Samoyeds may have originated in north western Russia, but these beautiful dogs can now be found around the world.
Their big smiles, friendly personalities and trademark coats make them a firm favourite with dog lovers.
Samoyeds were used by nomadic people in Russia for centuries to herd and hunt reindeer.
Nowadays they make great companion canines – they crave human company and love to socialise with new dogs and people.
