Samoyed people relied on their dogs for their existance, they trusted them, loved Samoyed dogs and treated kindly and respectfully.
Considered as one of the oldest breeds of dog, Samoyed dog was isolated within the northwestern region of Siberia in the Arctic Circle for many years so that this breed is one of the most natural ones (close to primitive dogs – without admixture). It never suffered the selection process. When polar expeditions discovered this frozen dangerous part of world (in 19-th century) they found out Samoyed dog looking right the same as it is looking today. Such famous explorers as Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amudsen recruited Samoyed dogs for their own expeditions. Indeed, the first animal to reach the Pole was Samoyed dog!

It’s white wolf? Isn’t it?”
People don’t know this perfect breed but nobody can stay indifferent to it! Such interest can be explained by the fact that unlike the other breeds Samoyed dog has remained very much the same in appearance and temperament as the native Samoyed dog of last centuries Siberia.
