ABOUT US |
|
I've owned samoyeds for 24 years or so but only recently became interested in showing and breeding(8 years ago). I started showing in obedience and moved on to conformation with my foundation bitch Chynka. I am a firm believer in obedience training for all dogs, but they also need to have fun and sammys really need a job of some sort. All of my dogs become certified therapy dogs and frequently come to work with me. I am working toward a working samoyed title with Chynka and Stanya currently, they are doing therapy work, pack-hiking, herding and hopefully will be starting to skijor and possibly sled ding. I love the fact that a sammy is a dog that can do it all. I breed a litter occasionally and only when I think it would potentially benefit not only my breeding program but ultimately the breed as a whole. When I have a litter the pups and mom are in an enclosed area in my family room, thus providing a protected area for the pups (to comfort the mother) yet be exposed to the day-to-day noises of life. I live on 2 1/2 wooded acres with about 3/4 acres fenced in for the dogs to run (and run they do!) . My dogs live in the house with me and are my “kids”. All of my dogs are crate/kennel trained but are in the family room with me when I’m home. They all are socialized from an early age in a multitude of situations. My older puppies come to work with me in preparation for therapy dog certification. I also have agility equipment in the dog yard so they are exposed to that from day 1. I am also actively involved with Siberian Huskies. While you will hear from people to be wary of breeders that are involved with multiple breeds, rest assured I have studied both breeds for years. I will also add I consult multiple well respected breeders with years of experience before I move forward with any breeding. I have been asked if I will breed my Samoyeds to my Siberians and the answer is ABSOLUTELY NO….I love each breed for what they are. My goal is to produce excellent examples of the 2 breeds I have chosen to work with, not to ruin what several generations of carefully planned breeding have worked so hard to create.
