AND indeed, when comparing a Samoyed dog and a polar wolf, similarities are definitely discernible – the possibility of living in extremely cold conditions, unpretentiousness in food, thick white (or creamy) coat. But such an origin – only one of the versions. According to other versions, the Samoyed dog is a descendant native Nenets huskies (deer Spitz), ancient inhabitants cold tundra. For centuries, these dogs have guarded the plague. the inhabitants of the North from the wolves, helped them during the hunt, accompanied in impassable snowy wilds.
