to Samoyeds by Terry Campbell and Gail Campbell. TFH, 1998.
Written by breeders of the Tega Samoyeds, who have competed successfully
in the conformation ring and in working activities, the book starts
by addressing the issues of dog ownership in general and Sammy requirements
in particular. With sections on training and husbandry are included
a very brief history of the breed as well as information on dog sports
including dog shows. There are many excellent color photos. Despite
being light in breed history, and some failures in copyediting, this
is an excellent guide for anyone considering purchase or adoption of
a Samoyed, and will also assist first-time owners in getting started
with their new dog.

- "Blood, Sweat and
Cheers to Study Hypothyroidism". In: Dog World, December
2008, volume 93, issue 12, pg 8. Short article on the "Blood, Sweat
and Cheers" campaign to collect blood from healthy Keeshonden,
Alaskan Malamutes and Samoyeds
to determine breed-specific normal thyroid levels for these breeds,
which may have a lower "normal" level of thyroid hormone than
other dogs in general, resulting in healthy dogs of these breeds being
removed from breeding programs and receiving unneeded medications.
- "Independent origin
and restricted distribution of RPGR deletions causing XLPRA" by
B Zangerl, JL Johnson, GM Acland and GD Aguirre. In: Journal of
Heredity July 2007, volume 98, p 526-30. Haplotype analysis
of 6 different canidae looking for an interval connected to a form of
X-linked progressive retinal atrophy in dogs suggested that the mutation
is a fairly late development in the affected breeds, thus probably limited
in distribution to the breeds in which it has been found (Siberian
Husky and Samoyed).
- "Canine diabetes mellitus:
from phenotype to genotype" by B Catchpole, LJ Kennedy, LJ Davison
and WE Ollier. In: Journal of Small Animal Practice, 6
July 2007. leukocyte antigen typing of 530 diabetic dogs and more than
1000 healthy dogs in the UK found three specific haplotypes associated
with canine diabetes, with the strongest association a haplotype common
in diabetes prone breeds, including the Samoyed, Cairn Terrier, and
Tibetan Terrier, but rare in breeds in which the disease is uncommon
(Boxer, German Shepherd Dog and Golden Retriever). The authors note
there is evidence that one of the alleles of this same haplotype has
also been associated with hypothyroidism, suggesting that this allele
could affect susceptibility for multiple canine immune-mediated endocrinopathies.
- "Analysis of candidate
susceptibility genes in canine diabetes" by AD Short, B Catchpole,
LJ Kennedy, A Barnes, N Fretwell, C Jones, W THomson and WE Ollier.
In: Journal of Heredity, July 2007, volume 98, p 518-25.
Noting that canine diabetes is considered a disease homologue for type
I diabetes in humans, and that the Samoyed is at high risk of developing
the disease while Boxers have a low risk, the authors studied 483 cases
of canine diabetes and 869 healthy dogs of known breed for assiciations
with certain genes, with frequencies determined for each breed in the
study. The genes already known to be associated with human diabetes
were also found to be associated with canine diabetes, confirming canine
diabetes as an excellent model for studying human type I diabetes.
- Identification of susceptibility
and protective major histocompatibility complex haplotypes in canine
diabetes mellitus" by LJ Kennedy, LJ Davison, A Barnes, AD Short,
N Fretwell, CA Jones, AC Lee, WE Ollier and B Catchpole. In: Tissue
Antigens, December 2006, volume 68, p 467-76. The differeng
incidences of diabetes in different breeds of dog suggests a hereditary
susceptibility to the disease in dogs. This comparative genomic study
was to determine if dog leucocyte antigen class II haplotypes are associated
with diabetes, as they are in humans. The association was found, indicating
a possible canine model for genetic susceptibility in humans.
- "Canine diabetes mellitus:
can old dogs teach us new tricks?" by B. Catchpole, JM Ristic,
LM Fleeman, and LJ Davison. In: Diabetologia, October
2005, volume 48, issue 10, pg 1948-56. The authors suspect a genetic
component to susceptibility to diabetes, noting that some dog breeds
