History

The Samoyed (pronounced Sammy-Yed) were a tribe of people in Siberia who originally called the breed Bjelkiers. E. Kilburn-Scott, an English pioneer of the breed chose the name Samoyed to honor the people from whom the founding stock was obtained. The word samoyed is literally translated into “Living off themselves.” Some reporters interpreted this as implying cannibalism, but most believe the truer implication to be one of self-sufficiency — a nomadic people who managed to live off the land by their moving about.
