The howling was not in the description
My Samoyed is wonderful in many ways but the howling surprised me. He howls when he is excited, when he hears certain music, when he disagrees with a decision, and sometimes for reasons I cannot identify. We live in a semi-detached house and my neighbours have mentioned it. We are working on it with a trainer and making progress. If you have close neighbours this is worth researching carefully before choosing this breed.
