Publisher's Synopsis
Samoyed dogs have an exciting history dating back 1,000 years. The Samoyedic people of Asia relied on dogs for hunting, herding, and keeping them warm at night in Siberia. The Samoyed was recognized as a registered breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1906, and American pet owners quickly fell in love with the smiling canine. Samoyeds are highly intelligent creatures that demand a lot of exercise and care from their owners. They are working dogs at heart, but they are also extremely affectionate and devoted.
