Nenets Laika

It can get confusing due to the fact that the same dogs were called by Russian-speaking and English-speaking dog handlers and still are called differently. A primitive native Nenets Laika (formerly called Samoyed Laika), from which breeders in the West made a charming cultural samoyed and now live in the tundra of northern Eurasia. But English-speaking people, unlike Russian-speaking people, call the native breed Nenets Laika and the cultural breed Samoyed dog - Samoyed.
