BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : This breed was established by crossing the closely related Chanteisker and Mansijaker strains of Laiki with the dogs of the Russian hunters of the Northern Ural and Western Siberia. Apart from the native stock in the areas where hunting is practised, this breed is widely distributed in the middle zone of Russia, where there is a big number of these dogs producted at large breeding establishments. In quite a few hunting areas there are special kennels for the breeding of West Siberian Laiki.
