The Nenets Herding Laika (Russian: Ненецкая лайка) also known as the reindeer spitz or olenegonka, is an aboriginal spitz landrace of dog originating from the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, in Russia. Unlike other laikas, Nenets Herding Laika are less commonly used for hunting. Instead they have been selected primarily for reindeer herding ability, originally by the Nenets people, and later by reindeer herders through Russia.^[1]^[2]^[3] Nenets herding laika are thought to be the progenitor of several modern breeds, the most well-documented being the Samoyed.^[1] Despite this, the breed almost died out during the Soviet era due to lack of interest in preserving genetically purebred examples.^[3]^[4]^[5] In 1994, the Russian Kynologic Federation (RKF) approved the first official standard of the breed.^[4]^[6]
