origins
The Congress of Soviet Cynologists in 1947 established standards for four breeds of Laikas, three of which are already recognized by the FCI The name Laika is not originally a breed name, but comes from Russian [Russian: lajatj , : to bark], characterizing the particularity of the Laika to immobilize the game and to bark for a long time until the arrival of the hunter. They are widespread throughout Russia, from the Kola Peninsula to the Far East, and in recent years increasingly in other European countries. The Russian-European Laika is closely related to the Karelian Bear Dog.
