ABOUT US |
|
I've owned samoyeds for 22 years or so but only recently became interested in showing and breeding(7 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. 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 can assure you I only breed occasionally and only when the breeding has the potential to improve the breed. 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.
