Why are Samoyed so expensive?

Can you explain to me the reasons behind the high prices of Samoyed dogs? Are they a rare breed? Are there specific traits or characteristics that make them more desirable and therefore more expensive? Is there a particular demand for Samoyeds in certain markets or regions? How does the cost of breeding and raising a Samoyed compare to other dog breeds? Is there a significant investment in marketing and promotion that contributes to their elevated price? I'm curious to understand the various factors that contribute to the high cost of owning a Samoyed.
