BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY
: The name Samoyed derives
from the Samoyed Tribes in Northern
Russia and Siberia. In
Southern parts of the area they
used white, black and brown
parti-coloured dogs as reindeer
herders ; in the northern parts
the dogs were pure white, had
a mild temperament and were
used as hunting- and sledge
dogs. The Samoyed dogs lived
close to their owners, they
even slept within the shelters
and were used as heaters. The
British zoologist Ernest Kilburn
Scott spent three months among
Samoyed Tribes in 1889. Returning
to England he brought with him
a brown male puppy called « Sabarka ».
Later he imported a cream
coloured bitch called « Whitey
Petchora » from
the western side of the Urals
and a snow white male called
« Musti » from Siberia.
These few dogs and those
brought by the explorers are
the base for the western Samoyed.
The first standard was
written in England in 1909.

The expression, the

the slightly curved up corners
of the mouth. The sex
