SnoPaws you make me laugh... If you had asked I would of told you there were 54 dogs in total. I know you are trying to belittle Dannkia taking out all 3 best in shows, but I actually dont care! She is not even 12 months, is sitting on 98 CC points with 4 RU BIG and many class in group/show awards at all breeds champ shows not to meantion a RU BIS at an Open show (the GS judge was a All Breeds judge too), I dont show every week and as you are aware I work sundays so I am proud of her achievements to date. Yep it might of been only a small competition but it was a fun night, gives the trainer judges a chance to go over dogs and gives the dogs a run and yes I was proud the three judges picked Dannika as their Best in Show winner. PS. I did delete the post you put on my facebook, if you dont have anything nice to say - don't say it at all

I am in too I think it was a fabulous idea by Vic Dog last year and will again participate I love that I was able to enter my girl who I lost late 2009 along with my current dogs. I have already let people know it is coming via Facebook, and as soon as we can enter will let all my friends across the world know. ~ Thinking of everyone in Queensland and their animals xoxo ~

Kennel or family samoyeds Both can be very successful in the showring Family Samoyeds or pets are part of the family first and foremost which I personaly think is important :D

When you say now 8 weeks? have you had the puppy before 8 weeks? Samoyed puppies are super cute, the best thing is when they get older they are just as cute

I don't agree. A friend of mine was told the same thing by her breeder and ended up getting a boy, she is so amazed by my girl and her love and loyalty to me because the breeder told her boys are the more loving ones, she has had to really work with her boy to build the bond. We have only ever had a maximum of 5 Samoyeds and we are a family of 4 (I have 2 ), but my point is the more time you spend with your Samoyed (male or female) the stronger the bond is. Temperament is important though and yes it can differ from puppy to puppy, and this is not dependant on sex. As puppies you can tell the very outgoing ones from the more relaxed. But in saying that my girl Shimmer loves playing fetch, do herding, agility or showing, but would be just as happy to cuddle all day in bed. She is most happy when we are doing something together, and if she wants a cuddle she just leaps into my arms . During the day she is at home and completely happy. Sonnet my boy well he is going through the "Junior stage" - stuble and disobedient at tims but loves cuddles but loves to play. Shimmer has been easier to train, but that also comes back to "time". I had a little more time to train her. Our other kids Coco (girl) is very relaxed and obedient without any proper training, Inka (boy) is very responsive when you want to teach him something and Monet (girl) is the most lovable girl who just wants cuddles, and would love them all day. They all love cuddles, and are very spoilt family members. In my opinion I think sometimes the difference is "kennel dogs" Vs "family dogs" rather than male Vs Female. Family dogs are around people more and develop a love and bond that is unique. It is in my opinion that family dogs have a lot more personality and are often better socialised and this is also passed onto puppies. I definitely notice the difference of "Kennel" dogs and "family" Samoyeds in the show ring. People in other breeds may except aggression but Samoyeds should not show agression towards any human! Our standard states The Samoyed is intelligent, alert, full of action but above all displaying affection towards all mankind. This comes from their breed history, they would work all day and keep the children warm at night. My Sammys live with 2 cats and a rabbit. If samoyeds are brought up with animals they are generally very good with them. My bunny has attitude and my dogs love her, but I wouldn't allow a Samoyed outside my home near her as they would be used to a Bunny. I am sure a Sammy would be fine with a JP as a friend, JP can be a little bit of a jealous breed so you might want to check the JP will love a Sammy. Bindi on DOL has a Sammy & a Pug and they are great together. Samoyeds really are fabulous dogs, cookiez if you are really considering getting a Samoyed in the future I would recomend you talk to a couple of breeders, get to meet their dogs, see the temperments. Some people think dogs that wins heaps are the best dogs, this is not always the case. I am sure if you decide to welcome a Samoyed into your home you will wonder why you haven't done it sooner, they really are amazing ETA - due to grammer

I have friends overseas that also wish to donate, is a pay pal account likey to be set up? or it is already can someone please share the details ~ Thinking of everyone & their animals in Queensland ~

I haven't received my number yet, but with Australia Post only working 2 days this week I'm not surprised, there maybe a long line at the Secretaries office at the start of the show. Best of Luck everyone and a hope you have a fabulous NYE

I agree, show training away from home, as your home is a safe environment that is her confort zone. Make it positive, fun and a happy experience (but not over the top). Only short training sessions are important you dont want to bore her. Tell the judge she is lacking confidence and I am sure the judge will approach is a confident but calm manner that will assist her. I would get someone that is calm, but confident to handle her, if that is you great but it need to be positive (no nerves), pat her heaps and say good girl. As a young girl persist but if she really doesn't enjoy it, you wont either. I would try for a few months as they do go through stages, but unfortunately you may not end up showing her. I am a strong believer in doing activities both you and the dog enjoy Best of luck

Poor baby We don't clip or shave our because they are show dogs, instead we give them ice water, leave wet towels down on hot summer days and make sure they have plenty of shade. I do understand you not wanting to put him through the grooming, keep in mind Samoyeds that are shaven are subject to getting sunburnt, so this is something you will need to watch. The Samoyed coat actually protect them from the sun as they have sliver tips that reflect the sun and being white helps too. You can purchase cool coats which also keep them cool. (http://www.coolingvests.com.au/) How old is he?

