This breed originated from Siberia and is one of the 14 most ancient dog breeds. They were used by the Samoyed people for sledding, herding reindeer, and warmth. They would shed and their fur was used to spin and make yarn to make clothes with. Some of the signature features of Samoyeds are their black lips that curve upward giving them the nickname "Smiling Sammies", their heavily-coated upward-curving tail, limited odor, their straight outer coat, and their coats coming in white, white and biscuit, and cream. These dogs also like to bark and "sing".
