There are numerous good books about the Samoyed with “The Samoyed (New Zealand)” by Mrs Val Auckram and Mrs Pearl Wilson very much a collector’s item for the breed historians.

The Samoyed in print

Books are very often the first point of contact for potential dog owners and in this context the breed is well served. Almost without exception, any general dog book which lists dog breeds will list the Samoyed and, because the breed is so photogenic, very often a photograph will accompany the text. Those readers wanting to learn more about the breed will find there are books catering to virtually every aspect of Samoyed ownership, breeding, care, history, grooming, management, pedigrees and even cartoons.

Recording the history of the breed for posterity is essential and provides the most readily available link with the breeders of the past and their dogs. By comparing today’s dogs with those of yesteryear breeders can assess the breed’s progress, or lack of it, and this can stir them to new heights of ambition.

Some of the books listed are out of print but can be located in public libraries, while others are available direct from their publishers, from breed clubs or from second hand bookshops.

For instance a second hand bookshop in Wellington currently has both editions of The Samoyed (New Zealand) available (incidentally, the previous owner of one of these was Betty Young - breeders/exhibitors from the 1970s will recall the name).

The internet is a great source for second hand book sellers and online auctions such as eBay and Yahoo often have second hand or remainder books listed at reasonable prices.