seem predisposed to diabetes, including the Samoyed, Tibetan Terrier
and Cairn Terrier,
while others, such as the Boxer and German
Shepherd Dog, seem less susceptible. There appears to be an association
with susceptibility to diabetes in at least one dog leucocyte antigen
haplotype. A canine equivalent of human type 2 diabetes is not known.
Autoantibodies to insulin, recombinant canine GAD65 and/or canine islet
antigen-2 are found in some newly-diagnosed diabetic dogs, suggesting
autoimmunity is involved in the pathogenesis in some patients, and the
late onset and slow progression of beta cell dysfunction in canine diabetes
resembles latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult in man.
- Canine Inherited
Disorders Database, "Samoyed"
by Alice Crook, BSc, DVM, Brian Hill, DVM, MS, DACVIM, and Sue Dawson,
BA, PhD. Joint project of the Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre at
the Atlantic Veterinary College, the University of Prince Edward Island,
and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, 1998, rev 2004. This
website is included as a rare electronic resource in this bibliography
generally confined to print resources because it is authoritative, timely,
and important. A listing of genetic diseases to which the breed is prone.
- "Frequency of and
risk factors associated with lingual lesions in dogs: 1,196 cases (1995-2004)"
by MM Dennis, N Ehrhart, CG Duncan, AB Barnes and EJ Ehrhart. In: Journal
of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 May 2004,
volume 228, p 1533-7. Retrospective case series study of diagnostic
reports of lingual biopsy specimens from 1,196 dogs evaluated from January
1995 to October 2004. The authors found that large-breed dogs were at
increased risk for melanoma, and that Samoyeds also have an increased
risk of squamous cell carcinomas.
- "Prevalence of the
breed-related glaucomas in pure-bred dogs in North America" by
Kirk N. Gelatt and Edward O. MacKay. In: Veterinary Ophthalmology,
March 2004, volume 7, issue 2, pg 97. A retrospective study of instances
of glaucomas in dogs, with data collected over an eight year period
for breed, gender, and age of onset. While glaucoma appears to occur
in most breeds at a rate similar to that in humans, the rate in some
breeds is significantly higher, with 22 breeds showing a prevalence
of glaucoma greater than 1%. This concentration of glaucomas indicates
a possible genetic basis. Among the breeds that showed a predominance
of glaucoma in bitches was the Samoyed.
- "Retrospective evaluation
of sex hormones and steroid hormone intermediates in dogs with alopecia"
by LA Frank, KA Hnilica, BW Rohrbach and JW Oliver. In: Veterinary
Dermatology, April 2003, vol 14, p 91-97. Report of a seven-and-a-half-year
study to determine if steroid hormone aberrations are involved with
alopecia in dogs who do not have hypothyroidism or hyperadrenocosticism.
276 dogs of 54 breeds were tested, and 73% had at least one steroid
hormone level higher than the normal range. Of these, Keeshonden,
Pomeranians and Siberian
Huskies stood out with a high incidence of aberrant results, while
the breeds with the lowest incidence of elevated hormone levels were
Chow Chows, Samoyeds and Malamutes.
The authors concluded that alopecia may not be connected to steroid
hormone levels.

incidence of diabetes mellitus, with incidence adjusted for the proportion
of a given breed to the total study population. Samoyeds were found
to be at high risk for developing the disease.

- "Genetic polymorphism
and close linkage of two plasma protein loci in dogs" by RK Juneja
and T Shibata. In: Animal Genetics, 1992, volume 23, issue
2, pg 143-50. Two codominant, autosomal alleges (F and S) were found
in a study of an unidentified plasma protein (PA4) in 967 dogs of 43
breeds. Interestingly, many middle- and north-eastern Asian breeds (Akita,
Alaskan Malamute, Chow
Chow, Samoyed, Siberian Husky,
and Tibetan Terrier) showed a substantial frequency of the S allele,
while a majority of European breeds carried only the F allele. The PA4
locus was found to be closely linked to the plasma pretransferrin 1
locus (PRT1), but the significance of this protein remained to be determined.
