For the betterment of the breed.

The Samoyed is an ancient breed originating from Russia and much admired for its beautiful white coat, smiling face, happy disposition and general good health.

THE SAMOYED IN SLEDDING

There are several sledding clubs within New Zealand that would welcome Samoyeds as sled dogs and specialist suppliers of the equipment required. A good starting club for advice is the NZ Distance Sled Dog Club that is based in Palmerston North.
