The Samoyed is a beautiful, elegant dog breed that hails from the cold, snowy regions of Siberia. These dogs were originally bred to help hunt and herd reindeer, but they're now better known as loyal, loving family pets.

The medium-sized dog weighs around 35-65 pounds. They're easily recognized by their thick, white coats, which are actually made up of two layers: a soft, fine undercoat and a longer outer coat of guard hairs, which are harsher and courser.

This double coat insulates the Samoyed against the cold and helps protect them from UV rays, making them ideal dogs for snowy climates. While they originated from the cold North, surprisingly, they can still live in regions with warmer climates.

Females typically shed two times a year while males shed once. The outer coat can also serve as a shield against the hot sun.

In this post, we will look at a Samoyed named Momonosuke, who recently went viral when his owner posted a video of him on Twitter. It was the first shedding season for the dog and boy, not only was the family surprised by the experience, but also the folks on the internet.

In particular, they were surprised by what the shed fur looked like.

If you're looking for the perfect dog that best describes the term "floof," the Samoyed is definitely one of them.

Look at how fluffy his fur is! Momonosuke surely is a floof.

The owner took a video while one of the family members was pulling out the shedding fur from his body.

The owner holds out a bunch of fur. It looks like a pulled out piece of cotton candy.

They collected Momonosuke's fur and showed it on the video.

Users were pleasantly surprised at the sight of the bunch of fur. Comments started pouring in, and most people said that it looks soft and delicious.

One of the perky responses was about Momonosuke looking like a cotton candy manufacturing machine. If only it were true!

Momonosuke is clueless.

He doesn't know where the cotton candy-like fur came from. Then he starts smelling the bunch.

Maybe he realized it's from him!

Watch the videos of the fur-shedding Samoyed that broke the internet.

If a sheep's fur can be used to make different things, maybe the Samoyed's fur can be used to produce something too! We wonder what Momonosuke's owners will do with all those fur.

As you can see from the videos, Samoyeds shed a lot.

According to experts, these dogs are among the heavy shedders, along the level of the Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, and Newfoundland. Although, they don't really shed the whole year.

During fall, these floofs will begin shedding the lighter coat to prepare for winter. The process is necessary so that they can have a coat thick enough to prepare them for the winter.

Then during spring, they will shed the thicker coat to replace it with something suitable for the warm weather of the summer. If you want some more Samoyed goodness, you can follow Momonosuke on Twitter!
