We breed samoyeds
The Samoyed's History
Hardy, vibrant and even-tempered, the Samoyed was originally used to hunt,
herd reindeer, and haul sledges for the Samoyede people they served in
northwestern Siberia. The Samoyede tribesmen were peaceful nomads, who
manifested extraordinary love for their beautiful dogs, treating them as members
of the family. Thus their dogs developed a love and understanding of humankind
and an unfailing sense of trust and loyalty which is retained in the breed to
this day. They remain the delightful playmates and faithful protectors of
children.
Samoyeds were brought out of Siberia at the end of the 19th century and the
early part of the 20th century to pull sledges on Arctic and Antarctic
expeditions. These valiant dogs endured terrible hardships serving man in his
quest for the poles. Only a few returned. Clearly, no toy or miniature version
of the Samoyed breed could have performed those tasks. Only one breed is the
powerful, gentle, magnificent Samoyed- a true working dog.

Well the time spent with you has been splendid and my children and I have
enjoyed your company. We all hope that our new owners like us cause we sure like
them.
Till then, it was nice meeting you!!!!
Here is a champion of the samoyed line that was used for breeding purposes
with "Natasha".
"Natasha", the mother of our young ones was fathered by "Prince" who also
has won ribbons in shows as well. The proud owner of Prince is Jean Yetsky,
located in central Illinois and member of the Samoyed Club, can be reached at
1-217-283-7426. Their trainer is Nancy Martin.
As with this breed, some owners have described four different types of
samoyeds. Shown here is a longer facial frontal in "Tippy" and a shorter frontal
in "Prince". Interesting to note, both of the offspring we own from these
champions reflect the same structural difference.
