SAMOYED
(Samoiedskaïa Sabaka)
ORIGIN : Northern Russia and Siberia.
PATRONAGE : Nordic Kennel Union (NKU).
DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL VALID STANDARD
: 22.07.1997.
UTILIZATION : Sledge- and companion dog.
CLASSIFICATION F.C.I. : Group 5
Spitz and
primitive types.
Section 1
Nordic sledge dogs. Without working trial.
BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : The name Samoyed derives from the Samoyed Tribes in
Northern Russia and Siberia. In Southern parts
of the area they used white, black and brown parti-coloured dogs as reindeer
herders ; in the northern parts the dogs were pure white, had a mild temperament and
were used as hunting- and sledge dogs. The Samoyed dogs lived close to their owners, they
even slept within the shelters and were used as heaters.
The British zoologist Ernest Kilburn Scott spent three months among Samoyed
Tribes in 1889. Returning to England he
brought with him a brown male puppy called « Sabarka ». Later he imported a cream coloured bitch called
« Whitey Petchora » from
the western side of the Urals and a snow white male called « Musti » from
Siberia. These few dogs and those brought by
the explorers are the base for the western Samoyed. The
first standard was written in England in 1909.
GENERAL APPEARANCE : Medium in size, elegant,
a white Arctic Spitz. In appearence gives the
impression of power, endurance, charm, suppleness, dignity and self-confidence.
The
expression, the so called « Samoyed Smile », is made up of a combination of
eye shape and position, and the slightly curved up corners of the mouth. The sex should be clearly stamped.
IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS : The length of the body
is approximately 5% more than the height at the withers. The depth of the body is slightly
less than the half of the height at the withers. The
muzzle is approximately as long as the skull.
BEHAVIOUR AND TEMPERAMENT : Friendly, open, alert
and lively. The hunting instinct
is very slight. Never shy nor aggressive. Very social and cannot be used as guard dog.
HEAD : Powerful and wedge-shaped.
CRANIAL REGION :
Skull : viewed from the front and in
profile only slightly convex. Broadest between
the ears. Slightly visible furrow between the eyes.
Stop : Clearly defined but not too
prominent.
FACIAL REGION :
Nose : Well developed,
preferably black. During some periods of the
year the pigment of the nose can fade to a so called « winter
nose » ; there must however always be dark pigment at the edges of the nose.
Muzzle : Strong and
deep, approximately as long as the skull, gradually tapering towards the nose, neither
snipey nor heavy and square. The bridge of the
nose is straight.
Lips : Close fitting,
black and rather full. The corners of the
mouth are slightly curved forming the characteristic « Samoyed Smile ».
Jaws/Teeth :
Regular and complete scissor bite. The teeth
and the jaws are strong. Normal dentition.
Eyes : Dark brown in
colour, well-set in the sockets, placed rather apart, somewhat slanting and almond-shaped. The expression is « smiling », kind,
alert and intelligent. The eyerims are black.
Ears : Erect, rather
small, thick, triangular and slightly rounded at the tips.
They should be mobile, set high ; due to the broad skull well apart.
NECK : Strong and of medium length with a proud
carriage.
BODY : Slightly longer than the height at the
withers, deep and compact but supple.

defined.

length, muscular and straight ; in females slightly longer than in males.

and long, reaching almost to the elbows. The
ribs are well sprung.

carried bent from the root forward over the back or side, but may be hanging at rest, then
reaching to the hocks.

in males. On head and on front of legs, hair
is short and smooth ; on outside of ears short, standing off and smooth. Inside the ears should be well furred. On back of the thighs the hair forms trousers. There should be a protective growth of hair between

RASEBESKRIVELSE
FOR SAMOJEDHUND
Gruppe: 5 spisshunder
FCI rasenr: 212
FCI dato: 22.07.199
Opprinnelsesland: Nord-Russland og Sibir.
Hjemland: Norden.
Helhetsinntrykk:
Middels stor, elegant, hvit arktisk spisshund.
Dens vesen gir
inntrykk av styrke, utholdenhet, sjarme,
smidighet, verdighet
og selvsikkerhet. Øynenes form og plassering og
de
opptrukne munnviker gir det typiske uttrykket,
det såkalte
«samojedsmilet». Tydelig kjønnspreg.
Viktige proporsjoner: Kroppen ca. 5%
lenger enn mankehøyde. Brystdybden en
aning mindre enn halvparten av mankehøyden.
Snutepartiet
omtrent like langt som skallen.
Adferd/ temperament: Vennlig, åpen,
oppmerksom og aktiv. Svakt utviklet jaktlyst.
Aldri redd eller aggressiv. Meget sosial og
anvendes ikke som vakthund.
Hode: Kraftig og kileformet.
Skalle: Sett forfra og fra siden bare svakt
velvet. Bredest mellom ørene.
Stopp: Tydelig, men ikke for sterkt
markert. Ubetydelig markert
pannefure.
Ansiktsregion: Nesebrusk: Stor, helst sort.
Til visse tider kan nesebrusken være avbleket (snønese/vinternese), det skal dog alltid
være mørkt pigment langs kanten.
Snuteparti: Kraftig og dypt,
omtrent like langt som skallen og smalner
jevnt og svakt mot nesebrusken; hverken snipete
eller grovt. Rett neserygg.
Lepper: Tilliggende, sorte og
noe fyldige. Munnvikene litt opptrukket,
hvilket gir det rasetypiske såkalte
«samojedsmilet».
Kjever/tenner: Regelmessig
saksebitt med kraftige kjever og tenner.
Komplett tannsett.
Overkjeve:
6 fortenner (incisiver), 2 hjørnetenner
(canintenner), 8 forjeksler
(premolarer), 4 jeksler (molarer)

6 fortenner (incisiver), 2 hjørnetenner
(canintenner), 8 forjeksler
(premolarer), 6 jeksler (molarer)
Øyne: Mørkt brune,
dyptliggende, plassert relativt langt fra hverandre, noe skråstillte og mandelformede med
et «smilende», vennlig, våkent og intelligent uttrykk. Sorte øyelokksrender.
Ører: Stivt stående, relativt
små, tykke, trekantede og med avrundede ørespisser, bevegelige, høyt ansatte; p.g.a.
den brede skallen plassert langt fra hverandre.
Hals: Sterk, middels lang, stolt
reisning.
Forlemmer: Helhetsinntrykk:
Velstilte og muskuløse, kraftig benstamme. Sett forfra rette og parallelle.

tett inntil brystkassen. Omtrent like lang som skulderbladet.

skråstillet.

og kompakt, men smidig.
Manke: Tydelig markert.
Rygg: Middels lang, muskuløs
og rett. Tispens rygg kan være noe
lenger enn hannhundens.
Lend: Kort, meget sterk og
markert.
Kryss: Bredt, kraftig,
muskuløst og svakt avfallende.
Bryst: Bredt, dypt, langt og
når nesten til albuene. Ribbena godt velvede.
Underlinje/buk: Svakt
opptrukket.
Hale: Temmelig høyt ansatt. Når
oppmerksom eller i bevegelse bæres halen bøyet forover i en bue tett over ryggen og ned
over en av hoftesidene. I hvile kan halen bæres hengende og rekker til haseleddet.
Baklemmer:
Helhetsinntrykk: Sett bakfra
rette og parallelle med meget kraftig muskulatur.
Lår: Middels lange, relativt
brede og muskuløse.
Knær: Godt vinklede.
