, Samoyeds’ extra thick coat of fur, sturdy build, and signature smile give them their trademark look.

If you are a big dog lover like me, who took 3 attempts to visit as I missed their last entry time at 8pm, or someone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city with the big smiles of Samoyeds, Winters Village Samoyed Cafe is definitely a place to keep in mind when in Seoul.

The Samoyeds are pampered by the staff and have incredibly soft fur that could be mistaken for clouds. Keep in mind that the fluffers will be more interactive with the staff since they are their caretakers but don’t be shy to ask them questions about the doggos.
