Samoyed Books

If you are thinking about getting a Samoyed either to show, work or just as a pet
please, please read at least one good book on the breed first, to make sure that they really are the right breed for you
and that you are the right owner for them!

There is far more to a Samoyed than just being an eye catching dog.

These are some of the books that I am personally glad to have purchased and am happy to recommend.
