Since ancient times, this breed lived with a Siberian population named the Samoyeds. For centuries they used a beautiful white dog to help them in their daily activities: hunting and fishing.
The Samoyede people were peaceful and extremely loving with their dogs, treating them as family members, as a result, the Samoyed dog became very lovely and trustful with humans. As nomads, the Samoyed people used their dogs to pull sleds.
Samoyed dogs were brought out of Siberia (to England) in 1889 by the explorer Robert Scott. This is when the breed started to be known and spread throughout the world.
