Are both the Kuchi and theWest Siberian Laika certified breeds?
Kuchi (dog):  It is sometimes known as just a local variant of the Central Asian Shepherd Dog and its status as a distinct breed is disputable. West Siberian Laika:  Russian publications indicate that the term West Siberian Laika loosely applied to hunting dogs originating with the Mansi and Khanty people in Ural and West Siberia, but there were no standards or registrations of WSL as such until 1930.
