The history of the Samoyed dog
This breed of dogs is ranked among the most ancient, and its origins are fanned by many different versions and legends. It is believed that these quadrupeds for more than one millennium were faithful companions of the northern tribes.
The first information about the breed appeared in the Samoyed language (the language of the Samoyed group of peoples). These peoples are the ancestors of the Nenets, Ngasans and Enets. This is due to the fact that the Samoyedians, in the 1-2 millennia, left their native lands near the rivers Yenisei and Ob and began to live in the polar region.
Due to the fact that the Samoyed dog is very similar to the polar wolf, there is a version according to which the Samoyeds could domesticate the wolf.
The aboriginal Samoyeds were excellent assistants to their masters: they herded animals, were faithful companions in the hunt, and also nurses for children. Yes Yes! Samoyeds are wonderful nannies. This is explained by the fact that often parents left their children in plague for the night along with dogs, which, like "live coats," warmed them from the cold.
