Shadow-Wood Samoyeds' Home Page

Welcome to our Shadow-Wood Samoyeds home page.

These pages are about our kennel, our dogs, and our observations that have matured over the past 32 years about the breed and about dogs .

During these years we have been involved with the breed in both confirmation and obedience. We luxuryreplicawatches.is have also have been active in specialty, obedience and all-breed clubs. Through our obedience and all-breed work we have learned about many other breeds. We bring these perspectives (and opinions–see Musings)–to our pages.

We also offer our ideas and thoughts to those new to the breed in our Getting Started page, our FAQs page, and in Patti’s Puppy Guide and Patti’s Show Puppy Guide

For a list of Shadow-Wood pedigrees, click here.

And, if you are interested in buying a puppy when we have a litter (generally no more than one a year–sometimes even less often), please first read Buying a Puppy from Shadow-Wood.

We’ll cover our kennel, recent news, our background in dogs, our observations about the Samoyed breed, and about showing in confirmation and obedience (such as a warning of the pitfalls of training for obedience competition with food).

Lastly, to avoid repeating what others have already covered so well, we have given you links to several of the many good Sammy sites. And if you are new to the breed, go to the links at our ‘Getting Started’ page.

-SHADOW-WOOD’S SOLITARY BOOM — TOP SAMMY AGILITY DOG AGAIN-

Shadow-Wood’s Solitary Boom MACH (Mitzi), owned and trained to perfection by Kylie Bourke, has earned the top Samoyed in Agility award at both the 2003 and 2005 Samoyed Club of America National Specialties. Way to go, Kylie. She also just completed her MACH title; only the fourth Samoyed to do so. This is the second MACH that Kylie has put on a Sammy bitch – so kudos to both dog and owner/trainer!

“Tank” remains the #2 Sammy all-breed standings, and #4 in the breed standings according to the Canine Chronicle as of 9/30/05.

Tank is owned, campaigned and loved by Marge Goodenough, who also owns Panzer, Tank’s sire.

SHADOW-WOOD’S GANDOLF THE WHITE TAKES GROUP TWO HIS FIRST SHOW

Gandy, owned by Carol and Gordon Billington, went to his first show this summer and took BOB and a Group Two on his first outing! Go Gandy! On November 12th he took a 3 point major with a Best of Winners (photo). Gandy is from the first litter out of Shadow-woods Lunar Delight (Didi) by Ch. Shaow-wood’s Sonofagun (Gunny) and is just beginning his career. He picked up two more points and several reserves in his first venture onto a long circuit in December, so he is well poised to finished his championship in early 2006.

SHADOW-WOOD’S VODKA GIMLET

Gimlet now has six points, including one major and many admirers even though he continues to frustrate his owners and handlers with his lack of interest in dog shows! Gimlet has also been accompaning his brother and Annie to shows with Cathy, and is accumulating those little points one and two at a time. He will soon be searching for that last major.

SHADOW-WOOD’S ANNIE TOOK A SHOT

Sadie accompanied her new co-owners/handlers, Mike and Bridgett Abler, to the Eastern Shore this weekend, picking up her first point on Friday. We are looking forward to watching Bridgett and Sadie having fun together this coming year. Sadie, Gimlit and Tank are all littermates.
