What was the former name for the vast inhabited environment now known as the Sakha Republic?

Answer

Yakutia

The indigenous peoples of the region, where the Yakutian Laika was forged over millennia, reside in the Sakha Republic. This expansive territory, characterized by its extremely harsh continental climate and severe winters, was historically referred to by the name Yakutia. This older designation reflects the deep historical roots of the breed within that specific geographical and cultural setting before modern administrative changes.
