An ancient working breed, the Samoyed is very close to the primitive dog - no mixture of wolf or fox runs through the breed's gene pool. They have lived in Siberia with hunters and fishermen known as Samoyeds This is how the breed received its name He was developed by the Samoyede people of Siberia. These people used the dogs for herding reindeer, hunting and hauling sledges as well as guard work. The breed was cherished by these people - they even allowed them to sleep in their tents - to keep them warm and for they depended on the dogs for their survival.
Robert Scott, an explorer, brought the dogs to England in 1889.
It was in England that the breed was further developed and from there it spread throughout the rest of the world.
