THE HISTORY |
The
Samoyed is considered the most beautiful of the Nordic dogs, its history is
fascinating like the one of the people where the name comes from: the Samoyeds.
This nomadic
people, located in North Russia, on the East side of the Mounts Urali and on
the West side of the Yenisei river, continuously searching for food and
pastures during their moving,
were always with a very capable, intelligent and resistant dog, who was
naturally very loyal.
The race was kept in great consideration from the Samoyed people, who, as primitive selection criteria, avoided that the females coupled with wolves or other types of dogs, as instead happened for other dogs.
The
character of the Samoyed is very special.
They
are dogs of great intelligence and personality, with particular sensitiveness,
which the owner must never forget.
Thanks to its great sensitiveness, the Samoyed learns what it is asked it easily and is a very pleasant mate inside a family, very affectionate and suitable for kids.
