Shaggy dogs that the world has gone crazy for. A small number of people actually know the origin and strange name of the race. Some call them “white huskies”, “white wolf” or “laughing dog”, because of the specially stretched lips, like a smile.
It originates from Russia, where a nomadic tribe from northern Siberia was called the Samoyeds, and when the race was created, the name was adopted, although it was originally called the Samoyed Sabaka. The legend of the Samoyeds says that the Samoyed tribe originated in Central Asia more than 3,500 years ago. They lived with their dogs, which were not white, but yellow, like sand. Due to the invasion of numerous enemies, they fled with their dogs through Mongolia and reached the ice-bound Arctic. The dog’s fur begins to fade in the Arctic sun and becomes snow-white. That is when the Samoyed as we know it today was born.
The tribal people used this breed to hunt deer, then they decided that they were also suitable for sledding. From their fur, which falls off due to the thick undercoat, they made clothes and shoes. Fur traders brought the “smiling Sammy” to England in 1889, and since then he has become one of the most sought-after breeds. Many forget that this dog was created for colder landscapes and harsher climates, which is extremely pleasing to him, and it is difficult to get used to temperatures higher than 15 degrees, due to the double coat. This dog with almond-shaped eyes and extremely shaggy, soft fur has become very popular around the world. He was even hired for advertising purposes.