Samoyeds have the biggest entry in group 6

I just want to say a BIG thank you to the committee for putting on such a fabulous show. I was told it was a great show and I wasn't let down one bit. Such a community spirit & great atmosphere. So glad the sun was shinning all weekend My girl Shimmer (Aust Ch Airebis Kissed By Moonlite HIC) went Best in Group Saturday and Runner Up Best in Group Sunday and I was thrilled

I am sure dispite the weather it will be a great show, I know a few have said it maybe cancelled but I think if grong grong is cancelled they should be as it is raining everywhere.... and last time I checked Dec was meant to be the start of summer

I tried to reply via PM but your inbox is full! Just out of curiosity, did you get Fletcher from Kalaska Samoyeds? he looks so much like my Zac that I would bet that Fletchers dad was Alex!!! Bindi has been super busy so I thought I would reply Fletcher is not from Kalaska and Alex is not in his pedigree at all. (He has Snerzok, Mezen, Airebis, Aldonza & Overseas dogs in his pedigree, Alex's pedigree is one side all overseas and the Dam side is oz, so there maybe a couple of dogs behind there from simular line (depends on who your Zac Dam is ) Fletcher sire is Mezen Jedi Knight "Lucus" he is currently in New Zealand. His Dam is Snerzok Chase The Wind "Miriah" I sure you have lots of fun with your Samoyed, they are fabulous dogs with wonderful happy outgoing personalities

Wire creates are very simular, I have 3 a giant one and 2 normal sized ones. Make sure you lock the top and the bottom of the crate because they can push through and hurt themselves in they are determined enough. I think the look of the first link. Samoyeds are great dogs and I am sure you will create many wonderful memories together Best of Luck

Thanks heaps Sway

Samoyed Colours The original Samoyed dogs were of several colours – including Black. The breed’s colours varied from tribe to tribe. The first Samoyed dog imported to England as a foundation dog for a breeding program was Sabarka, a brown coloured dog with white chest and feet. Sabarka was purchased by Ernst Kilburn-Scott as a gift to his wife. The white Samoyeds in the expeditions caught the eye of Kilburn-Scott and soon after he imported Whitey Petchora, a cream-coloured female. These two imported dogs were breed together & the litter had a mixture of White, Brown & Black puppies. A total of twelve Sammies were imported to Britain that were determined to be purebred and those few dogs are responsible for the full line of Samoyeds today. Biscuit and cream are highly prized by breeders and it is very important to retain this colouring. The shaded outer coat has been found to be better and harsher in texture, so necessary for survival in adverse environments. Biscuit colouring is necessary to preserve not only pigmentation, but also other breed characteristics. I particularly love the biscuit especially just behind the ears. My girl Tamiera (Multi RBISS Aust Ch Airebis Arctic Whisper) was a pure white puppy with gorgeous apricot colouring behind her ears. In her older years the biscuit appeared throughout her coat and when she passed away last year she was half white and half biscuit. Her Mother (BISS Aust Ch Airebis Love in the Mist) & Grandfather Mosco (Ch Airebis Russian Roulette) all developed biscuit colouring as they got older. One of Tika’s daughters was born with a lot of biscuit, and was registered as a biscuit bitch; she was named Airebis winter tapestry, never shown but an absolutely lovely bitch. This is very rare and often puppies are born White or cream, occasionally having a little shading of biscuit. In saying this a young puppy is currently being shown as is biscuit and white. The standards FCI Standard (America & some European countries) –the standard calls for the coat to be white, cream, all biscuit, or white and biscuit. All other colours are disqualifications. Most Samoyeds are white, and many have biscuit marking on the ears and around the eyes. English Standard (Australian/England etc) - The Samoyed breed standard states that Samoyed colour is "pure white, white and biscuit, cream". This is very important to breeders, so please do not think that a Samoyed is inferior if there is a lot of biscuit colouring through the coat or a creamy tinge, it is ideal In the near future there may only be one standard, instead of two, but either way biscuit is important in both.

I think it is extremely sad an 8 month old puppy is pregnant. It seems very irresponsible of the "owner", and to me this story doesn't add up! - If the puppy got out - it has to have been out a while to be pregnant enough to know the bitch is in whelp - where are the posters, notices in newspapers etc? Why haven't local vets been contacted, pounds etc? The owners don't seem to be searching hard enough for this puppy! I have been in this situation and I didn't leave a rock unturned. - Very likely the bitch could be pregnant because the owners mated her? Now that would be very cruel considering she is only 8 months. - I would highly doubt she is stollen. It is a very sad story regardless of how this occur, the poor Lab has lost her innocence of being a puppy. I am sure she is very scared and unsure of what is going on. It is a shame there is no microchip. I just hope the best for this pup and Ellz I can see your offer is genuine and only have the Puppy and her puppies best interests at heart. I think Dory the Doted One made some very good points, to give the owner the beneifit of the doubt, hopefully someone can take her in, contact the pound and let them know where she is. In advertsing she is lost I would not say she is pregnant it may attract people who will think $$$ and not actually own the dog.

if we had back seats in the van we'd say yes. Goodluck getting a ride, cu up there! I could fit in with the poodles. I am leaving this afternoon/early evening and have room as Bindi and I are driving seperate. Happy to help but not sure if timing suits you

Hi Frostypaws Firstly ;) We are excited and look forward to the arrival of Zoe special litter. Her first litter was lovely, and I am sure this litter will live up to its expectations. Linda isn't on dol to my knowledge - FB is her speciality Samoyeds are great fun and I am sure when you welcome one into your family you will have many fabulous memories :D , until then enjoy all the pics on dol and be sure to go cuddle Zoe's pups when they arrive. xoxox

I don't know too much about the breed but from what I know Lagotto Romagnolo might suit. I would suggest to research first though

maybe a Lab - They are Intelligent, keen and biddable, with a strong will to please. Happy dogs!
