hey i just wanted to say that other ID called dolby a russian spitz cuz it's an alternate name for samoyeds! i can't find a good source at the moment, but i think i heard samoyed is a derogatory term in another language? which could be why the other IDer might've been hesitant to use it; but i don't know how common this knowledge is :'D
UR LITERALLY RIGHT THANK U FOR TELLING ME...
#i originally looked up russian spitz and was like this is a fully dofferent dog bc the first few images were like little guys??#but i went back and read the wikipedia (fascinating) and its the same guy!!!#idk abt derogatory but it does say the name comes from an ethnolinguistic group in siberia so to be honest spitz is probs a better term#thank youuu :]#ask#anonymous#okay upon further wikipedia reading it literally is a derogatory term its just also the term for that group of languages :( fucked up#Samodeic is i think what ppl r trying to use as a replacement#getting lost in the linguistics sauce on wikipedia again
