a creature not to be compared with any other for it is truly a being unto itself.Such a creature is the beloved Samoyed, possessed not only of beauty of body but of the heart as well, fully conscious of the significance of its heritage of loyalty, compassion and understanding. And equally conscious so I believe, of the ageless purity of its breeding.</div> <bR> <div> The breath-taking, heaven-lit whiteness of its coat reflecting infinite, inward warmth; the unmatchable contrast of black nose and lips and pink tongue; the depth of soft, dark eyes pregnant with gladness and humour, as well as with wisdom and comprehension the ever present, unobtrusive, freely -given companionship; a manner at once eager and dignified; all these are remarkably combined in this child of the Arctic. </div> <bR> <div> That such a one could be the product of a raging storm, of bitter cold, and of relentless, never ending struggle for existence is a miracle that each of us could well take to himself. Should not the ultimate result of our own hardships, strivings and hopes be an equal beauty of spirit, a like enthusiasm for life?</div> <bR> <div> Can we do less than match the compassion, eagerness, wisdom, the joyous participation in living. If, to the stranger to the breed, these words so clearly expressed by the gorgeous Samoyed seem to be braggart exaggeration, proof is available to all. Bring to your home and heart a Samoyed and you will add your tribute to this end, in common with the rest of us, you will strive to find adequate words but will not be able to do so. And you, too, will thank fate for leading you to this exemplification of love, devotion and beauty.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#99CCFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="11643e3c0.gif" border=0 width="62" height="60" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> A breed of the far north, non-manmade but ever-man serving.  The Samoyed is known for his "smiling face".  He is very friendly to people and other creatures, a true social butterfly. He is affable but as a true "nobleman" he never loses self-respect. A good Sammy never shows a needless aggression unless ill raised or treated and is always full of comprehension and genuine affection for his family and friends. A Sam shadows every change of his master's mood and is his soulmate - though holds affection for all mankind. The Samoyed dog presents a wonderful union of independence and obedience, playfulness and seriousness, friendliness and self-reliance. Taking into account the vivacity of this "fair-haired angel" you'll be surprised to know that he never loses the sight of his master and is ready to follow him without any reminding.  A beloved member of every family the "Sammy" has a special affinity for children - he never tires of staying with them. He is always ready to play with them, to heat them with his warmth and even to defend them from any danger.  Never a guard dog, though extremely loyal - the Samoyed is unquestionably one of the finest purebred Companion breeds in the world.</div> <bR> <div>    <IMG SRC="121790110.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="273" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </div> <div> <B> </B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 450 ><NOBR><bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="685" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#FFCC80 > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 374 WIDTH="673"><div> <B>Our Goals as Samoyed Breeders:</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>***</B> We strive to breed vibrantly healthy dogs as close in <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#CC0033" FACE="Arial" >conformation</FONT> and <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#CC0033" FACE="Arial" >temperament</FONT> to the <A HREF="http://216.234.53.130/Default.aspx?tabid=137&Breed_Code=SMY" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://216.234.53.130/Default.aspx?tabid"><U><B>Breed Standard</B></U></A> as possible, combined with the stamina and soundness needed for proper historic functional expectations of the Samoyed.</div> <bR> <div> <B>*** </B>We believe that every litter should be bred with a goal in mind: <B>first</B> to produce the best pets having good health and temperament suitable as family companions; <B>past that</B>, to be good show dogs having the characteristics of accurate representatives of the breed including valued working traits; and, <B>finally</B> to glean the very best of these as breeding stock to ensure continuance in the next generation of quality.</div> <bR> <div> ***We are custodians of the breed's wellbeing, and while breeding within bloodlines/families carefully selected for their attributes of true type, soundness, and robust health - we maintain a goal of keeping the breed in the fine condition it was passed to us in via a healthy respect for hybrid vigor in our breeding program via importing and exporting the best dogs from the best kennels worldwide.</div> <bR> <div> <B>***</B> We put a strong importance not only on these things, but on the dog's intelligence and 'heart'.
