The picture to the left is by Vladimir Beregovoy, from his fascinating report, The Aboriginal Samoyed Dogs of the Yamal Penninsula. It details his jouney with the native people from whom the Samoyed breed came. His observations provide insights into the breed that help deepen our understanding of our own dogs --who are not so far removed from their Arctic nomadic origins. This is a must read.
