Contemporary Samoyeds are direct descendants of the dogs domesticated by nomadic Samoyed tribes.
These white fluffy polar dogs imported by Europeans from tundra became participants of the heroic quests for the North and South Poles.
The breed standard officially points out that:

• • "The first dog to set paw on the South Pole was the Samoyed named Etan, the lead dog of Roald Amundsen's team in 1911".
• • "When he saw Antarctic Buck, Jack London exclaimed: 'This is the finest dog in the world!!!'"

This site features photographs of contemporary Sammies and dogs of the past; here, you will see the best Ukrainian Samoyeds and obtain detailed information on the breed.
We are always happy to welcome friends, aficionados of the breed, and all prospective Samoyed owners.
