Spinning Samoyed dog fur into yarn

I've been asked about spinning some dog fur.
The Samoyed fur is really soft. Like most dog & cat fur it has a very short staple. It feels like alpaca or angora (rabbit) in that it makes a yarn which has a good halo but isn't bouncy or elastic like sheep's wool.
I made a few short samples using different methods. A short draw produced the most smooth and even yarn, but this was a firmer yarn that wanted to be quite fine, a lacey 2-ply or 3 plies for something a bit more substantial. As with downy fibres a long draw worked well and produced the softest yarn.
Heres a sample of knitted fabric. It's very fuzzy and like the dog is gonna shed a bit!

I have some waiting to be spun so this is interesting. I have spun some 500g of Shetland pony foal fur recently and it looks very similar.

Samoyeds are simply adorable. They can be your closest bet to a fluffy stuffed toy. They also have very minimal of that doggy odor you’d usually find in most dogs. If you are interested in getting one, learn more about it from this very informative article I found: http://dogsaholic.com/breeds/profiles/samoyed.html
