The origin of Samoyed's name? Does the owner know? In fact, the Samoyea is one of the oldest dog breeds in Japan, dating back hundreds of years. The earliest recorded reference to Samoyets in history dates from about 782 AD, when it refers to "Samoyets", the general name for ancient Japanese dog breeds. Later, several different types of samoyas appeared in ancient Japanese texts, all dating back hundreds of years. The Samoyed was originally bred as a hunting dog, but over time it also became known and loved as a writer's pet.

The reason why the Samoan dog has such a name is that this dog was domesticated by the Samoan people of Siberia, so it was named after them, at that time, pulling sleds and guarding reindeer were its main job.

The history and legend of SAMOYED dogs begins in the Iranian highlands: long ago, the strong tribes drove the weak tribes far away. The tribes that had been driven out had traveled north, across China, to the vast tundra between the White Sea and the Yeseni River, and these were the Samoyed, the earliest inhabitants of the Seates.
