Letters and notes from owners of our puppies
We love receiving updates from owners of our puppies. If you are one – please stay in touch and let us know how your cute puppy matures into an amazing adult Samoyed.
Hey! We hope everything is going well for you both! We thought you might appreciate an update from Luna after her first year. She is doing great! She loves running around the yard, eating ice cubes, and playing with her favorite stuffed toys. We got an SUV so we can travel around the state with her. She’s the most beautiful dog in the neighborhood and she knows it! We couldn’t be happier having her as a part of the family.
Hope the new pups aren’t keeping you guys up all night!

You may not remember me, but I am the crazy lady who drove from Virginia just to see the March 2019 litter before selecting our absolutely amazing Loki.
Loki is our 7th Sam since 1977 (including our granddog, Datsyuk), so when I tell you that you are breeding the most amazingly intelligent Samoyeds ever, I am speaking from considerable experience. My husband previously trained German Shepherds and has always insisted that no dog could follow a series of commands (like, “get your red ball, bring it to me, and then go to the kitchen to catch it”), but Loki can. He knows the names of every one of his toys, and he has so many he needs 2 large toy bins to hold them. Loki can even differentiate between the different color tennis balls. In fact, there are many days when we feel he may actually be a little too intelligent! He loves to watch tennis on tv and will be riveted to the tv is there are babies, children, or any animal. We often play videos of when he was a puppy and he clearly loves watching these. He also is very good at FaceTime when one of us are away from him.
While being a typically affectionate Sam, he also has a strong protective character. From the moment he came to our home, he exhibited a totally different “bark” whenever he heard an unusual noise or sensed someone unknown near our home. As for being affectionate, he is quite demanding as to when and how much affection he wants. He will cuddle in bed for more than an hour. He also demands that he blow his nose into a kleenex whenever he perceives it is running a bit. I know he initially did this to imitate us doing so, but lately he has actually come over to me and nudged the tissue box for me to get and hold the tissue so he can blow his nose runny nose! And he actually does blow it!
He can clearly communicate in Sammie speak and can say “I love you” so clearly that even people unfamiliar with the breed have done a double take when I have prompted him to tell me he loves me. He has no difficulty showing us what he wants when we aren’t sure and we say “show me” to him. We have bought those puzzles for him to keep him busy for a bit, but he figures them out so quickly, we’re not sure there is any point to continue to do so.
Aside from being exquisitely beautiful, especially his tail, he has had no medical issues except for some initial gastrointestinal issues when we first brought him home. However, we finally found food that agrees with him and so that issue is a thing of the past. We moved back to Florida from Virginia shortly after we got him and when I took him in to the new veterinarian for his next round of vaccinations, she cautioned me about all the potential issues one might see in a Samoyed. I explained that I had was all too well aware of the common issues (eyes, hips, kidneys, skin, etc.) having experienced virtually every one of these issues at some point with our previous Sams, but that I couldn’t detect any anomalies in Loki, especially as to his hips, eyes, and skin/coat. I know the veterinarian thought I was nuts since he was only 14 weeks at the time, but has since admitted that she has never seen a more perfect specimen. Having had two previous Sams that required hip replacements (one who had his first hip replaced at 12 months and the second at 24 months), I knew Loki had no hip issues. The veterinarian did X-ray them when he was neutered and even though he was just seven months, it was obvious that everything was exactly as it should be.
As we all know, there are no real guarantees that something might someday crop up medically, but he is basically the most unbelievable Sammie imaginable. Despite my husband’s and my relatively advanced age, I know when that dreaded time comes and we will have to face life without Loki, we will not be able to face life without another Samoyed. I pray that you will still be breeding these amazing Sams. Thank you so much. They say you can’t “buy” love, but clearly you can!
