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.
History of The Breed
Northern Siberia, with its immense open frozen plains, was the home of a Mongol race of people called Samoyede. They were a very hardy race, yet good-natured, who lived a very nomadic life. They hunted and trapped food and moved according to the availability of fresh moss for their herd of reindeer.
These migratory keepers of reindeer owned “Bjelker” (white dogs that bred true) which they highly prized for the tasks they could perform. A Samoyed dog could be called upon to guard the ‘choom’, assist with bear hunting, haul sledges when required, pull boats along and across streams on the tundra and of course herd the reindeer, which was his first and most important task for the family.
